Great stay

Wonderful location. Great beach for guests. Great pool with plenty of lounge chairs for all. Good restaurant. Room was in older wing and a little dated, but large with good view and a great ac. Shower needed a drain cleaning was the only gig along with shortage of complimentary body wash. Otherwise all was good. Nice bed and great pillows.

Property was fantastic just if you want to eat outside of hotel, nothing much is easily in walking distance. I rented a bike and rode to Sarasota a few times but sometimes it would have been nice to have more options closer. However the beach and pool were a fabulous set up and worth the inconvenience to me. Hotel room and amenities were amazing as well

We were happy with our stay. We had an issue with our room and the staff was super friendly and attentive, they handled the situation right away and we had a great stay. The ground are clean and well maintained. The rooms are spacious and the bed was comfortable. The area is quiet, come here if you’re looking for a peaceful beach get away from the bustle of city life.

I will not return. Check-in experience was very disappointing and the room left much to be desired. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable and the bathroom was small. The food and service at the restaurant was superior. The room rate was 604.00 per night. I’ve never experienced a more disappointing stay. Not at all worth the price Not the Opal experience I hoped for.
