I liked it was on the beach and close to everything. The pool was closed during my stay because it needed to get inspected which was a big bummer.

I HATE staying in hotels and it takes a lot for me to not think the room is "disgusting' or "gross" and The Oceaneer was none of these things. The room and bathroom were spotless and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The hotel was exactly what I needed for a solo, relaxing trip on Christmas Day. It was clean and gave luxury but affordable vibes. The staff was very nice and accommodating as well. I give it a 10/10.

The renovation on this hotel is awesome. The rooms are spacious and the vibe is beachy chic. Beach access is steps away and there are plenty of spots to enjoy the view.
