The brussel sprouts appetizer is HUGE. It was double the size I have received at other places, so took some back to the hotel for leftovers. They also came with a tasty dipping sauce that was unique as well. The Caesar salad was neutral; no strong flavor yet not distasteful. No anchovies taste either. I could take it or leave it. The filet steak was tender served over some mashed potatoes and thick asparagus wrapped in salty, yummy bacon. The smoky old fashioned and expresso martini (with Baileys added extra!) drinks were tasty. Make a reservation online and Uber/Lyft if you are close as it's easy in and out!

We ended up splitting the seafood pasta dish, and it was more than either of us could eat, even after splitting it. Service was good for dinner. Martini was good, but the blue cheese stuffed olives were prepackaged from a jar. Breakfast blew us away. Every dish we had was great. I don't think you can go wrong. Breakfast pizza was surprisingly great and enough for two people to split. Service at breakfast was fantastic. The coffee was always flowing and the servers were always smiling. The atmosphere and ambience are OK. I don't love the vibe, as it felt like a dated dining room experience. But Food was still great. If you are staying at the Opal Sands, the entire complex has amazing food and you don't even have to leave. Huge benefit to staying there.

The front desk experience, however, fell well short of that standard. Before arrival, the resort offered pre-arrival text communication. I requested a top-floor room and received vague, unhelpful responses. On arrival day I was told the room might be ready early, but when I asked to be notified by text so we could time our drive, I was told guests must be physically present for updates -- which defeats the purpose of pre-arrival texting entirely. The top-floor request was denied at check-in; the room had already been assigned with no attempt to honor the request. Midway through our stay I discovered I had booked two nights instead of three and asked to extend. I was told our suite type was unavailable and we'd have to accept a room without a Gulf view. The morning of checkout I checked the hotel's own website and found our exact suite type listed as available that night. When I pointed this out, the explanation was that an incoming guest would simply be relocated or upgraded. That same consideration was not extended to us -- on our 37th wedding anniversary. When management responded to my initial rating and asked to have someone reach out, I replied that I would welcome that, but only if they actually reviewed the communication failures and committed to addressing them. I have no interest in apologies or compensatory offers. I want assurance that someone in leadership will look at how the front desk operates. No one from management ever followed up. The property has genuine strengths. That makes the front desk failures more frustrating, not less. A better-run operation would have kept us another night. Instead we left with a poor impression of an otherwise fine hotel.

We had the steak, pizza and pasta bolognese as well as the hummus appetizer and the Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and hot if applicable. The ambience is wonderful for a date night but what made it extra special was the restaurant manager who really made it all run so amazingly. You can tell the wait staff are enjoying their job and the chefs are all on it because of Dominic. We have been to many a restaurant in our 60 plus years but it takes a great manager to make it all come together. This is so worth visiting when you come to visit Clearwater Beach! What a treat to dine here!!

    Fantastic casual dining restaurant with a fine dining feel. I had no idea this place was considered…read morecasual dining until the table next to us asked for a manager who explained it as part of their response to a complaint. No complaints here though! What makes this place unique? They offered Caymus Cabernet BY THE GLASS, which I have not found before, and I frequent higher end restaurants often. It was fun to have a high-end glass of wine without spending hundreds on a bottle. It's also nice if you want to try other drinks. The espresso martini (get it with Baileys added for a smoother taste!) is huge and delicious. Brussel sprouts appetizer and feta whip appetizer were both tasty and ample for two people. The spicy fish tacos are Mahi Mahi and a MUST if you like Mahi. I will only eat Mahi if close to the ocean, and it was great. No fishy taste, nice and tender. The brownie dessert that was off-menu was perfect for a sweet bite. So many nice restaurants get too crazy with their specialty desserts, and sometimes you just want a simple yet decadent treat like a brownie! Make a reservation on their website and relax. It's an easy Uber ride if staying locally as well.

    Still a solid experience…read more We came here for one evening to celebrate the end of school. We came at about 3:15 PM on a Friday and our room was ready early which was great. We were on floor 16 which is the top floor. At first, I was worried I would be afraid going on the balcony because of how high it is, but it doesn't feel terribly high. I actually recommend asking for a higher floor because that's where the best views of the beach are. We only went to the Opal sol pool this time instead of Opal Sands. They have two pools, which is great because one felt like an adult pool whereas the other one felt like a children pool even though there was no designation. It made me feel better about my two children splashing about. There is also a pool by the Spa that I think adults should escape to if they want to get away from children. The one downside of the pool is they don't have many servers walking around taking orders. I ended up walking up to the bar to put in a food and drink order because the only server was on the far side of the pool the entire time. I tried berries and bubbles and a strawberry Mo-to-to, both were fantastic. We learned we do not like the chips and salsa. My older son did and liked the queso, but nobody else in the family did. We also love the hot tub and you can turn on jets if you want. Even though it doesn't feel like they have a ton of seating, we never had a hard time finding a seat, so people do a good job cleaning up after themselves if they leave their seats. They also have tons of towels, I never thought I would appreciate this so much until we were at another hotel that limited guests to four at a time, so I appreciate that you can take towels to the beach and then come back and grab new towels. The rooms are beautiful. They feel spacious and everything is still pretty new since it was built at the beginning of 2025. All rooms look at the beach, so it is nice sitting on the balcony and looking out at the water. One random criticism is that they don't have any non-caffeinated tea, all their tea has caffeine in it that they offer in the room. Room service is very quick. We got chicken tenders and fries and grilled chicken and fries. I tried the Ahi tuna starter and loved it. My younger son loved his grilled chicken and older son ate the fries. Even though the hotel isn't right on the beach, it is literally across the street from the beach so super convenient to get to. Clearwater beach is beautiful. It has powdery white sand, and there are ample amounts of chairs that you can purchase to sit on. They only have valet so the one downside is it takes a while to get your car, but if most of your vacation is on the beach, you won't need your car anyway. I also appreciate that they have snacks that they put out at 8 AM. They also apparently have cookies at 3 PM, but we totally missed seeing that. I forgot to bring the kids snacks so this was a lifesaver when the kids grabbed granola bars for breakfast. They also have Board games on every floor, which I think is a nice touch. I always enjoy our stay here. I would recommend.
