Opal Sands Resort
"Spectacular Beach view, the staff was AMAZING everywhere we went, and SEAGUINI restaurant truly made our stay special. Our room and all common areas were spotless. The only downsides were the worn-out mattresses and an A/C that never cooled enough to reach a comfortable 70°F at night."
