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!!!

40th Anniversary

We had the entire family for our 40th anniversary with us. We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed the beach, pool and restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the rooms were very clean. We loved the suit and had plenty of room for game night.

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.
