The hotel was amazing, especially for the price! Beach front with plenty of room to relax by the pool as well. No need for beach towels, they provide their own! Tiki bar as well as their Rumors Lounge had great nightlife on location. Rooms were cleaned well daily and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The room and hotel was also recently renovated! Definitely would recommend!

My husband and I just got back from staying here from 7/20/07-7/25/07........We came in late due to flight delays and got a room that faced another hotel....Not what we paid for and the night clerk said to check with them in the morning....We did that and got switch to Room 418....This had a side ocean view and also overlooked the pool.....The room was somewhat updated and we did have hot water....The room was cleaned everday and had no problems.....The door was the only bad thing .....It could have easily been kicked it.....The hallways were musty and old looking ,,,,,,,,,,,,BEACH WAS GREAT AND SO WAS POOL.... The valet parking and resort fee was a rip off but with what we paid for the rooms and our flight on Skybus....What do you expect..If you want the Ritz Carlton......Go stay there..............Not bad at all!!

If we had not booked this as a package deal we would have walked out!!
Where to begin? First off, parking is mandatory valet unless you want to park your car and walk the family across a busy street.
Next your in for a treat, you get charged a $5/day "resort" fee that is also mandatory. This is supposed to cover valet and towel along with other "amenities" . Please.
Then, the room we thought we had was not right but we could "upgrade" for a fee. That is if you could call it a room, the bathroom door was literally a shower curtain and the room door could have been forced open by my 6 year old. The poorly installed laminate floor was already buckling from water damage and the a/c unit leaked water all over.
The beach was even better, they were out of towels 2/3 of the time and were told by the front desk that the solution was for us to get out there earlier. What?
Thats just the beginning. Look, I am a Firefighter from MPLS and went there with my family. We do not have high standards, we just wanted a fair vacation and this place was a sorry disappointment. Take your money elsewhere and save yourself the disappointment.

The Ocean Manor was a run down hotel with elevators the size
of a postage stamp. Our condo, which we rented from the owner,
was unclean and disappointing. When we called him, he cared
less, unit 819. The resort itself does not allow coolers or drinks of your own AT ALL on the beach or in the pool area, which you pass through to go to the beach.
They even have a security guard watching for anyone with coolers or carrying a drink not purchased from the tiki hut, no matter how you disguise them. The staff outside will stop you also. The tiki hut was OK, but do not order the mahi mahi fingers, they made my husband very ill for two days of our vacation.
