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.

Review of Ocean Sky Resort

This was one of the greatest hotels I have stayed at in Ft. Lauderdale. From the desk staff to the maintenance crew, each person went out of their way to accommodate us. The rooms were neat and tidy and the foyer was well decorated. With only a few steps to the beach, one could not ask for better accommodations. We will definitely select this hotel again. We loved it!

Do not visit Miami on a Saturday or Sunday--you cannot find a parking space. I learned this from a few years ago. I went on a week day and it was not crowded and there were several parking spots.

Construction Sight

My stay at Ocean Sky hotel was horrible. A stack of papers were on the front desk when i checked in stating that some of the balconies were under construction. After reading the paper the attendant said all of the balconies were under construction. It didn't stop there. After waking up to men doing construction on the balcony next to my window with a VERY LOUD DRILL, DID I SAY LOUD?, I had to spend the remainder of one of the two days I had on the phone with orbit to change my hotel. Even with these horrible conditions the hotel manager refused to give me credit for the first night. Ocean Sky was not concerned with the comfort and safety of the guess. There are plenty of other hotels in Ft. Lauderdale. Stay at Ocean Sky hotel at your own risk.

LOUD CONSTRUCTION!!!!

Flew from Michigan for a few days at the ocean. Was not told of the construction until the next day when I woke up to men on my balcony taking away all of the furniture. Next day the balcony was locked. After being told on the phone that they had no rooms on the other side of the building, I went to the lobby and magically they had one. Early morning loud construction sounds for the next 2 days. Cable TV went out on 2 days. Nice to be on the ocean with pool and hot tub but I went home unrefreshed and tired.

2 1/2 * at the beach

If you are looking for a 3 + ***, don't go there. It's really a 2 1/2 * on the rooms with nice lobby & front beach access. $ 10.00 daily valet parking, which is good. The walls are very thin & we could hear our next room neighbors. The beach access & pool are nice. Internet access was gone 1/2 of the time, the sink & tub got clogged so the had to come & repair. If you have kids they will like it.

Great location for the price

Needed a place for one night before going on a cruise. The Hotel was clean, pool area & bathrooms clean and best of all it's right on the beach. For the money it was a great location; close to airport & cruise terminals. There are a few shops and restaurants within walking distance. We were traveling with kids and spent all day in pool and on beach.

You Get what you pay for! Good Stay

Great Location for a family Getaway, Not such a good location if you want to go to the clubs, or 'Las Olas BLVD'. Beach was nice and clean, but very short (the sand was only about 25 feet, not a lot of room to lay out) There is a pool and jacuzzi and tiki bar on deck. Clean Clean Clean. Rooms where nice. Balcony's are connected,so you can basically go into your neighbors balcony if you wanted to. Nice Quiet Area. Very nice concierge(s). Is nicer than Ocean Manor next door, but the hotel on the other side looked nicer. Ocean Manor has the largest Tiki Bar in Ft Lauderdale on property. Staff were nice. Free Beach Towels were provided. It was a good time.

Next door, Tiki Bar in "OCEAN MANOR", largest tiki bar in fort lauderdale. good drinks, and food menu available. Stays open late. Good pricing. Ask concierge in Ocean Sky for a coupon for one free drink!.
