Ocean Pacific Lodge

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Stay was only one night. 3 adults and 4 kids so we did get two rooms. Would’ve like the two rooms to be conjoined but I probably should have requested that at the front desk instead of assuming the rooms would be conjoined. Rooms were close to each other either way. Kids enjoyed the pool and the adults appreciated that a room key card was needed to get into the pool. Overall the rooms were clean I would say just a bit outdated but doable especially for the price."
