Chic and luxury at every twist and turn, Opal Sands welcomes you with laid-back beach vibes and cool art adorning the walls. Take a dip in the zero-entry pool, complete with stunning views over the beach and private cabanas you can rent for the day. You won’t want to miss the beach’s white sands, and what could be better than sitting, cocktail in hand, with your feet in the soft powder. Taste some local seafood in the restaurant, or you could have a night in with room service. But don’t just spend your days on-land, have a go at some water sports and have fun in the sun (and sea).

We had a wonderful experience during our stay with our family of 5. Valet, front desk personnel were professional and made a great first impression. The hotel suite was very clean & spacious and housekeeping did an amazing job each day. The pool side was very fun and lively. The beach view is incredible! And everything is in walking distance or a quick uber ride. The restaurant on site was incredible. The hotel also lends bikes for hotel guests as well, which was a nice touch. The only mistake we made was renting a vehicle for a week, which we didnt need to do. If come back to Clearwater, we will definitely be coming back here to stay.
