Marriott's Oceana Palms

Not really a hotel - the property is 2 bedroom villas. We love it. Stock up the kitchen, or walk to various nearby restaurants. A great place to unwind and relax on a beach.

Love this place. Have been here before. Lovely accommodations with a beautiful ocean view. The weather has been chilly for Florida and the resort ramped up their activity schedule for the guests

One of our favorite properties; great Marriott team + location + property

January, 2026 Visit

We first visited, just the two of us, in Dec., 2024.

Soon my wonderful wife came down with our daughter and her friends visited for their Spring break, Mar., 2025.

Then the three of us visited in Jan., 2026.

We visited for six nights on this trip; after a longer-than-planned travel day (the airline routed us to the wintry north of Detroit in order to fly south… a nice compare-and-contrast we appreciated after-the-fact), we were pleased to meet Shawna in person; Shawna had been talking with my wife pre-arrival, and provided a de-stressing welcome.

For this trip, we rarely left the property, in most part because I worked most of the days, in the room (see below).

We did enjoy making food for ourselves in the room; there are two Publix, one just across the bridge and another just north, heading to Jupiter, maybe and extra 3 minutes further away.

We enjoyed food at Reflections, including:
- Sunday night special… ribs !! and a Miami Vice drink, while watching some of the football with the many other guests
- burgers for lunch, including the especially good Rodeo Burger - with cheese and bacon!!
- good drinks, with and without alcohol (alcohol-free pina coladas are good for any/all ages!)
- gluten free pizza and wings

The Activity Center offered 21 / blackjack, which was fun.

We enjoyed a bit of soccer on the turf field between buildings.

The hot tubs are nice, night and day

Fun on the beach, getting sun, building sand castles, and walking along and enjoying the surf.

The eastern-most point in Florida is about a quarter-mile to the left / north… you can see it from Oceana Palms once you know where to look… it is the one rocky outcropping that is present; just use a map on your app to confirm you are there… pretty neat!

We look forward to returning soon.

Working in the room

Part of the plan was for me to work most of the days, which was fine - the desk next to the bed is just right… has the power and the room has the wifi, and the desk, at least in our room, faces west and offers a great view, good for a brief mental break, and good for getting the eyes to focus further away than just the screen.

One of my fave Marriot Bonvoy vacation clubs! We will return. The facility is lovely and we had a renovated 2 bedroom with ocean views and a huge terrace! Twenty minutes to Palm Beach island is a bit of a bummer though, especially since the surrounding area is a ghetto once off Singer Island. Very few upscale restaurants or amenities (yoga, barre, nails, salons, cute lunch spots) are walkable. Even so, we would stay here again because the property is top notch. We met many experienced points people here who also said it is their favorite vacation club! We loved the steam room in the locker room and the adults only hot-tub.

We have stayed at more than one place on Singer Island. I'd choose this one. Now, the rooms are being redone, so, as with the other Vacation Clubs, we no longer like the beds. I did have the topper I bought for use in other Vacation Club properties on this trip, so that helped some. I DO like the redone rooms here more than the others. It reminded me of
Africa in some ways, and there was a lot of black and white, but I liked it. Personally, I'd lose the brass fish in the living room area -- less can be more. The lamps are good, though, the rug is better than the others, I liked the chairs, the shower has become HUGE. The balcony was wide and well-appointed. Parking is in a garage, paid, of course, but it is convenient and covered.
The staff is friendly. The kitchen is attractive. I do wish the Vacation Club properties had cheese graters but, with the bed changes, it's pretty much moot. There is a washer and a dryer, apartment size. Did no laundry, but they are there.
The weather did not cooperate on this leg of our trip, and ocean activities were discouraged. The surf was pretty rough. However, I did stop at the bar on the way back from the beach and am pleased to report that this guy had wine that was not in a can...could be the 7 years he said he spent in France.
I would stay here again...although I'd probably buy another foam mattress topper before I arrived.

Took a 4-night family vacation at Oceana Palms. This was an excellent vacation and the hotel was exactly what we were looking for. The room size was perfect with one bedroom with a king and the other with 2 queens, two full baths, and full kitchen.

Pros: Room was well kept and very clean, staff was amazing (Dilion at the front desk and CJ's classes were excellent), easy access to the pool and beach, easy to get chairs at both at any time (we were there the week before thanksgiving), easy in and out with car, excellent gym (well kept, clean, excellent equipment choices that were all working), the surrounding area is beautiful, etc.

Cons: Hot tubs need to be hotter (if this is my only con, they did really good)

We will return!

Positives:
- Huge balcony facing the sea
- Large, comfy rooms, good furniture, good beds
- Friendly staff (Aniss was very helpful, thanks!)
- Remote location, not too many people at the beach
Negatives:
- The hotel has no real restaurant or bar; the restaurant serves food "McDonalds-Style", definitely nothing fancy...
- There are not many alternatives in walking distance, if you are looking for a better restaurant
We would describe the hotel more like a luxury motel. Nevertheless, we would possibly come back, just for the sound of the ocean waves during the night.

spacious

We did not stay at the location but did attend our yearly Marriott Vacation Club meeting with updates to our club ownership at Ocean Palms. The entire staff provided great information while maintaining the Marriott spirit without any pressure to upgrade. The sales team are professional and friendly, answered all of our questions and provided updated information that will benefit us for years to come.

Beach view

Overall: The room was spacious with spectacular view of the ocean. Staff was very kind except one in the cafeteria that was a little bit rude .I reserved for 3 days , and the first day no one appears to do my room, no room services , out of that the experiences was fantastic !!!!!

Had a wonderful stay at this property! Every unit has a beautiful view! The staff is friendly and the property is well taken care of. The beach is beautiful and when you get tired of sand you can sit by the pool and listen to music. This is a great timeshare property. Andrea in sales can help you through the process to understand how you can be an owner . She is super friendly and easy to speak to. My family loves coming here. Thank you for another beautiful memory!

Proximity to thr beach and activities on the property

We had the ocean front vila amazing and beautiful especially the views Perfect! In my opinion I think that beach Amenities and parking should be free.. Overall the property is very nice and right on the beach. Big plus
