We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Palms Beach Resort! The property was well maintained and clean! The ambiance in the evening was great; the tiki torches and fire pits gave a Polynesian feel! The very close proximity to the beach is a highlight as well! We are already planning our next stay at the Ocean Palms Beach Resort!!
