Elegant Intuitive Design

We’ve used the best design techniques to make the Oceanica WordPress hotel theme visually perfect and reach a design-usability balance.

The ease of navigation, intuitiveness, and clutter-free page space is what your guests will enjoy when surfing the site.

Responsive and Mobile Ready

Sharp and clean content on each device, no matter the screen size.

Be sure that modern travelers will be able to make an online room reservation from their cell phone as easily as desktop users.

Fully Customizable Front Page

This WordPress hotel theme is fully integrated with the WordPress Customizer for editing the front page in a real-time – simply add and style your content without any coding.

You can use a video or image in the front page header section, enable a sticky menu, change the anchor separator, and more.

Unlimited Colors

Create the color scheme that will perfectly suit your needs – your feel, your colors, your brand.

It’s easy to change the colors in clicks with the color picker via the WordPress customizer live editor.

Customizable Menus

You won’t need to get any extra toolkit to manage menus. Current 3 header and 1 footer menus are absolutely editable – you can use any to feature your primary pages, contact info, social media icons, or anything else you want. Switch menu location and update their content at any time.

Wide and Boxed Layouts

Use different layouts for different needs.

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 in this theme.

The plugin will help you create an awesome room listing and optionally enable online reservations 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 travelers’ audience. Moreover, you may allow your guests to 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 the booking option for all accommodations or anyone 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 the 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 the 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 are stuck somewhere, don’t worry – we are ready to help you in any preferable way!

Hotel Booking - Excellent Product and Support

By Elizabeth Montgommery on April 6, 2018 at 4:07 pm

We are very impressed with the Motopress Hotel plugin /Oceania theme, having reviewed /tried and been disappointed with other booking plugins.

A good hotel booking function is pretty tricky to get right – it must work for different settings from a single unit B&B to a multi property hotel. This plugin is very well designed and covers a majority of the possible situations with lots of options for tailoring. Includes the necessary components like taxes, services, amenities and cancellations. Flexible options for payment gateways. Auto emails to guests and the admin is also a great feature. The plugin is clean and simple, not loaded down with extraneous marginal components that slow response time and invite programming conflicts.

On the all important support side of the equation, these guys have been great both before and after purchase, with clear, helpful, correct and prompt responses to questions. One thing which really helped our purchase decision was the live preview which lets you see exactly how everything works to determine if the product meets your requirements. A live preview is a sign of a product in which the creator has confidence.

This plugin gives your property visitors a booking experience comparable to what they get with a large hotel chain – this is SO important for a hotel or B&B.

Great job!

Helpful customer support, great set of features

By Cassiano Surek on April 9, 2018 at 3:10 pm

We bought the oceanica theme to showcase our property in southern Brazil.

We, however, rent property areas rather than hotel rooms, so a fair bit of customisation had to be conducted. Whilst in that process, MotoPress were very responsive and helpful in helping change CSS styles to adjust the reservation plugin for our needs.

Our site is in Brazilian Portuguese and they were equally helpful in giving us directions on how to adapt wording and URLs.

Lastly, the price was very favourable for the features and design provided.

I’d recommend their services without hesitation.

Great support and a nice and simple theme

By Arna Frida Ingvarsdottir on July 3, 2019 at 9:28 am

The theme is simple and has everything I need for my client. I got into some trouble with the Hotel Booking plugin because I didn’t really know how to use it properly, but the support at Moto Press is amazing and they helped me very quickly and efficiently. I would totally recommend the theme, the Hotel Booking plugin and the Moto Press team. Thank you.

Simple, clean and responsive design

By Melissa Lara De Leon Roque on August 28, 2019 at 3:45 pm

We like the design of Oceanica theme and currently using it on our website. It is clean and cool to the eyes, and very easy to customise too. When we get confused, we just email Motopress support system and they are always available to instruct us as well as resolve all the concerns we had, immediately and politely. Their services and products are highly recommended.

  Hi Sourabh,
  Thanks for your question. The online shop feature is optional and was added later to the theme preview and that’s why it is not included in the demo import file. In order to add a shop page to your site you should install the WooCommerce plugin, follow the steps of the Wizard, and import products.

The theme description mentions “Product is subject to a yearly license for support and automatic updates.”
Does this means future updates are not included in the price of the template? Can you clarify how this works?
thank you

  Hi Vince,
  Thanks for your question. It means the license is annual for update and support. Thus after 1 year since a purchase of the product the license expires and you can not download the product nor get support from our team. However, it is possible to renew the license whenever you need to get an update or support. The renewal costs 50% off the actual license price. We also have a Lifetime Membership offer to pay once and get lifetime updates and access to motopress products on this website (themes and plugins).

  Hello Marina,
  Sure, if you use the Gutenberg page builder, in the 2.0.1 theme version there was added theme support for Getwid plugin – collection of 40+ comprehensive Gutenberg blocks.
  So, you may easily add a contact form with the Getwid Contact Form block.
  Otherwise, you may add a contact form by using a third-party plugin for this purpose.
