Marriott’s Oceana Palms

I always stay at a Marriott. This place was fabulous and clean the staff was amazing, I recommend staying at this place… Family friendly

The hotel itself is located in a perfect spot. Beachfront & just minutes from downtown west palm beach. The staff is very welcoming and professional. The rooms are clean and spacious. I stayed in an oceanfront 2 bedroom villa and it was amazing! The views are spectacular! I love that it came equipped with a full kitchen, and washer/​dryer. Overall, amazing weekend! Would definitely stay here again & I highly recommend this place!

This is our second time staying here, and we came back because we love the location and the property so much
The first time we came there was only one building and there was a lot of construction going on for the second building
But now that the second building is completed and this place is beautiful
There are lots of people around (not too many) so now the place is much more lively
There a lot of activities to do and of course the beach and pool are right here too
The view of the beach here is just amazing. The water is always relatively calm do to A barrier reef out in the ocean. The beach water is always crystal clear. And is usually nice and warm too
They have a poolside bar/​restaurant that has a very generous happy hour a couple times a day, and it serves like food, great for snacks and lunches and quick dinners
There are two pools and two Hot tubs (One is a little cooler to accommodate younger kids, and the other is for adults).
We have a two bedroom unit and it is gorgeous. Master bedroom has a king size bed and a huge bathroom with a 6 – 8 headed shower. Amazing shower
It has a living room with a dining room table that seats six and a full kitchen including an oven
It also has a washer and dryer
The second bedroom has two queen beds with its own bathroom and shower/​tub
The first night our shower didn’t drain very well, so we called and maintenance was there in a jiffy. After that, the shower drained pretty well
The housekeeping staff forgot to leave us oven mitts, but I asked the front desk on the second day and they brought them right up
The housekeeping staff forgot to leave cream for the coffee (they provide free coffee for the coffee maker in the room) but I went to the marketplace downstairs where they sell Starbucks and asked for some cream and the employee there was so generous– she poured me about half a cup of cream into a to-​go cup and told me to enjoy
The marketplace also provides free ice for your cooler when heading to the beach
We cooked steaks on the grill one night. (They have complementary gas grills you can use on a first come first serve basis) while I was in the room preparing the salad and baked potatoes. Amazing dinner
We have enjoyed making a huge breakfast including mimosas in our room, making brownies at night for snacks in our room, and eating lunch in our room every day thanks to food we purchased at Publix down the road
I really just love this place and we have already booked to come back again

I would have given a five star rating if this timeshare were not situated in a area that was surrounded by mostly undesirable elements (Criminal). Less than a block away was a public park/​beach south of the timeshare and the first night there we ventured out for a walk and walked right into what appeared to be a riot starting to form, within seconds we were surrounded by 5 police cars and countless police officers controlling the picnic area of groups of people having picnics that were loud/​drunk/​dirty litter all over the grounds and trying to abuse the officers who were quietly trying to control the situation and this was the weekend before the Memorial Day Holiday so we no longer went in that direction as it appears that this scene went on every weekend. If you went north from the hotel it was a much better area. In the past couple of years I have visited the east coast and this beach was one of the most beautiful beaches I have had the opportunity to visit. If you are looking to stay in a beautiful timeshare and limit yourself to the resort and their beach this is a wonderful place to stay. I would like to mention that Marriott does make sure they keep you busy with wonderful activities and a great area in the hotel for it with an open gas fire pit/​beautiful waterfall and musical bands to entertain yourself either for a quiet evening or a most celebrated one. I give Marriott an excellent but the area not so much. Many people said that Publix was just over the bridge… I’m sorry but I live in Florida and I have never seen a Publix that looked like that one and it just so happens to be in that undesirable area? For my shopping needs I would recommend do not go back over that bridge but continue north on 1A1 north 5 more minutes to Rte. 1 to the beautiful Publix at Palm Beach Garden. For all the health conscience people right next door is a market called «Whole Foods Market» and up and down the road are all your favorite stores/​malls/​restaurants. Our stay at this Marriott was wonderful and I would recommend it highly and would most definitely stay again.

Very nice condo type of resort. We had a 2 bedroom unit that has a common area in between. The common area has a decently equipped kitchen, a big table that seats six and then the living area.
The first bedroom has 2 queens with an attached bathroom that serves as the bathroom for the common area.
The other bedroom is the master. The one thing that really sets the master off is the bathroom. In particular, the shower is tremendous. The shower is the size of some of the hotel rooms that I’ve stayed in in Manhattan. Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration but the shower is huge. It has multiple heads plus a second control for a hand held wand.
On to the resort. They do a great job of trying to keep all ages entertained. They have something going just about every hour. This place is located right on the beach. So easy to get out and catch some waves. The Marriott provides chairs, but they don’t provide umbrellas. There is a separate company that operates there that you can rent from. It is pretty entertaining to watch them close up at the end of the day as the gentlemen are carrying multiple and I mean multiple chairs or umbrellas at any given time.
A few negatives… First is that the dining choices are quite limited. You’ve got the pool bar with its’ menu and then a café to take out. I would like to see some other choices without having to travel. Prices of these places are a bit much but in line with what you’d expect at a resort. Good thing that there is a Publix just down the road and over the bridge.
The pool or should I say pools as they have 2 are a bit boring. There are some splash items on the one pool for the kids but there is no wow factor with them.
The other issue was that one of the pool help picked up one of the towels belonging to our group. Unfortunately one of the cell phones was in the towel and came crashing down on the floor causing the screen to break. The staff seemed worried but ultimately they did nothing about it. That is kind of disappointing especially when I mentioned it again at checkout. Minimally, I would have expected them to offer something, even points.
Regardless of the misfortunes, this was a really nice place to stay. Right on the beach.

Stayed here two nights, in the Sunrise building, 15^th floor. WOW, what a location & what views. Spend hours out on the patio just watching the ocean. Easy check-​in; Easy free parking; beautiful 2 bedroom unit; very comfortable. Publix grocery store just up the road. Highly recommend; will be back I hope!

Great place with great views! Loved it. Like the higher floor views. Service was good, very clean place and staff was friendly.

The unit is pretty nice and everything was fine right up to the point where the timeshare sales lady said we could stay another night if necessary due to a snowstorm up north! We changed our flights and got back to her in less than a half hour… Oops! «Sorry, can’t stay in your unit and no other rooms.» Made no effort to help us out at all! Come on! This is a Marriott! Not one stinkin unit in this huge place or down the road?! This was at your suggestion!
So now we have to move out of our unit, drive 40 mins away to a cheesy hotel. Great end to a birthday vacation :-(…Thanks Marriott for the great (NOT) customer service!

Shower in the master bedroom is exquisite. Great beach as well. Staff is very friendly. Only exception was some rude pool employee arguing about not letting my kids in the hot tub. The sign does say «no children under 12 allowed», but it is clearly a typo, Florida regulations state that «no children under 12 allowed without adult supervision». No common sense here. Manager was just as inflexible and lacking of any common sense. After I was chased out of the spa with my two kids here didn’t seem to be any enthusiasm enforcing the rule. So thanks Marriott, my kids were able to look on while other kids enjoyed the hot tub all day long.

Everything was exceptional! Beautiful hotel, well maintained. Reasonable bar prices. Nice staff. Just a good spot for an easy, no hassle beach vacation!

Love singer island! Love this resort. The villas have everything you need. The staff are amazing. Our family truly enjoyed this experience. This was one of the most amazing marriott vacation club’ we have visited. Perfect in every way! We will be back

Loved Singer Island! I was a little skeptical about coming to Florida in July but was surprisingly shocked at how nice the weather was. The temperatures were in the high 80’s to low 90’s. There is not a ton to do on Singer Island but you can easily drive off the island for shopping, dining and activities.
The staff at Oceana Palms were very friendly. Anytime I walked through the lobby they went out of their was to greet you. The hotel is very clean and their is staff going around cleaning all the time. The pool is nice but for the amount of rooms at the resort it is a little small. I did like the fact that they had signs at the pool stating chairs could not be saved and if after 45 minutes of no use they can remove your items. We did not spend a lot of time at the pool but, whenever I walked through chairs were available. The resort had free chairs for use on the beach but they had to be kept toward the back of the beach. We opted to rent an umbrella and 2 chairs which cost $ 30 per day. If you swim straight out in the ocean about 100 feet right in front of the resort their is an amazing reef —great for snorkeling.
We were in a 2 bedroom Oceanview room. It is pretty standard Marriott Vacation Club room. The master bathroom was bigger than most however the water pressure was very low which was disappointing.
The exercise room was very spacious with treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, free weights and an assortment of Nautilus machines. They also had an exercise room where classes are offered. Tons of activities for kids such as pool table, ping pong tables, corn hole and outdoor play area. I would definitely go back!

Such a shame at this beautiful property that kids are not allowed to bring boogie boards in the pool but adults are. Also kids 11 and under are not allowed in the hot tub. That should be a decision left to the parents not the management of the resort. Fix these things and this review will turn into 5 stars

Amazingly spacious, clean, and beautiful 2 bedroom villa suite. We stayed at an ocean front view suite. The width of the balcony is the same length as the suite. The pools are conveniently located, and only a short distance from the ocean. The parking spaces appear are near an elevator that takes you to your room floor. This hotel is a must stay if you are visiting the West Palm Beach, FL area.

Truly a «meh» experience. As an owner of multiple Marriott timeshares for over a decade, I found this to be one of the most mediocre properties I’ve ever stayed at.
The positives first:
Rooms were clean and well stocked. Kitchen had all necessary appliances. Furniture was in good condition. Most of the staff was pleasant and responsive.
Negatives:
Food at the restaurant was below average and service was very slow. The bartender — Nelson — seemed put upon to have to take orders.
Alcoholic beverages — the alcohol content seemed very weak to me. I had a Pina Colada and asked the bartender if there was any alcohol in it. He got an uncomfortable look and told me that the rum was a milder, coconut rum. Really? Sounds like nonsense to me.
Internet — The Internet service is weak, disconnects regularly and also logs you out every few hours. Never been to a hotel that logged you out every few hours. While the service is free, a service that is weak or not accessible is useless. I called the Front desk to ask them to fix it and their response was that I should call AT&T — the provider. I advised that young lady that since they chose AT&T as the provider, they needed to call. Since I run a virtual business, and am on the Internet everywhere I go, I know when the problem is not mine. She did not seem enthused to be told it was her problem.
Front desk — I asked about checkout time and was told it was 10am. As a preferred Marriott customer I would have hoped for a little later time. I asked if an 11am check out was available and the woman said she would have to check with management and call me back. The manager doesn’t allow front line workers to make decisions?
In short, while a nice beachfront property, if you have other choices, or other places to use your Marriott timeshare points, I would go elsewhere.
Because there is a bit of an attitude permeating some of the staff, it seems likely that the problem is a weak General Manager. Have to say it is the worst of any of the 15+ Marriott Timeshare properties I have been to. I only came here because I had some points to use up by the end of the year and this was the only Marriott property I could find in a 4 hour drive, that had availability. Now I know why.

I love the Oceana Palms! This is the 3^rd year in a row that a group of girlfriends head over there for a girls weekend. The accommodations are fabulous! We have stayed in both the oceanfront and oceanview accommodations. Everything is spotless and perfectly maintained. The beach is gorgeous, silky sand & crystal clear water. There is NOTHING negative about this place!

This is yet another great Marriott location. The rooms are spacious and very updated. The pool is clean and nice and the beach is gorgeous. I am not giving it 5 stars because of a few things: There are very few locations to eat at within the grounds (only one in fact and the service is abhorrently slow), there are a plethora of children running around and having a splendid time (which is great for them, but not so much for us married folks without kids) and the bar closes at 9 pm. All in all its a pretty relaxing location and by far not one of the worst Marriott Vacation clubs we have stayed at. If there were more food and drinking options close by it would get that extra star!

Imagine how Willy Wonka felt when he walked in the Chocolate Factory for the first time or when Dorothy discovered the land of Oz. The hotel is not quite THAT magical but I booked my room, completely unaware that it was a 3 bedroom villa. It is a real disappointment that the trip was one night for business but also a real treat. Check out the photos I uploaded if you want a visual.
The rooms are very classy and the little details are sophisticated. From the kitchen counter tops to the wrap around balcony view, this is a place for anyone to enjoy. The king bedroom has a shower that can only be described as one of the best.
Another thing that I noticed is how clean it was. This is the hotel you want to bring cash to tip the housekeeper. It is spotless from top to bottom.
The pool is great but it does get crowded during peak hours and the chairs cannot be reserved. The beach is 10 steps away from the pool and is easy access. The pool bar is small but serves its purpose. There are plenty of private shaded areas to chill at. There are activities during the week and there is a teenage hangout as well as a kids lounge.
I love that they have a place to buy a full bottle of wine for under 15 bucks. There are also rotisserie chickens available. The restaurant onsite is casual with sandwiches, tacos and those sort of items. The menu also have a huge specialty drink list.
Locally, there are a few places to eat, museums and shopping hot spots but I’d strongly suggest finding your own transportation. Speaking of transportation, the garage is the one and only major complaint. The lot has very poor displays of where to go at check in, where its okay to walk and where the elevator is. I strongly suggest checking in before parking your car since there are two lots and two buildings where the rooms are.

Stayed in a two bedroom suite. The ocean views from the balcony were absolutely amazing! The hotel is very clean and staff is kind and helpful.
This hotel has access to a private beach and a pool downstairs. Be sure to stop by the poolside bar for happy hour from 4pm-​7pm.
The only downside is there isn’t much guest parking, unless you meet your guests downstairs and swipe them into the parking structure. Also, there’s no real night life within walking distance. But definitely an excellent place to stay if you are looking to just unwind and enjoy the beach.

Great location, new and beautiful. AWESOME 2 bedroom suites. Incredible views.
