Tiki bar plus patio dining equals paradise
The Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort pitches the South Florida lifestyle ever so perfectly. From the sundeck and outdoor pool, guests fall for the ocean views and the poolside tiki bar. Inside, the tropical feel is never far behind. Rooms and suites capture local flair via landscape and coastal-themed artwork, plus balconies in some spaces that let in sea breezes.
Highlights
- Beachfront hotel with heated outdoor pool
- Indoor/outdoor restaurant and tiki bar
- Free Wi-Fi
- Suites also available with kitchens, living and dining areas
Rooms
Tasteful furniture and a modern palette grounded in olive, yellow and brown lend subtle sophistication to the 225 rooms and 15 suites at the Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort. Cheerful artwork depicts tropical flora and fauna and nautical scenes. Balconies spoil with ocean views, while inside, guests unwind on chenille lounge chairs or king or double beds. Suites have added advantages like separate kitchens, living and dining spaces. Free Wi-Fi, cable TV, microwave and mini refrigerator are standard in every room.
Dining
A trip to Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort is not complete without a refreshing cocktail at the tiki bar or a leisurely meal at the on-site indoor and outdoor restaurant. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., the eatery treats diners to upscale casual fare and beach vistas through arched open-air windows.
Recreation
Lazy palms and bright blue beach chairs hug the heated oceanfront pool, which is gated for privacy. The brick sundeck also holds patio tables so Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort guests can enjoy alfresco dining. Thrill-seekers hit the nearby water sports business to rent jet skis, banana rides, snorkeling and scuba equipment, while on dry land, a game room and fitness center serve as backup plans.

Disappointed
Front desk did not greet us when we walked in and allowed themselves to finish goofing off before they acknowledged us standing there. The room was old and smelled like rust. And the valet was under-staffed on a holiday weekend so they had us get our own car and we were still charged for it. Was really looking forward to getting away from the kids for a night and the rooms were way different then they looked on the website. AND it wasn't cheap!

Weekend Getaway
Amazing hotel if you want a simple and affordable getaway. You can avoid the pricey hotel prices with a short 3 minute walk to the supermarket, diner or liquor store. The housekeeper wasn't very helpful and a bit ridiculous but the front desk is helpful. She refused to give us bed sheets because "they were all dirty and in the wash" but we called the front desk and they gave us what we needed. The beach, pool and jacuzzi are all around the same area. We even witnessed a wedding which was beautiful. I definitely recommend.

Can't get any closer to the beach
This hotel is right on the beach...you can't get any closer. Our room was just fine for what we needed. The beach and the water were very clean. The beach wasn't crowded on the weekdays and the weather was perfect! Be prepared to pay $12 per day to park. I think that is a bit pricey. The hotel was fine on the weeknights. By the time Saturday rolled around the place was very full and loud at night. There were very noisy people in the room next door until about 4:00 a.m.

Single mom getaway
Quick mini vacation
My decision to stay here was based on the many positive reviews. This hotel is literally on the beach. Upon my arrival I was upgraded to a better room with a beautiful view of the ocean for no additional charge. The room was clean and somewhat modern . Many stores within walking distance so you don't need a car. If you decide to bring a car it is an additional fee. Overall it was worth it. I would stay here again.

Just an average place
This is just an OK place and nothing to write home about. The food is not up to par for the price they are charging.
