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.

On a budget
The hotel was great for being on somewhat of a budget. The rooms were clean and so was the hotel -the hallways needed an update more than anything they seemed outdated and gave a bad impression, so the rooms were actually a nice surprise after that. There are plenty of lounge chairs out by the pool and tiki bar but the nicer ones with umbrellas and anything on the beach had to be rented. The staff was great and super friendly. You can't beat the location, right on the beach and a $5 cab ride from a bunch of restaurant/bars

Q.W.
could have been better
this hotel i would have to say could have been a whole lot better for the locacation, the only upgrade was the tv. other then that the room was very dated the appliances look like they had been there 20years i was very disatisfied with the rooms. and not to mention there was a limit on the towels that they give you. also they didin't even give you real soap they gave you face soap? the only thing i was pleased with was both the hotel and transportation staff they were all excellent and the view you couldn't beat other then that i would not stay agian.

That will be $25 to sit in the chair
The location is the draw. A beach front location on the ocean is wonderful but be prepared to pay for everything else. Nothing is included with the room other than access to the beach, not parking, breakfast, or even the use of lounge chairs on or near the beach.

Spring vacation
We arrived after a long day of traveling and were pleasantly surprised! The staff was helpful, the room was super and we had a great view of the ocean! We were able to sit on the balcony, listen to the waves and relax for our first night away. The room was clean, the beach was easily accessible, the fitness room had convenient hours..it was definitely worth the money.

Lovely views right on the beach
This was a great vacation. We stayed in a standard room with two regular size beds. The room a pretty ordinary motel room with a microwave and small refrigerator. There was a free safe and free wireless internet. There was nothing wrong with the room, it just wasn't gorgeous and who cares about that when you have the beautiful ocean and great pool where we spent the majority of our time. The beds weren't wonderful, but they were fine. I liked the pillows. (2 regular ones and a body pillow) I always wish for a full size coffee pot, but there was only a small one. The room was clean and my only complaint is that the shower was weaker than I would have liked. The one thing I wish someone would have told me about was parking. All parking was $12.00 a day. (Which I thought was reasonable) Valet is $12, but you tip (of course). I thought all the parking was valet. I just didn't find out about the non-valet parking till the 3rd day. It was across a small street and we liked it because we needed the little walk.

OUR FAVORITE PLACE ON THE BEACH
The Galt Ocean Mile is mostly high rise condos on the beach - there are only 2 hotels on this special strip & we've been coming to the Ocean Sky for years. From there, you can walk to stores, food, and about a mile to Lauderdale by the Sea for evening dancing in the streets to a live band some nights. It is away from the main road ( 1A) & well lit with benches at night also for strolling. The hotel pool area is very nice-there is also a free bus that will take you in a few directions if you don't want to walk to shops. Casino is about 15 minutes away

Outdated Rooms
On the plus side, the tiki lounge and pool are are very nice. Being right on the beach was great for a morning run. However, the carpet, bed, A/C unit, and trim were fairly dated. The shower was old and only served up very hot water. The A/C unit made a knocking noise that made sleep a bit challenging. I could hear the neighboring guest's talk show on their TV and their persistent coughing through the wall.
