Very cool spot. Couldn’t really be much closer to the beach and awesome cozy beach vibes. Rooms are pretty small and simple, no closet in mine, but they make up for it with ambiance and great grounds. Free towels and beach chairs to head down to the beach which was nice. Continental breakfast is really just coffee with some fruit/pastries but lots of good restaurants within a block walk.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Palms Beach Resort! The property was well maintained and clean! The ambiance in the evening was great; the tiki torches and fire pits gave a Polynesian feel! The very close proximity to the beach is a highlight as well! We are already planning our next stay at the Ocean Palms Beach Resort!!
