"We had an amazing time! Loved the resort and enjoyed the pool when we were done with the sand! Definitely worth every penny!!! We are coming back as soon as we can! Thank you 🤗"
"My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very nice and accommodating. My kids loved the ocean and pool. The food was also very good. The location was great with access to St Armands Circle."
"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. "
