The first time I stayed at Ocean Sky in August 2011 there was some construction being done. While that was not an ideal circumstance, I enjoyed my stay. I was given a superb rate and had a very satisfactory visit. When it came time to return to Florida from Feb. 7th to 12th 2012, I decided to return to Ocean... More

Great location at it very near to the main attractions of fort lauderdale, close to the I 95 for getting down to Miami up going further north. The staff were really friendly. The rooms were comfortable and had complimentary wifi. The rooms were well serviced and clean. Each room has a view of Ocean although overlook some neighboring condominiums. There... More

This place is great! Wonderful location right on the beach. Nice pool, hot hot tub. Our room was large, and the bed was new and very comfortable. Slept very well. Service in the lobby was excellent, very helpful. Everything was clean, worked well, no mildew. Even had a beach elevator, beach towels, no extra resort fee. Really couldn't say more.... More

On this site there are some spiteful reviews of this Hotel. They make it sound like a dog of a place. I have just completed a successful stay there January 2012 for 3 weeks. Plenty of time to make up my mind about the place especially as I stay in a lot of hotels. The staff are friendly and helpful... More

Bookit.com advertised this hotel as 3 1/2 stars. It's more like 2 stars or less! The pool, hot tub, and tiki bar were nice, and beach access was great too. Rooms were small, beds were extremely uncomfortable - mine was very saggy, and the hotel overall is in need of updating and repairs. And by repairs - I mean replacing... More

Stayed here pre cruise. The elevators didn't work, the jacuzzi didn't work, our coffee maker in our room didn't work. The staff upon arrival were rude. The food in their dining room was mediocre. The tub in our room was dirty. This was a last minute booking and only hotel in our price range available. Save your money! More

I greatly apologize that we fell short of your expectations. We are doing our utmost by reinvesting in our property and just finished a nice renovation. We also plan to continue to do so in the immediate and in the future so I urge all to try us. I am very proud of our property here. Thank you. Paul Cahaly... More

The hotel lobby is very nice, and appears to have been recently updated. The rooms and hallways are a bit dated. But, the location is what it's all about. Right on the beach! The pool, hottub, and Tiki bar are steps away from the beach. The rooms are clean and adequate with a small fridge and microwave. The balcony is... More

What a pleasant surprise! When we checked the reviews they were mixed,ranging from nostars (terrible) to 4 stars (very pleased) so we weren"t sure what to expect. Upon arrival the lobby impressed us with its lounge chairs and cheery appearance. The check-in was efficient and friendly. Our room was not made up yet and rather than keep us waiting the... More

We have never written a review but have read reviews submitted by others. We felt we needed to pass along our experience. We stayed at this hotel from December 28th to December 31, 2011. The desk staff were very helpful and knowlegable. The first room we had smelled musty and was in need of renovations. Upon us threatening to move... More
