Opal Sol is a wonderful hotel, the rooms are beautiful with each room having a balcony and sea view over Clearwater beach. The pools are fantastic, clean and warm with plenty of sunbeds available so it didn’t ever feel too crowded. The staff are wonderful and the Restaurants on property are all great, breakfast at Toast is excellent and dinner at Sea Guinii in the sister hotel Opal Sands was really wonderful. If you are staying at Opal Sol you can enjoy the pools at Opal Sands which was a real bonus as personally I preferred the pools in this hotel.
There were only a few minor downsides which in the grand scheme of things, really were minor but small improvements really could level this hotel up from being wonderful to exceptional.
There are a lack of parasols around the pools and pool chairs, in the blazing hot Florida sun, an umbrella is really needed.
There were no products in the bathroom (Shower gel, Shampoo or Conditioner) for a nice hotel I found this a little strange.
There is nowhere to shower on property if you have a late flight home and you are sticking around to enjoy the pool and beach ahead of your flight, this is something that for me personally when I’m travelling is really important, the hotel staff were really accommodating and did offer a late check out but in my opinion it should be a standard offering.
If I come back to Clearwater in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to book Opal Sol again.
