Tiki bar plus patio dining equals paradise

The Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort pitches the South Florida lifestyle ever so perfectly. From the sundeck and outdoor pool, guests fall for the ocean views and the poolside tiki bar. Inside, the tropical feel is never far behind. Rooms and suites capture local flair via landscape and coastal-themed artwork, plus balconies in some spaces that let in sea breezes.

Highlights
  • Beachfront hotel with heated outdoor pool
  • Indoor/outdoor restaurant and tiki bar
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Suites also available with kitchens, living and dining areas
Rooms

Tasteful furniture and a modern palette grounded in olive, yellow and brown lend subtle sophistication to the 225 rooms and 15 suites at the Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort. Cheerful artwork depicts tropical flora and fauna and nautical scenes. Balconies spoil with ocean views, while inside, guests unwind on chenille lounge chairs or king or double beds. Suites have added advantages like separate kitchens, living and dining spaces. Free Wi-Fi, cable TV, microwave and mini refrigerator are standard in every room.

Dining

A trip to Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort is not complete without a refreshing cocktail at the tiki bar or a leisurely meal at the on-site indoor and outdoor restaurant. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., the eatery treats diners to upscale casual fare and beach vistas through arched open-air windows.

Recreation

Lazy palms and bright blue beach chairs hug the heated oceanfront pool, which is gated for privacy. The brick sundeck also holds patio tables so Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort guests can enjoy alfresco dining. Thrill-seekers hit the nearby water sports business to rent jet skis, banana rides, snorkeling and scuba equipment, while on dry land, a game room and fitness center serve as backup plans.

Location Is Everything

We were very happy with the location of this resort. To be able to walk right onto the beach and not have to cross a busy road was a major plus. The hotel itself is a bit run down. It's decent, but not upscale. The water pressure and shower head were terrible. Paying for parking was a drag, but we had to pay to park everywhere in Fort Lauderdale. I would stay here again, if only because of the location. The staff was also friendly.

Awesome!!!

The staff was amazing. Except for the lady in the little shop in it. My boyfriend and I were in there buying towels and she was on her phone the entire time. Other than that, the staff was awesome, the room was awesome and we had a great time. There was a young valet worker when we were there and he could not have been any more nice. Awesome dude :)

great location for price

Great location! Beautiful pool & jacuzzi. Only downfall was air conditioner in room very noisy & we had to pay $12.00 a day for parking !!!! Half way thru vacation they advised that online we could have received a free gas card and welcome drinks if we booked thru them.

Good budget stay

A decent hotel with a pool. A direct access to the beach that is no worse than the four- and five-star hotels nearby.

Weekend getaway

Overall the it was a good stay for the price! The rooms were ok and the hotel was right on the beach. The lobby was much more updated then the rooms. The hotel was a good 20 minutes from where all the nightlife is so cabs can get pricey.

romantic couple getaway

good price for a hotel directly on the beach in this area..beach could be cleaner though, but overall great stay..also no resort fees, which was awesome because some resorts can charge up to $30/day in resort fees..

Enjoyed our stay

The hotel is convenient to the beach, grocery store, liquor store and local restaurants. The room was clean but the AC was not very cold. The pool area was nice, but food/beverage at the pool of course was over priced. The amenities were great though! We didnt even need to rent a car we had everything we needed within walking distance!
