Isle of Palms Hotels, St. Petersburg - Clearwater

"Opal Sands Resort was and outstanding spring vacation destination. Service, cleanliness, and beautiful surroundings made for a wonderful vacation. The food at Opal Sands was very good. It was worth every cent. It can get a little noisy from the street traffic at times. I would highly recommend Opal Sands."

"Great pool and beach area."

"AJ was amazing!! Helpful, nice and caring. He took great care of us… The location was nice and beautiful… wish the pool was ready but overall the location was nice. Thai you A.J for taking care of us and allowing our first experience to be an amazing one… "

"My family and I stayed for three days. The location is excellent, very quiet at night while still being within walking distance of everything. House keeping was daily and perfect. The room was large with a kitchenette. Beach access is extremely convenient, just a quick crossing of the street, which was never an issue. However, the room was noticeably dated and in need of quality repairs. I hope that ownership gives this hotel the remodel it deserves."

"When I checked in on Friday afternoon, I asked the customer checkin person if there was going to be live music that night. He said yes. I also asked him if I could extend my stay by one day. He said the hotel was full for Saturday night. As it turned out, there was no music. Also, the hotel was not full for Saturday night; I checked on-line to learn there were still rooms available for Saturday night. Just incredibly lazy responses that cost the hotel another night from me."

"We had a room overlooking the beach! Our room was very comfortable. Amazing staff. Very accommodating. Our room was very clean. We would highly recommend this resort to families! They have so much for the children to do. I'm excited to go back again and enjoy St Pete's beautiful beach!!"

"The sleeping area "

"Wyndham Clearwater Beach was a mixed experience. The location is great—right across from the beach with beautiful views—and the bed was very comfortable. Ocean Hai was a standout and definitely worth visiting. However, there were several downsides. The staff didn’t feel particularly friendly or welcoming. My room had a noticeable odor at check-in, and while they addressed it, someone came at 8:30 PM after I was already in bed to spray deodorizer, which wasn’t ideal. Fees add up quickly with parking and the resort charge, and the included beach umbrella isn’t much of a perk since it’s comparable to renting directly and doesn’t include a cabana. Food on the property was disappointing—room service tasted like low-quality, microwaved food (runny quesadilla with nacho cheese, bland potstickers), and a veggie egg wrap from the coffee bar was inedible (though they did replace it with yogurt). Coffee was good, but overall food quality was poor, and gratuity is automatically added at a high rate. Great views and location, but service, fees, and food quality would make me think twice about staying again. "

"Breakfast wasn’t fantastic, but the staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious and quiet"
