Jillian was so awesome at the front desk! She is amazing and very helpful concerning all aspects of our stay. Jansen in the bar was amazing as well and we enjoyed our time at the bar with him. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to experience the excellence of an opal hotel. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning in the hotel . We are not normally breakfast eaters, but the menu and quality of the food changedall of that on the first day. We will definitely be back very very soon. Thank you for a most excellent stay!

A great location even though the is a road between the hotel and beach. The sister Opal resort, which you can take a shuttle to is on the beach. That property needs to extend the time they pay their beach staff to be 30 minutes AFTER the sunset, getting kicked out of the beach chairs 20 minutes before the sunset was very annoying. The restaurant in the Cirque was OK, good for breakfast and the pool bar and staff were great.

Highly recommended this gem of a property. Beautiful modern art deco circus theme decor with historical photography. This Opal luxury is brand new. The front reception staff and restaurant staff were so helpful and friendly. They really care about sustainability and provide water bottle fill up stations on every floor to reduce plastic. Great access to the beach and walkable in 5 minutes to Armand Circle full of boutiques, bars and restaurants. There is a free shuttle that takes you to the sister Lido Beach resort if you want a private beach or to go downtown. I loved that included in my daily resort fee I had parking on site. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise.
