Obviously, bdb could give you a more up to date description as they are there now.
We were there mid-June. There was a ton of it everywhere. I would guestimate 6" to a foot deep and a solid 3'-4' wide strip along the entire edge of the water. When we were there, the pier had not officially opened, but I walked out onto it...had to step over the sargassum to get to it.
You could smell it when up close to it. I wouldn't call it super offensive (side note...I grew up on Cape Cod so the sargassum smell is no worse than a typical low tide smell...maybe even not as bad). There was absolutely no smell at the pool or jacuzzi. Obviously, heat, wind direction, etc could affect that. If you can't smell it at the pool, you won't smell it anywhere near the lobby or disco.
It sucks that it messes up the beach, but there's absolutely no use worrying about it. June was our very first trip to Pearl, and we did not miss being on the beach for 1 minute...and both my wife and I grew up on beaches.
