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.

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.

There's a very nice BBQ restaurant nearby called Smokey Bone. The baby back ribs are the best around.

Short rest

Booked 4 nights after a cruise to relax in Fort Lauderdale, the hotel was an older building but has been well maintained and was wonderful right on the beach with a tiki bar. For those wishing to explore its a short walk to Lauderdale by the sea which has a lively strip with bars and restaurants. And a number 11 bus takes you to Los Olas in 20 minutes with its bars, shops and restaurants.

Fantastic place to stay

We went to South beach Miami last year . For this year ,my boyfriend and I decided to go to Fort lauderdale instead. We arrived there on Thursday around noon. We re trying to change from double beds to a king bedroom but they ran out of it . Hotel itself is pretty good , they have nice swimming pool and a cosi bar. All staff are nice and friendly . Our room was kinda old decor but clean .We had a tiny bathroom which was ok , but the second day the cleaning lady forgot to give us some towels ;)) . My boyfriend liked they parking space a lot . He loved to park the car by himself, no need for the valet parking . Totally we love this place and our trip a lot and we will come back here again ;)) thank you so much

Great location on the beach, not too expensive

I love this place right on the beach, with swimming pool hot tub short walk to the best restaurant Aruba, the only thing that they dont have longer than 10pm open tiki bar and its really not busy when its bad weather you dont know what to do with your time, its a little byt far from downtown what I dont mind in nice weather which I spend mostly on the beach, but when you are young and single its pretty boring there, but excelent for families couples and people who wat to rest :) Rooms are clean stuff adorable, very helpful and nice, one minus water pressure (o gosh it didnt change and I'm going there each year) But othet than that I love it!

Location Is Everything

We were very happy with the location of this resort. To be able to walk right onto the beach and not have to cross a busy road was a major plus. The hotel itself is a bit run down. It's decent, but not upscale. The water pressure and shower head were terrible. Paying for parking was a drag, but we had to pay to park everywhere in Fort Lauderdale. I would stay here again, if only because of the location. The staff was also friendly.

Awesome!!!

The staff was amazing. Except for the lady in the little shop in it. My boyfriend and I were in there buying towels and she was on her phone the entire time. Other than that, the staff was awesome, the room was awesome and we had a great time. There was a young valet worker when we were there and he could not have been any more nice. Awesome dude :)

The hotel was perfect for us, I had time for golf, as my friend relaxed by the beach, and there were many good restaurants in the area.
