Opal Sands offers a delightful retreat with a stunning beach location and spacious, comfortable rooms that provide amazing Gulf views. The attentive staff truly enhances the experience, and the dining options are top-notch, especially at Seaguini. However, there were some delays during dining service that could hinder the overall enjoyment for some guests. The pool area is fantastic, ideal for relaxing, but check-in could take some time, which might be a bit frustrating.

Opal Sands is a stunning resort that made my visit incredibly memorable with its breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. The rooms are spacious and offer magnificent Gulf views, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere.
