Great location
Guests love Ocean Palms Beach Resort's location. It's right near the beach which is a few steps away across the street. It's also a relatively quiet area with little traffic and there are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance so there's plenty to do after a day on the beach.

Free use of chairs and beach towels
Guests appreciate being able to use beach equipment for free during their stay. The hotel provides surf and boogie boards, beach towels, umbrellas and beach chairs which all help guests make the most of their day on the beach. One word of advice though, since this is such a popular scheme, items can run out fairly quickly, so it's best to secure your equipment as early as possible in the day to avoid disappointment.
