Top hotels in Ocean Beach
Ocean Beach Hotel
Everyone was very nice. Nice store by reception for snacks. Partial ocean view wasn’t great since the bed was so close to the window, there wasn’t a screen and people walked right by your bed. Toilet is practically touching the sink.

Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Paradise Point is a very nice, clean, property. The staff are all very helpful. There are lots of things to do on site and the restaurants are excellent. Nice beaches you can walk to and plenty of scenery without ever leaving the resort. Would definitely stay here again.
