Ocean Palms Beach Resort

Liked: Everyone was extremely helpful.

Very good

Liked: Great location.
Disliked: A bit tight a room and parking was also a bit challenging.

Staycation

Liked: Great location and tropical landscaping. Room had most things you need except bottled water, a microwave or creamers for coffee in-room, however all were in the lobby/guest ‘canteen’ which was conveniently near our room. I was surprised to find there was a heated pool and hot tub, as our goal was beach time, riding bikes, and dining out in Carlsbad. The patio area with lots of seating and evening fire pits is nice too.
Disliked: Such a cute place but it’s a super noisy building with very thin walls/ceilings. It’s not that the streets are loud, it’s other guests just doing basic things and we were by the interior parking area. I sleep in earplugs and with closed windows. Even so, other guests start making tons of noise and banging around from 5am onward, someone literally banging on our ceiling on Sunday morning, maybe a kid with a hammer? Non-stop barking dog for 2 hours on Sat morning 7-9am. We got a dogsitter and left our dog at home. I’d never inconvenience an entire hotel to avoid paying a petsitter just to leave it barking when I went for breakfast. Bed mattress wasn’t as plush/pillowtop as most hotels. All in all, though, we had a lovely staycation, enjoyed the heated pool, and continental breakfast.

This resort was perfect for...

Liked: The location of this resort is absolutely perfect! It is close to the beach and great walking distance to Carlsbad Village. The “Luxury Mini Suite” was perfect for my family of 4. We did not eat in the suite but it did a have a small variety of cookware so you could if you wanted. The breakfast bars, fruit, and juices provided every morning were great. We also really enjoyed the coffee! Although we did not use this, it was nice knowing they had beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys you could use for the day. We did take advantage of the beach towels though. Overall this resort was perfect for my family. We definitely hope to be back.

Nice but expensive m.

Liked: The location and decorations around the property.
Disliked: The breakfast and sofa bed option as the second bed for our family of three.

Warm, bright and comfortable stopover...

Liked: Attractive, clean, cozy property with friendly staff, in the perfect location right across from the ocean. The freshly ground coffee & continental breakfast added a nice touch. The hotel was able to accommodate our early check-in request and the bed was very comfortable. There is no onsite restaurant but it’s walking distance to everything in Carlsbad village.
Disliked: The A/C was quite loud. Also some kids nearby were yelling and stomping around outside, but what can ya do, it is a popular family vacation area.
