DK Eyewitness
"One of Santa Monica’s prettiest hotels, the Oceana has flirtatiously colorful decor reminiscent of the French Riviera. Many of the large suites have views of the ocean."

Gayot
"This is one of the area's best hotels, offering all the amenities, style and splendid service that are tradition at Four Seasons properties."
