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!

Perfect location for running the Carlsbad 5000. Stayed here last year and will again next year. Close to the start and finish and steps away from ocean and beach.

Had a wonderful stay here with an ocean view so close I could hear the waves crashing into the sand, and the beach is just a few steps away. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, easygoing too. The room was well furnished, in good condition overall. The sofa bed came in handy as a makeshift sleeping area for our 5 month old. They have a well stocked breakfast grab and go and Starbucks coffee station, excellent way to start the day! We enjoyed our stay and we will stay again to enjoy even more of the amenities. This is not to say that there aren’t a few small things to work on… 1. The water flow from the bathroom sink faucet was super low, yet the pressure in the shower was aggressively strong. Both could use some adjusting. 2. The freezer had a rusted metal shelf and didn’t seem clean to use. 3. Parking within the property is limited, it is possible to get a spot as other guests check out, but I parked a little far away until a closer spot opened up, which was not that bad as it is a safe area, just something to be ready for. — that’s all I could find as issues, and the positive points definitely outnumber it. Overall a great establishment and worth the price.

We loved our stay at Ocean Palms! I came here for a trip with my sister and my nieces and we had a great time. We loved how close we were to the beach (like a 30 second walk). The pool and hot tub area was great and there were plenty of tables and chairs to eat meals outside. The staff was so kind and accommodating. Will absolutely be staying here again.
