Overall, my stay was enjoyable with stunning ocean views and a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were nice, though they could use some more storage and amenities for a hotel at this price point. While the spa and pool facilities were highlights, the service fell short in a few areas that made it less than ideal for the price. But if you're looking for a serene escape by the ocean, this hotel has much to offer.

The Oak Bay Beach Hotel offers a lovely, secluded retreat with stunning ocean views, perfect for couples seeking relaxation. The mineral pools are a unique highlight, and the rooms are cozy and beautifully decorated. However, families with children might find the environment too quiet and not kid-friendly, especially with the pool restrictions. While the price reflects the quality, the dining could benefit from a larger menu selection.

I had an incredible experience at the hotel, especially with the luxurious ocean view room that made waking up feel like a dream. The dining options were excellent, and the mineral pool was a lovely treat, even in cooler weather. However, I did notice the pool area could use some more attention, as it felt a bit neglected at times. Overall, the service was top-notch, but the high price point might be something to consider if you're looking for a budget-friendly option.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The luxurious oceanfront setting was simply breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. The rooms were well-appointed with cozy gas fireplaces and large soaking tubs, perfect for relaxation. The spa services were top-notch and the dining experience was delightful. However, the view from our ocean view room was partially obstructed by a nearby apartment, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a memorable getaway!
