iPads and Toasted Marshmallow Rum Shakes: What More Could You Want?
A few months ago there was some concern about the pool scene at a new Hollywood hotel--the concern being that guests weren't always given priority access to the pool. Kinda shocking when you're paying close to $400 a night. But the boisterous party pool scene has become a bit...

Partner Reviews: Oceana Santa Monica Hotel
-
Cute waitress is mayor. -
The staff are great! Very informative and helpful. On top of that the hotel is beautiful and very clean. Wifi, breakfast buffet, heated pool, valet service, etc -
Go have cocktails in the lounge. Tell them what you like and they will make you something delicious. -
Hang at the Fire place. And order some champagne. Now ya livin'! -
-
Try a hum & Soda by the pool, 70 proof Rhum infused with spices and fair trade hibiscus -
Egyptian-cotton linens + blackout curtains FTW. Killer outdoor space, too! Lounge by the pool during the day and cozy up to the outdoor fireplace (with a cocktail) at night. -
Great mixed drinks in the lounge. Tell them your liquor and they'll mix you a good one. -
Go to the hotel lounge Hideaway anytime! Amazing European-style buffet, fantastic Italian dishes served family-style and refreshing cocktails! Open 7am-Late 365 days/year -
Love love love the lounge! Just moved in around the corner and will be frequenting often!! -
Amazing cocktails! Try the Lavender Gimlet!
-
Order the spirituous shakes. Rum. Vodka. And surprises. Who knew the missing ingredient to heaven in a cup could be any combo of coconut milk, strawberries, and toasted marshmallows?! -
Staff is wonderful. We left the Shangri La when they couldn't give us our room after a x-country trip and waiting 2 hrs. Oceana got us a room, place is beaut, much less pretentious -
Try the Matt Moore, it is delicious! -
The hotel has beach cruisers available 2 use. Free for 2 hrs, then a small charge. Take advantage of the ride and hit the bike path along the beach. -
Can't wait for summer to come full circle so I can lounge at this hotel's pool ALL day and slowly fade away into St. Germains. -
Open Apple Wireless network on southeast corner works better than hotel. Also, sleeper HOSM SE2 is good.
A relaxing weekend at the Oceana hotel
My Husband & I spent the weekend in Oceana Santa Monica and we enjoyed it very much! The hotel is located right by the beach and the boardwalk. Excellent restaurants, lots of shops, activities, and a very friendly staff. The rooms were beautiful and the view is stunning! The perfect place for a romantic weekend! The pool has a sitting area and a fireplace. I really liked the design of the rooms, lobby & pool. We both agreed that this is the perfect place for a romantic weekend! We enjoyed our stay and looking forward to our next visit to the hotel.
Amazing Hotel - Loved it!
The room was gorgeous with a view of the ocean. We got room service our first night and it was better than we expected Super comfortable bed, luxe linens, tv was great. We loved everything about the place and the staff was fantastic and very helpful. I definitely would recommend to anyone who wants luxury by the sea. My husband and I went for an anniversary treat and were treated like royalty.
Clean
one of the cleanest hotels ive ever been to.. i even did a black light test on it and it was spotless!
Best Hotel In Santa Monica and Los Angeles
The hotel is beautiful with bright colors and a very friendly staff. I stayed here for a week and it is close to many things to do but away from the congestion of the busy parts of Santa Monica. The food at the hotel is delicious and so is the morning coffee. The rooms are very comfortable with lots of high tech touches. I highly recommend the Oceana.
Great staff, above average food, ULTIMATE decor
Let me preface this by saying that I'm only going to comment on the restaurant at the Oceana (although the hotel itself is remarkable). You need to be a VIP, famous or super-rich just to dine there. At entrance, you feel like your just walking into a lounge by the pool, greeted by super-friendly staff. I have been up and down Ventura blvd. with 5 star recommendations for restaurants, and I've had abysmal experiences from them. This place is the real deal. Especially and SURPRISINGLY run by a very young staff including the executive chef, Jeff, who prepared a meal for us that rivals any top LA restaurant. Drinks...including SIGNATURE drinks.... Amazing. From the bartender Miguel. My advise. Book a room for the ambiance. Stay for the restaurant.
