Beautiful room. Perfect for staying a couple of days. Fully furnished kitchen and electric stove, microwave, pans, dishes, utensils, the works!! Very clean, friendly but firm rules. The only thing i was taken by surprise was the "continental breakfast" whoch consisted of wrapped donuts, granola bars, and fresh fruit. Worked for me anyways but so looking forward a nice sit down breakfast. I still highly recommend this place. The view is spectacular since it is ocean view. Just loved it❤️

The room was wonderful & the location was lovely but the only complaint is the loud noise of people closing there doors loudly & it was continuous one night & kids running down the hallway but other than that i would stay again & good reasonable pricing. Thank you

It was nice and clean and great location. Walking distance to many food and drinking spots. Only thing was the walls were super thin and we can hear everything. I recommend staying on the second floor or the rooms that don’t have rooms above you. Other than that, it was perfect.

Ocean Palm beach resort is an older resort but with close proximity to the beach, the village & walkable to shops & restaurants. The room we stayed is a 2 bedroom luxury suite. It has kitchen, cozy dining area, living room & 1 bathroom. The electric stove is functional enough to cook a descent meal (but no condiments or paper towel included). The bedroom have a nice view of the ocean, w/c is just across the street. The pool is clean but the sauna looks like need a little cleaning up. All in all it was a good 2 night stay. The hotel parking is limited but theres ample street paring & safe. Thanks to the manager in honoring my Expedia reservation, will definitely stay again.
