Meet Our 2017 #H2OpalPhotoContest Finalists

Whether it’s on the lakes of New York, the beaches of Florida, or the rocky coast of Maine, on-the-water experiences are at the heart of every Opal Collection resort and destination. That’s why we asked Opal guests to share their  favorite photos of a waterside adventure. After reviewing all the eye-catching candidates, we narrowed it down to these finalists – one of which will win a three-night stay at an Opal Collection hotel and resort.
