I'm sitting in my room at the Ocean Sky Resort as I write this, sad because we are leaving in the morning. This has been a lovely vacation.

After reading so many bad reviews, I had hesitated before booking this hotel, but I decided to go with my own instincts and I wasn't sorry.

We've been here for a week, with two other couples and have enjoyed the stay enormously. Fourth of July weekend was busy here, but that was to be expected and didn't bother us.

The hotel is older but the rooms were satisfactory, the beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was great. Since the building faces sideways, you look at the ocean from your balcony by looking to the left...or the right. That's the reason for the open connecting balconies, so that every room can see the ocean. Privacy would be nice, but seeing the ocean is better.

I loved the amenities that this hotel had to offer for such a reasonable price. A pretty lobby, cute little gift shop, wonderful pool, big clean hot tub, nice tiki bar and very pleasant restaurant. The food was great, although slightly expensive. The bartenders were so friendly and efficient and so were the valet parking attendants. Having complimentary pool towels available was a great perk so that I didn't have to pack space filling towels in my suitcase. And did I mention that the location on the beach is perfect?

My only negative comment is that the wireless intenet connecion is iffy. It rather comes and goes. Other than that, I have no complaints at all and would happily recommend this to anyone who wants good value for their money.

Stayed at the hotel on my wedding night even after all the bad reviews. The hotel was an average hotel and did not disturb us from our peaceful stay. However, there was construction the second morning, but that was to be expected after reading all the latest reviews.

“Ocean Sky was awesome”

Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort

Jul 1, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We just spent four heavenly days at the Ocean Sky. The location is incredible! At the end of our hallway there was an elevator that led directly to the pool area. (that was terrific because we did not have to worry about walking through the hotel or lobby in our bathing suits and it was easy to take a quick break back to our room if desired) The pool was clean and warm. From the very large pool deck we overlooked the ocean. A few steps led to a clean beach with great water, shelling, etc. There were water sport rentals right there too.
We ate at the pool side restaurant and the food was good and not very expensive. The tiki bar however was a little pricy. We paid $9 for a pina colada.
The staff was very friendly, respectful and accomodating.
Our room was a standard size but it was clean and comfortable and we liked having a frig and microwave.
There were many restaurant and store choices within walking distance (try Greek Islands - it was awesome).

4/4 found this review helpful

My daughter and I spent the weekend at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised at the warmth of the staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and the BEACH!
As we were on a budget, the location of the hotel to restaurants, food shopping and souvenirs was a really nice perk. The restaurant and the bar were a little pricey, but we had other options which was nice.

“Great Hotel!!!!”

Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort

Jun 10, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

I wanted to share with everyone my experience at the Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort... I have read so many bad comments on this site about the Ocean Sky, and believe me, it was hard in the begining to make my reservations, because of the bad remarks, but I do not understand why so much negativity .I arrived May 15, 2008 For my husband's birthday mini vacation. I requested chocolates and and wine to be in the room before I arrived. At check in a young lady by the name of Cecilia, helped me with getting situated.

When I went upstairs to the room to my surprise aside from chocolates and wine we had a basket made by the hotel informing us, that we were selected as their special guest, and they wanted us to have a warm welcome.

I was facinated by their pool deck, it had a phenominal beach front view like you would not imagine. The service at the Tiki Bar was great. A young man by the name of Scott was so freindly and extremely helpful through out the entire stay.

I wanted to thank the entire staff on behalf of my husband, and of course myself for making my mini vacation an amazing trip.

Thanks,
Maybeline
