This is our second summer staying at the Ocean Palms and we love it! Proximity to the beach can’t be beat. We love the hot tub and pool too. We also appreciate the ability to borrow towels and boogie boards because it makes our beach trips so much easier!

my granddaughter arrived at 8:30 Friday night and parking is a bit of a challenge. The gentleman at the front desk took a look at the two of us and said “you can have my parking space” It was right in front of the building. I never moved my car the rest of the week and did not miss it at all. everything i needed was within walking distance. the staff is so helpful and politeTo say that my granddaughter and I had a fabulous time would be in an understatement. stay here you won’t regret it. Plus, you’ll probably book for next year too. They go fast.

Staycation

We had a great stay at this hotel! The cleanliness really stood out—everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The overall vibe of the place was relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a beach getaway. Best of all, the location couldn’t be better—just steps away from the beach. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay by the ocean!

This place is amazing. I would have given 5 stars but the beds were very uncomfortable. We switched rooms to an upgraded sweet because we decided to stay an extra day. The bed in the upgrade was even more uncomfortable I could feel the springs on my back it felt like a motel 6 bed. My back is still soar from those beds. Hopefully they upgrade the mattresses because we would love to go back and make it a yearly relaxation vacation.

We spent 3 lovely nights at this well kept resort. Right across the street (3 flights of stairs down) to a beautiful beach. We loved the Polynesian style of the hotel! Nice fire pits and outdoor fireplace in the courtyard for cool coastal evenings. The room was well appointed with a large jacuzzi soaking tub. In April it was very quiet but I can only imagine what summer might be like! Comfy king bed and good Starbucks coffee and tea selection for breakfast along with fresh fruit, juices, packaged pastries and yogurt. Just right to start the day! We will return!
