It's sometimes not easy to find a "nice" place to stay when traveling with dogs - 2 of them to be exact. However, this time we hit the jackpot! Not only was Miles (at the front desk) helpful and friendly, but upgraded us from an 'old' studio to a 'new' one bedroom suite. They make you feel right at home.... More

My first stay at this resort (May 9th - 14th) and accommodations are better than any other I've experienced in Carlsbad. Was upgraded from a studio to a 1-bedroom (thank you, Todd!) with nice kitchen, modern bathroom, very comfortable king-size bed and nice linens. Let the sound of the ocean waves lull you to sleep. Nice patio with table and... More

This place is super fun. They have tiki gods carved into the palm trees. Many of the rooms have been recently (and tastefully) renovated and have full kitchens and are very comfortable and clean. And THEY ALLOW DOGS! There is a nice little pool and hot tub, and lots of outdoor seating areas and grills. There are gas fire pits... More

Returned to Ocean Palms to only find more improvements than the last stay. The new rooms are perfect! You cannot beat fully renovated accommodations with full kitchens. The landscaping is lush with tiki palms and includes fire pits to enjoy. The property location is two blocks from the train and bus depot, right across from the beach. Parking is understandably...

Stayed here for my friends 50th Birthday. We had a great time. Having a kitchen was the best. Able to make drinks and appetizers made it so much more relaxing. Walking distance from the shops and restaurants was convienent. Hope to go back for a weekend with my Hubby.

This is a great location but the only good thing about our room was the bed. My husband would not walk on the carpet without his flip flops. The notices from the outside come right in. No hair dryer. And the bathroom included its own plunger...what does that say. Just checked out the rest of the hotel which was renovated.... More

I first visited Ocean Palms Beach Resort in the 80's with some family friends who vacationed there. I was sold and brought my children there every year while they were growing up. They are now 33 and 34. I am now bringing my grandchildren there every year. My husband and I have also gone alone without the children. It is... More

After a short stay in 1981 I fell in love with the location, peace, sounds and smells of, at that time Ocean Manor. The following year, 1982, we brought my mom, the kids and grandchildren. The tradition of an annual family vacation in Carlsbad, specifically Ocean Palms Beach Resort, has continued to 2013. The family has increased with the addition... More
