NICE LOCATION. Terrible management; front desk people were rude, did not care, poorly informed about the Resort. Too bad because the location is excellent. Would not recommend it to anyone.

After 15 years I'm Back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/09
For Mother's Day I treated myself and family to a night at the Ocean Palms. Returning after fifteen years, now with grandchildren, I still love the value and location of this nostalgic resort but was very disappointed at the 4pm check in time. Also found the desk clerks were too comfortable to make promises they could not keep only to ...

Hawaii but cheaper!!! Ocean palms A+
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/28/08
Basically, this place kicks ass. Perfect for a weekend getaway with the wife, or a family vacation. The remodeled rooms are awesome and better than any room Ive stayed in Vegas. The old rooms, well, they are old, but thats why they are way cheaper I guess. Steps from the beach, firepits, BBQs, pool, jacuzzi, and of course the partying downtown. We ...

It has lost it's charm...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/01/08
The Ocean Palms Resort has a great location. The beach is just across the street and you can hear the surf at night. But, this would be a great place for an actual resort. I think OP is resting an old reputation. Me and my family have been going to the Ocean Palms for the past 8 years. My husband and I stayed there for a weekend recently. We ...

I miss the old days...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/04/07
I am in the area at least 12 weeks out of the year for business and Ocean Palms felt like home. Now I am a stranger and when I called to book a romantic weekend with my husband, they did not care.

this place isnt 4 stars
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/11/07
They show these nice beautiful rooms on their web site,well thats not what they all look like we stay in a 2 bedroom oh my it smelled like meldew,the carpet was so old,bathrooms had room to just stand up no bending, the kithen we were afraid to cook when we turned on the stove it started sparking. The front desk people are so rude. This place should be shut down.
I didn't even stay there yet. Made a reservation and had to cancel the next day. I have been charged $307 and cannot get them to refund my card. I have been given the complete run around and am going to make sure no one I know ever stays there. I know a lot of Marines at Camp Pendleton and families in the area, we will get the word around.

Our favorite spot is gone--will go elsewhere
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/19/07
We've been going for 10 years and while a remodel/higher prices were inevitible for such an incredibly sweet spot, it's not worth the money now. Some of the remodel elements are cool (palm tree carvings, nicer BBQ area). Yet it all has the feel of an expensive vanity project at the expense of my wallet (the cars on display had a nicer set ...
