This is NOT an upscale hotel although the prices reflect that. The service was below average except for the valet who was too notch.The rooms were decent & were pretty big. If your bringing your dog beware as you have to walk to the front of the property (very hot grounds) just for them to use the bathroom!

I loved how clean and quiet this place is. Being a small building complex helps control the amount of people. The beaches are beautiful. Love how pet friendly it is, but also keep all the rooms neat and clean and not smelling like animals.

Away from the Anna Maria congestion and right on the beach. We received 2 free beach lounges with our room whih was very nice and I loved not having to save lounge chairs by the pool, there were plenty of chairs available all day long.

Nice room and nice place but the staff was rude and act like we were bothering them when we ordered at the pool bar. Also the staff cut infront of me several times going through doors without saying a word. Maybe some hospitality training would help. The pool looked liked it hadn’t been cleaned for awhile, real dingy. Weve stayed at opal resorts and the staff and hotels are always top notch but this one was not. Disappointing for such a cool place based off the pictures online. Never again!!!

They added $500+ in charges to our room account without further verifying. BTW- When they tell you equipment for beach is included at beach hut that does not include the umbrella @ $40, just 2 chairs. Do your yourselves the favor and pay cash or with your credit card. To avoid having to go through the unpleasant situation of having to take your time to dispute, room charges and calling back and fourth.
