As someone who has traveled quite a bit, I was very disppointed in my recent stay and felt it necessary to share my story. It seemed to be one thing after another over the course of 3 days. Arrival was lovely and I was placed in a lovely room; however I chose to move due to street noise. I was... More

Everything about this hotel was easy--getting a bellman, parking (valet or street), checking in, ordering food, swimming, sleeping comfortably. This small boutique hotel was well staffed with a hotel manager visibly present and everyone was on the ball without being over eager. Decor is fresh, extremely eclectic, in mostly ocean blues and greens. Linens and towels are high calibre (Frette,... More

I was looking forward to my stay on the beach. When I arrived to my room I was very disappointed. With the room being as expensive as it was I had very high expectations. The walls had mismatched paint from all the patchwork. I will post pictures. The quality of the restaurant was absolutely amazing. They did have great service... More

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Oceana. The staff is amazing and so thoughtful, and the rooms are lovely. We slept so comfortably, and were so appreciative when they upgraded us to a corner room with ocean views. The sheets are so comfortable! And the design is so fun and relaxing. We loved sitting out by... More

Other reviewers have said it well; Oceana feels like home. I was only there for an evening, sadly, and spent a lot of that evening away from my new "home away from home". However, when I came back after dinner and saw my room ready for turn down, I was touched that the maid had folded the clothes I had... More

Previously, I reviewed the Oceana as "home away from home." Home has been renovated, so it's now better than ever. The paint is fresh on the outside of the hotel, the restaurant has been updated, and the lobby has been reinvented. The new restaurant is excellent and the menu is superb.
