Beautiful Views

We enjoyed our 4 day stay at Opal Sands. The view from the balcony overlooking the gulf was amazing. Our room was very clean, bed comfortable. We also enjoyed dining at Seaguini in the morning (breakfast buffet) and for dinner. I would recommend the hotel for a laid back vacation or those looking for an upscale family friendly stay.

The check in staff at Opal Sol Tower were welcoming and very helpful, but I can’t say the same for those in the Opal Sands Tower. Other than the confusion of finding the front desk from one tower to the other, overall the stay was pleasant & the rooms were clean, is key for me. I’d definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
⸻ This was a complete disaster. My daughter’s birthday and our entire vacation were ruined due to undisclosed policies—specifically, they refused Apple Pay at check-in. We were charged $3,600 but only refunded $668. Staff on April 14th were rude, evasive, and one falsely claimed to be the manager, refusing to answer questions. We were told the real manager wouldn’t arrive until 2 p.m.—unacceptable for any hotel. We had to cut our trip short and were treated with zero accountability. This was not just bad service—it was dishonest and potentially illegal. Legal and BBB complaints will follow. Avoid this place at all costs.
