The room did not have curtains, only interior shutters that allowed a lot of light in at night. The mini fridge also puts off a lot of light since the entire door illuminates. The AC wasn't adjustable. The facility was new and well stocked, but these issues made it difficult to sleep and we left feeling drained.

The staff was nice but I was not aware that the hotel did not have an elevator my friend who has a brace on his leg who has knee problems made it very uncomfortable he had to walk up and down up down the steps. They did not have bottom levels available and when I went into the room the room did not have a microwave nor did the lobby. We had to eat out every single day the although cute was very small. I was charged double on Saturday to my surprise and no staff was able to explain I booked through Expedia they tried to get my refund back and considering I paid over 240 a night it was not worth the stay. The only up side was it was on the beach. One a scale to 1-10 I will give staff a 10 they were friendly but my stayed I rate a 6

Sweet little boutique hotel recently renovated with lots of high-end touches, pool, and direct beach access. No breakfast available, but a killer barista-quality coffee maker in the lobby when the lobby is open. Would suggest that maybe the coffee machine be put in a card access area for early risers seeking caffeine!! Outside of that...no complaints, and would highly recommend this lovely hotel!

I liked how close we are to beach. I don’t like how we had to wait until 5pm to get into our room. It was thundering and lightening so we were literally in the hallway for shelter. Also false advertising, there are no chairs to take on beach and no food market at hotel like it’s mentioned on website or welcome email. You have to rent your chairs through a service and it is not included. I thought the cleanliness of room was very good, unfortunately did see a roach on my pillow when I moved it in middle of the night. Overall very upset. As I have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant. There’s no bathroom to change or use bathroom until you go in your hotel room.

I loved the retro yet updated vibe of this newly renovated hotel. Classic, upscale elements - no kitsch. I stayed in a beautiful king room that had the shortest walk I have ever had to the beach - even for a beach front property. The pool has been refurbished and is amazingly clean. The pool area has white lounge chairs and blue and white beach towels are provided. It's a small hotel but I totally enjoyed not struggling to find a parking space or waiting for the elevator. This place screams boutique (fitness area and coffee bar in the lobby) and I will definitely be coming back to the Oceaneer!
