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.

Not as clean

we found some stains on the bed, felt gross. The only reason we stayed is location. It is right at the beach, just perfect.

Great location

Great location in terms of being near a supermarket, take-out food, and right on the beach. There was construction on all of the balconies while we were there, so not only could nobody use their balcony, but there was also drilling from 9-5 daily. I had to call twice when drilling was still going on well after 5pm, but they were responsive to my calls and stopped shortly after. Only other complaint was that the bed was not comfortable, and the pillows were flat.

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

Buy a cheap beach chair at one of the discount stores on your first day and use it for your stay. Beach chairs were available for a $5 dollar fee each day.

Staff was great

All the balconies are still under costruction, so no rooms have out side access. Our room was ok, but the housekeeping staff did not have washcloths. For whatever reason they were out, every day. We maybe got 1 wash cloth a day for 2 people. The entire staff was great, especially the valet guys. I would stay again, when construction is complete. Still recommend updating the rooms a little better.

The Shining- DON'T STAY HERE!!

THIS HOTEL IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!! Hated our stay at Ocean Sky. The hotel reminded us of The Shining....We stayed there for 4 nights. First, there is a $10 per day parking charge that is NO WHERE listed on Orbitz. The rooms don't look like the photos on here, at least our room wasn't; It was old, smelled, & very dated! The so called partial ocean view was a joke, we had to look through the far corner of a very dirty window to catch a glimpse. The balcony's are off limits to guests!!So after being very annoyed & very upset, my husband went to the front desk to complain. She offered to move us to another room. So we went to look at it & it was nice, just like the pictures on here. Went back to the front desk to say OK, she then tells us it is an additional $100 per night!! The walls are paper thin, heard neighbors all night long & people in the hall ways. Fire alarm went off @3am Sunday night...Restaurant was empty every night & seemed too stuffy, (not casual), Tiki bar was deserted every night, so we ended up at the Tiki bar next door So needless to say I hated every part of this hotel stay!! FIND ANOTHER HOTEL~~

Sad use of a beautiful building

"Open air balconies" in add can not be accessed they are crumbeling, doors and windows won't open. Ocean view is through a small locked window. Many cleaning staff yet floors weren't vacuumed and previous occupant's wash rag and soap were still in the shower. Waited 7 hours to have the overflowing toilet, broken shower and coffee pot repaired. Never showed had to request a new room. No concern no apology. There is a definite lack of supervision of the staff and customer service.

PERFECT VIEW OF OCEAN

We love staying here b/c the pool is right off of the ocean so you can go back & forth between the pool & ocean all day long. Plus whenever you're just sitting & relaxing you have the beautiful view of the ocean. The concierge is very accomodating & the staff for the most part are very nice. Food/drink prices are a little high. Main complaint this time was the balconies were all closed for renovations.
