This magnificently restored and exclusive colonial-style resort is a favorite to heads of state and celebrities such as John Travolta, Oprah Winfrey, Kirk Douglas, and Ronald Reagan, who prefer the Ocean Club for its serenity, beauty, and unparalleled service. Pampered service begins the moment you arrive at the Ocean Club. There is someone to open the door of your limo, someone to immediately take your luggage, someone to take your drink order, and someone to direct you to your room. The constant attention makes you feel like royalty.
The hotel offers fifty-nine rooms that vary in size from a suite to a two-bedroom villa. The rooms reflect European elegance with carefully reproduced antique furnishings, chintz fabrics, hand-painted stenciling, and ceiling fans. Spacious balconies afford a view of either the ocean or the vast gardens. Other amenities include large all-marble bathrooms, a twenty-seven-inch television, a mini-bar, bathrobes, scales, ironing board and iron, complimentary bottled water, soaps, and toiletries.
Guests can stroll the Club's Versailles Gardens that
feature thirty-five acres of terraced gardens capped by an imported 14th-century cloister purchased from William Randolph Hearst. The more active guests can enjoy tennis at the Paradise Island Tennis Club that features nine lighted courts or play eighteen holes of golf at Paradise Island Golf Club. For those who just want to sun themselves, there is an Olympic-sized pool at the edge of the gardens or a private white-sand beach. Water sports offered include deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, and snorkeling. Scuba diving is available at a sister resort. You also have unlimited access to the facilities at their sister resort, Atlantis, also on Paradise Island, including their casino.
