My stay at Oceana Santa Monica was a mix of luxury and some frustrations. The rooms are spacious and beautifully renovated, and the location is perfect for beach access and local dining. However, the service was inconsistent, particularly with the slow responses to requests and concerns about safety for my kids. Overall, while the experience had its highlights, it didn’t fully meet the high expectations set by its five-star label.

I had an amazing time at Oceana Santa Monica! The location was unbeatable, just steps from the beach, with stunning views and access to great local shops and restaurants. The staff provided lovely service, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. While the restaurant's prices were a bit steep, the food was great. Overall, it was a good stay, but some additional countertop space in the room would have made it perfect.
