There is constant construction and this resort charges crazy fees. $35 for complimentary water and phone service. $40 a day for parking- no option for self parking. The valet was rude upon arrival. The construction was so loud you couldn’t hear the ocean. Road work blocking everything and the construction workers were yelling at guest. They should not be open during this or at a much cheaper rate. Do better Opal Sands- this was my only opportunity to get away to relax with my husband and I regret this stay!!!

This is a tough review of one of our favorite hotels of all time. Check in was ok - they had trouble explaining the charges (they were correct, just not clear), we have always received a higher floor and we got 4th floor, no special welcome, there are cool guest pantries on each floor with water, ice, fresh fruit, cookies and snacks but sadly, we only had water and one day a bag of peanuts left. Not sure why these aren’t being attended but not even ice available. Due to hurricane, tiki bar not open and they didn’t make us aware or offer any discounts or complimentary drink at bar etc. the pool area was wonderful and service and staff there outstanding. This review is based on room being over $500/night so high expectations. Just ok stay overall mainly with lack of communication and not servicing some of the cool unique things they advertise.

Opal Sands Resort in Clearwater never disappoints. The breathtaking views of the Gulf are unmatched, making every moment feel like a retreat. Even with recent challenges from Hurricane Milton, the resort maintained its exceptional standards. The staff, led by Manager Georgi, provided outstanding service, ensuring we felt welcomed and well cared for throughout our stay. I can’t wait to return and experience this beautiful destination again.

Exceptional experience post Hurricane Milton
Outstanding experience from a resort just rebounding from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. We intentionally stayed there while in town to support their business and efforts to ramp up staffing as so many in the area were impacted from the storms.
Restaurant had a reduced menu given the hurricane but exceptional service and food.
The amenities showed some damage from the recent Hurricanes but it did not negatively impact our ability to enjoy them at all.
The beaches in the community are still in signifant need of repair which are aggressively in progress, but unless the beach is the only reason you're here, it didn't impact our stay at all.
