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.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

This place is a joke! I don't know what rooms they show in the pictures but they are nothing like them. Also you must pay 10$ a night to even park. Rooms are cramped, water pressure isnt enough to get shampoo out of your hair. I would compare this to a motel 6 at best.

STAFF OF LIARS & THIEVES! BEWARE!

The hotel itself was nice & right on the beach as promised. However, it was miles away from shopping, nightlife, any real activities whatsoever. The rooms were DECENT, a little old and broken down but the balconies were a nice surprise. BEWARE OF THE HOTEL STAFF. THERE IS A LOT OF SHADY BUSINESS GOING ON IN THIS PLACE.FIRST OF ALL, WE PAID [$] CASH EACH NIGHT TO THE PARKING ATTENDANT AND UPON CHECK OUT WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL [$] PER NIGHT BECAUSE THE ATTENDANTS TAKING OUR MONEY SIMPLY CONSIDERED IT A TIP TO THEMSELVES AND NEVER REGISTERED THAT WE WERE PAYING. THE MANAGER AND FRONT DESK WERE EXTREMELY RUDE AND DID NOT HELP AT ALL, THE DISGUSTING PARKING "MANAGER" KEPT REFERRING TO ME AS BABY AND TRYING TO DEMEAN ME WHILE TELLING ME I HAD TO PAY DOUBLE BECAUSE HIS STAFF SAID "NO ONE PAID CASH" *side note, while we were having this payment issue at the front desk there was a line of 5-6 other guests also arguing over being charged for things they did not order or use, or simply over charged on bills. The hotel staff claimed they needed to do "full investigations" and that in order to check out they charged your credit card for whatever they pleased and then would possibly refund it upon completion of the investigation. B-S!!!!!!!Lastly, do not consider yourself safe in this hotel. We locked ourselves out of the room twice and 2 different housekeepers let us in our room by taking a random room card and spraying windex all over it, which apparently gives the card the ability to grant access to any room. Aside from the shady way of opening the door, they did not even ask us our name before letting us right into the room. very strange considering we had never seen either of them before. Overall, this was a terrible experience and i would never return to this hotel or reccommend it to even my worst enemies. If you enjoy being robbed and having no privacy or customer service then this is the place for you, if not then STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE OCEAN SKY HOTEL & RESORT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hotel Very Outdated!

Lobby was nice looking but once you got in the elevator and up to your floor things change drastically! The rooms were very small; carpets were torn and soiled. Bed was comfortable but pillows were foam and not very good at all; only 3 for a king size bed. Pool area was nice as was the beach. Location was good as well. Valet service was excellent; very nice staff as well. All in all it was just OK; I guess you get what you pay for!

Beach Chairs should be free to guests

Overall it was good, what i did not understand was that I took my Camera, and accessories to the Beach, and could not rest it down anywhere as a Chair is $35.00. Provide a table or something for Guests only, or simply remove that charge for Chairs. Innocent (That's what his native name means)The Haitian Waiter is a credit to your Service.
