Great Resort affiliated with Westin ... Accomodations were outstanding and golf was excellent. Resort had tennis and pickle ball and biking also. Food at the golf course restaurant and in pool area were excellent also. Fabulous Takeout Easter Dinner of Prime Rib and great sides like roasted potatoes brussel sprouts and caesar salad with key lime pie or cheesecake for dessert.

This was our 3rd stay at Ocean Palms. We rented this time. Prior to this, we had stayed on a time share exchange. There were 3 of us and the rest of our family stayed next door at another resort. Check in was quick and easy, although, when my husband asked what the resort fee covered, the clerk did not know. She did not inform us that two charges would show on our bank statement immediately, $125 and $75 for “authorization.” These were pending and dropped off several days later. The resort fee allows you to use the Westin Hotel pools and loungers at the pool, as well as charge food, drinks and services to your room. It does not allow you to park at the hotel. You must take the shuttle. The hotel and beach are exactly a half mile away. When we went to the beach, we preferred to drive with our beach gear, so we parked in the public metered lot at Islanders Beach. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath. The condo was very clean and well stocked and beds were very comfortable. It does need updating. Furniture is very dated as well as appliances. Appliances are in good working order, just a bit dated. Bathrooms were large and very nice. We did use the Westin spa and it is exceptional. We had breakfast two mornings, which were also really good. We tried to go to View 32 one evening but they could not accommodate our group of 9. The only real concern for us was not being able to park at the hotel since we like to bring our own chairs, umbrella and cooler to the beach. We would stay again because we like the location and we love Westin Hotel. However, since we had to use public parking for the beach and we didn’t use the shuttle or swimming pools at the Westin, we could basically go to eat and book to use the spa while staying at any other neighboring resort, which may be an option for us next visit.

“Ocean Palms Resort at Westin”

This is one of the nicer resorts available through RCI. A great location near the beach with trolley service to the beach and amentities at the Westin Resort avilable also. Only issue was the party renting above us had children who were very noisy.
