Located in the heart of idyllic Carlsbad Village, Ocean Palms Beach Resort embarked upon an expansive renovation program after the property came under new ownership in 2003. We hope you enjoy our new look and feel and the first class amenities we have added. The casual elegance of our comfortable and upscale room interiors was designed to reflect the cheerful and fun beachside setting of our village by the sea. more » « less

We had a guaranteed reservation for the two bedroom luxury suite and were given a studio instead. There was a problem with hot water all week during our stay and the maid said it had been an ongoing issue. Obviously they were aware of the problem before they put us in this room and they never fixed it. They said... more

The Ocean Palms is really shaping up to be one of the better properties in Carlsbad. Our family occupied half-a-dozen rooms for a wedding. Some of the rooms were recently renovated, some not yet. The renovated rooms, with granite counter-tops and stainless appliances in the kitchen, his & hers shower-heads in the travertine-tile shower, 5” baseboards and crown molding, brushed... more

I came in on a Friday night and booked a room for Saturday paid in full then left. I got a call from the front desk saying there was a problem and I may not have a room. They called back shortly and upgraded me at no extra cost. The room was beyond what I had expected. it was amazing... more

Well I have to say I really thought this was going to be the best vacation of the year. How sadly was I mistaken. When arriving at the Ocean Palms Beach Resort I was so happy to see what a beautiful place this was and directly across from the beach! The outside is great.....then I went into the front office... more

We have spent a lot of time looking for a hotel near or on the beach in the San Diego/Laguna area that is affordable and not $500 a night. We found the perfect accomodation at the Ocean Palms. Not only are we directly across from the beach, we were able to stay in a one bedroom suite with a kitchen... more

This was the worse place I have ever stayed at. My family and I came across this hotel while visiting Carlsbad, but I did see their Web Site, AAA approval and was gullible enough to believe it would be a good place to stay. We booked for two days in a two bedroom ‘Ocean View Bungalow’ and paid off season... more

My family stayed at Ocean Palms for a week and enjoyed the fact that it was so close to the beach, had a pool onsite, and a courtyard where many would gather in the evenings for a drink, to listen to music or play games. But unfortunately the rooms leave a lot to be desired. The room we stayed in... more

This place is the pits. For the astronomical money we are paying, NO coffee in the room. We had to buy it at their store! Then no filter in room! They brought us a commercial Bunn size for a household pot. No continemtal breakfast...even a roll and coffee would have been something! No complimentary coffee in lobby? Gimme a break.... more
