Wonderful beach. Enjoy having free coffee in lobby. The shuttle to St. Armands was great. Nice gym. Disappointed that there are no vegan options in restaurant. Our shower was gross. Not what I expect from Opal.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We traveled with our 80 year old family member and everyone went out of their way to make her comfortable. The food was spectacular, and the cocktails were delicious. The walk to the beach is very easy and the pool was wonderful.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful location friendly staff roomy clean rooms. Overall 4 stars because coffee and breakfast didn't open until 7. I would have loved a coffee for my sunrise beach walk. Had dinner at the restaurant on site, delicious but brought the food out at different times so the last person had to eat well after everyone was served and orders were mixed up. People who say down 20 minutes after us ate before all of our party were served. Good in a bind but won't eat there next time.

Clean and spacious room. Bathroom a little tight but it has a vanity out of the bathroom that helped a lot. Restaurant and bar well maintained with excellent food and service. The beach and pool services were also excellent. Clean pool and hot tub.

Great stay at a beautiful, quiet spot! We had a wonderful experience at Zota Beach Resort. The location is absolutely beautiful and incredibly quiet, making it the perfect place to truly unwind away from the crowds. The facility itself is modern, clean, and very well-maintained, but the real highlight was the staff—everyone we encountered was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and hard-working throughout our entire stay. As a bonus, the resort is in a great spot with some fantastic local places to eat just a short distance away. Highly recommend for a relaxing beach getaway!

The staff was great! The room was spacious . The only problem I encountered was the noisy occupants next door. I stayed for twelve days. The valets were very attentive and prompt in fetching my automobile. I plan on returning next year!
