We had a wonderful photo shoot with Family Sunset photos. We were on a romantic vacation and chose to do a nice romantic shoot. They came and did a fantastic job. Very smooth process. The photographer was here before…

LanilifeOpal Sands did not disappoint!
Really enjoyed our time at Opal Sands. Fell asleep to the sound of the ocean at night and enjoyed walking through the tunnel and enjoying the pool at Opal Sol.

- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Opal Sands
What time is check-in and check-out at Opal Sands?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Opal Sands allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at Opal Sands?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Opal Sands have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Opal Sands have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Opal Sands have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Opal Sands?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
