From the reviews

We had such a wonderful stay at the Oceana Hotel! The location is perfect — centrally located to everything, which made it so easy to get around. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and very well kept, giving such a peaceful and relaxing vibe.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Aug 2025

Excellent service and a great location made this stay very enjoyable. The staff were professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout, and the property is conveniently situated for getting around the area. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is the room condition.

★★★★☆ — Richard, Apr 2026

From the moment you walk in, you were greeted with warm hospitality and authentic care, always feeling like you are out of five star hotel. Surifel was our first interaction and it was stellar. He continued to make sure we knew that he was happy to accommodate anything we needed throughout our time.

★★★★★ — Danielle, Feb 2026

Oceana is a beautifully appointed hotel with attentive, friendly and available staff - they strive for service excellence. The pool is well maintained and at the center of the hotel.

Getting married at Oceana Santa Monica, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
