Top Aptos Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good
"Clean, comfortable easy access location. 5 min walk to beach. 2 blocks. Directly Accross from Depot park where there is many soccer games. This is a great location to stay if you are doing the SC triathlons. Pool a bit cool and hot tub was comfortable but not hot. Jets in both hot tubs were not working. Pool area was clean and pool towels are provided. The in room shower was huge with two shower heads. Breakfast place across the street is yummy but cash only."

8/10 Good
"Nice room. Property beautifully landscaped. We opted for a discounted full breakfast rather than the continental breakfast included with the room. We were surprised by the very reasonable price. The only minus was a lack of blackout drapes on the windows. İ would absolutely stay here again and encourage family to dö so."
