Ocean Palm beach resort is an older resort but with close proximity to the beach, the village & walkable to shops & restaurants. The room we stayed is a 2 bedroom luxury suite. It has kitchen, cozy dining area, living room & 1 bathroom. The electric stove is functional enough to cook a descent meal (but no condiments or paper towel included). The bedroom have a nice view of the ocean, w/c is just across the street. The pool is clean but the sauna looks like need a little cleaning up. All in all it was a good 2 night stay. The hotel parking is limited but theres ample street paring & safe. Thanks to the manager in honoring my Expedia reservation, will definitely stay again.

Wonderful location in Carlsbad - within walking distance to all the places we wanted to go to shop, eat & hear live music, and a beautiful beach was just down the stairs. Nice pool & hot tub, torches, tiki lamps & gas fires at night make the place magical. Full kitchen, comfy room.
