There are several page templates you can use on your site – full width, with sidebar, full width grid, grid with sidebar. Each one is a hand-crafted design solution.
Native Integration with WordPress
Oceanica WordPress hotel theme is maximum integrated with a native WordPress core functionality, so the editing process will be a breeze for you.
You won’t lose your content even if you switch the theme.
Hotel Booking Engine [free]
Professionally translated into multiple languages, our premium WordPress Reservation Plugin is included for free into this theme.
The plugin will help you create an awesome rooms listing and optionally enable online reservation for them to fully automate your work with the guests.
Online and Offline Payments
PayPal, 2Checkout, Stripe, Braintree, Beanstream/Bambora, and more to come. For more gateways, you can purchase our custom WooCommerce Payments add-on.
You can accept online reservation payments through these payment methods, increasing your international travellers audience. Moreover, you may allow your guests pay only after arrival.
Seasonal Pricing and Rates
Set different prices for low and high seasons, weekends, or whatever period you want – the plugin settings allow you to apply these changes in a matter of clicks.
Custom Booking Rules
The PMS allows you to set min / max days to stay and available check-in and check-out dates for all rooms at once, accommodations individually or seasons.
You may also block booking option for all accommodations or any one individually for a chosen period of time (set not check-in, not check-out or not stay-in rules).
Weekly and Monthly Rates
You can set any room rate depending on a season (any term). To create different price points based on the length of stay, you can add weekly, monthly or other customizable rates.
The system will automatically discount the rooms according to your rate rules. A better per-night rate for a longer stay will help you stay competitive in the industry!
Variable Pricing
The accommodation price can be changed automatically based on a number of guests. You simply need to add a needed number of the per-guest price variables that will be different from the base accommodation price.
Your guests will see a relative price once they input their search parameters.
Channel Manager for Bookings
Synchronize all reservations submitted directly on your site with those on OTAs like Airbnb. The system supports iCal sync, which means you can exchange bookings data with the channels where your property is listed and avoid overbooking.
The synchronization is possible only with those OTAs that support iCal file format (the most popular ones do.)
Docs and Support
If you stuck somewhere, don’t worry – we are ready to help you in any preferable way!

Hotel Booking - Excellent Product and Support
Helpful customer support, great set of features
The best support
Perfect theme for guestroom
Great Theme with Great Support
I have added import url of external calendar to one my property. When i have done manually sync then booking data from external calendar have been copied to our calendar. But I want this process auto sync. I think this auto sync process can be done using the crone job but issue is that I have no idea which crone job is set to in my host. Or may be i need to do other setting in the plugin. Please help for this
Hi Cherri,
The auto-sync can be enabled in Accommodation > Settings.
Hi, I am interesting to buy your theme but I need to have an images slider instead of a single image in the home page. Is it possible with this theme;
Thank you in advance
Hi,
There is not an option to put slider instead of featured image with default functionality. But it is possible to override theme page template and embed third party slider or other element.
I want the one big calendar for the front site that calendar shows all booking dates of all accommodations.
So in theme there are any “short code” available for it! If it is not, then can give the function name that gives me all booking dates and unavailable dates for all accommodation so using that return data object i can set calendar using these data in website page.
Please give me some hint for this thing.
Thanks In Advance.
Hi Cherri,
Thanks for your request however there is no option on the front-end. You may find such calendar at back-end (Dashboard>Bookings>Calendar). Could you clarify why do you need such calendar on front-end?
I want that full calendar to show all booking date of all accommodation at one place so my user can show which dates is booked for which accommodation.
When any user try to booking accommodation and payment process not completed(Not successful payment) that means those booking payment show as pending amount in booking section.
But problem is that those booking date consider as unavailable in calendar of the accommodation booking detail page that means we can not booking for those date.
That means if any user not pay money for booking however the specific dates will be selected as booking then no other user will book those dates.
Hi,
The availability is blocked when a booking is placed, because the system is waiting for a confirmation of the transaction from the payment gateway. The property should not be booked by another user in this period. The booking plugin waits for this confirmation as long as you set it in Accommodation > Settings > Payment Gateways (Pending Payment Time). If no confirmation comes in that period, e.g. when the payment was not completed, the booking automatically changes its status to Abandoned and the dates open booking again.
I have checked this link (https://themes.getmotopress.com/oceanica/accommodation/comfort-triple-room/?#booking-form-164) when we try to make submit reservation booking form then it will go to search availability page.
I think this the wrong thing because after submit reservation form we need to go to booking confirmation page.
For my need, you can check this booking form “https://themes.getmotopress.com/villagio/accommodation/cuvee-hualalai-estate/?#booking-form-44” of Villagio theme. In this booking form, reservation form is submit to booking confirmation form.
So how can i do this same process of booking of Villagio theme to my purchased oceanica theme?
Hi Cherri,
You should navigate to Dashboard>Accommodation>Settings>find and enable Direct Booking option. This will make the forms of certain accommodation types to check availability without going to search results page.
I really like this template. Can the booking date widgets be formatted to display using the US standard (e.g. mm/dd/yyyy) ?
Hi Mike,
Yes, the dates of the booking system follow the date format of your WordPress (Settings > General).
Thanks, Stacy. I bought the theme on your information, but it is not correct. The date picker / date field does not respect the date format setting of wordpress. Is there a way I can fix that?
Hi Mike,
The date format also needs to be set up in Accommodation > Settings (Date Format).
Hello, I would like to know how can i change my header image size on front page that is width of the screen? No matter which image or resizes i do, it still is same size or smaller than the Front Page lower bar column. I could not find any documentation on the size, nor did i manage to find size edit option on php header.
Appreciate your help.
Hello Kash,
You can edit height of featured image applying custom styles e.g.
.post-thumbnail{ height: 900px; }Does this theme enable presentation and booking of a single property only? e.g. I have two apartments in a house, rented separately incl. different pricing etc. Can I list them both using this theme?
Hi Al,
Yes, sure. You can rent any other property type instead of default rooms. Thus you will create 2 accommodation types naming them as your 2 apartments with different rates, description etc. And each accommodation type would have 1 accommodation so once it is booked the apartment becomes unavailable. Feel free to test it at live demo and contact us if you have any additional question.
Does Oceanic come with Stripe integration?
Yes, there is used our Hotel Booking plugin in this theme where Stripe payment gateway is available by default.
Hi, does this theme has already included Motopress booking plugin? or I have to buy this plugin apart? thank you
Nta
Hi Natalia,
Hotel Booking plugin is integrated in Oceanica theme by default. It is suggested for installation after you activate theme on your WordPress.
but its not free, I was told it was included, now 30 days later they sent me a bill.
Hello Brend,
The plugin is integrated into theme by default. Could you clarify your case more detailed? Probably you tested Hotel Booking plugin on our demo and you received an email offering to purchase the plugin you have tested. However it is not a bill and if you own a theme with plugin included you may ignore that email.
Unfortunately we could not find any purchase made on our website using current email address.
Hi,
is this theme compatible with other page builders (elementor, Beaver builder) ?
Thanks
Hi,
Yes, you can edit content area of pages, posts, accommodation types and other post types using visual editors. By the way there is integration addon for Elementor available.
Thanks, also, how long does the license last?
Hi Todd,
The license of a theme is lifetime for updates and 1 year of support. In case you require assistance after 1 year you will be able to extend support.
I’m a bit of a beginner, but I don’t understand the different between a single site and unlimited.
Hi Todd,
Thank you for the question. The only difference between the single site license and the unlimited one is that with the unlimited license you can install the theme on more than one domain. So if you are planning to use the Oceanica theme for managing only one rental website, then the single site license will be enough in your case.
Would you please include Bulgarian language into the translations of the theme/Hotel reservations plugin/? Thank you in advance!!!
Hi Georgi,
Thank you for your interest. We have added Bulgarian translation for Hotel Booking plugin. As for theme so you can translate it locally and send a file after this is done so we’ll include it in the next update release.
Does this theme support Paysera payment gateway?
Hi Luidas,
You can check if there is valid Paysera payment addon for WooCommerce and use it as well as our WooCommerce Payments addon. Our addon allows to integrate WooCommerce payments as new gateway for booking.
If you are considering Oceanica, I get this when trying to install WooCommerce :
===
Your theme is not compatible with WooCommerce. We recommend you switch to Storefront, a free WordPress theme built and maintained by the makers of WooCommerce. If toggled on, Storefront will be installed and activated for you.
===
I wasn’t expecting this, and would have installed in multisite mode, if I had known….switching now.
WooCommerce is fairly popular. Does it not seem reasonable that lodging facilities might want to sell items that don’t necessarily tie to bookings. That’s what my client wants.
Hi Ken,
Since latest update Oceanica and other themes support WooCommerce. Make sure your theme is up to date.
I am noting some annoyances with this Theme, and perhaps the Motopress Framework.
These are small things, but it seems that they shouldn’t exist in 2017/2018, because we have computers to handle this stuff:
1) Number of Child Pages on Front Page doesn’t recalculate automatically. The CSS is hardcoded to assume 3 child pages at 33.33% each. Isn’t there a way to calculate this dynamically at run time?
2) The items in the Activities menu don’t adjust automatically when the corresponding posts are set to Draft. I had Joomla templates ten years ago which built menus of posts on the fly. It’s possible in WordPress, right?
Not sure what the issue is here, but this is two more really basic things that considerate developers should handle for their customers, IMHO.
Hi ken,
Thank you for your feedback. We’ll keep your suggestion in mind.
As for another question so links does not hide at menu if page is set to draft in WordPress. You can try to search for some third party plugin that allows to hide unpublished menu items automatically.
Be aware that the demo data file is 40+ MB for some reason, and can’t be installed from within the Admin, but has to be downloaded. If you happen to be on a slow link, good luck – my download has failed twice. It would be MUCH more sensible if Motopress would create a decent Demo installer like other theme companies, one that would move the largeish file from server to server, and not server to client to server. Oh, and further, you have to hack the SQL file, and install it manually using PHPMyAdmin – not very friendly.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you faced difficulties downloading and importing sample data. The size of sample data mostly depends on images media files that should be imported for ccommodation types. We appreciated your thoughts you shared and we ‘ll do our best to provide a solution further. I’ve added your request to our features list. Our developers will review it and will look for solution. However if you have problems with Internet connection you might have difficulties even with ‘server-to-server’ direction.
Our support agents just assisted you with sample data import. Thank you!
Verifying- yes, very quick and friendly support. Thanks very much.
Looking forward to improvements in the Demo Import.
Also is the plugin offered on your plugin page any different than the one included with the theme? Thanks.
Hi Bob,
The MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin that is included in the theme is the same that you can purchase separately, but it is accessible only after the theme is activated.
It says that the theme comes with the hotel booking plugin. Is the plugin still independent of this theme or is it locked to this theme? If i decide to change themes, will the plugin still work? If I purchase the unlimited license, can i still use the themes and the plugin seperately?
Hi Bob,
You have access to the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin only after the theme is activated, so we would recommend purchasing the plugin separately if you are not planing to use it with the theme.
