10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I and our daughter drove in from Miami to celebrate her 15th birthday. She wanted to tour Ringling Art College nearby and this circus themed hotel was perfect! We fell in love with the decor, it was done beautifully. We also really enjoyed the boutique vibe - nostalgic, swanky but low key. And the food was amazing!! We’re already planning to come back later this year.

Great Lido Beach hotel

Recently renovated hotel. Decor was circus chic. Hotel was clean and staff very friendly. St Armond Circle and sister hotel Lido Beach Resort all 7 minutes walking away. They also have shuttle service. So it was great to not have to drive around and deal with traffic. I would definitely stay again

Charles, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable and spacious. The amenities were nice and the room was updated. The staff was friendly and helpful. In room dining was still figuring out it's flow since the hotel opened 8 weeks ago. We had a view of Lido Beach and loved having balcony access both from our room and the seating area. Walking distance from St Armand's!

Enjoyed the weekend.

Quality and luxury hotel, excellent staff. The beach is public beach and is across the road. Towels are provided but no chairs or umbrellas. The hotel provide a free short shuttle ride to sister hotel Lido Beach Resort (which we prefer) with acess to their private beach, chairs and umberllas pools, resutrants and bar. Armond circle is few blocks away or you can use the free shuttle.

Lido Beach Returning Visitor

Nice place that used to be the Holiday Inn Opal now manages it & Well improved- All staff are friendly & helpful- Was glad to see addition of coffee in the lobby at AM- Would like to see a designated area for smokers- with ashtrays - Lido Beach directly across the street & you can utilize sister hotel Lido Beach resort down the street as well- Trolley & shuttles are right there! Highly recommend- The old Sand castle Resort will be an Opal hotel as well in about 2 years too!

Weekend Stay

Visiting friends on Lido Key for the weekend and we chose this brand new Opal Collection boutique hotel. Excellent walkable location to St Armand’s Circle, be advised “bay view room” means parking lot view, but luckily we got a corner room, so from our balcony we saw parking lot and partial Gulf view which was very nice. So if you prefer a complete beach and gulf view, I suggest paying more for Gulf front room. Elevators are painfully slow. Food was excellent. Will definitely be back.
