What’s the differences between these two resorts? They are pretty close to each other.
Thank you
 

Without kids, beach lovers, want nice balcony = Oceana Palms.

With kids, pool lovers, like large footprint resorts, don’t care about balconies = Ocean Pointe.

That is a much discussed topic on theses boards. Try the search box. I stayed at ocean pointe in November and used info from this forum.
There was also a thread about restaurants on singer island recently.
And be sure to watch destination timeshare YouTube videos.
They are very close together, just a 15-20 minute walk apart.

Oceana Palms is a tower style resort where Ocean Pointe is spread out in 5 buildings of 7 stories high. More of a campus outdoor feel at Ocean Pointe.
 
Oceana Palms has more of a boutique feeling. not such a great pool/hot tub scene. Maybe a little better bar/restaurant. A better marketplace. Better balconies. No lock-off units.

Ocean Points is older and the units have the old style layout with all units being either 2 or 3 bedroom units. It has more of a resort feel with several large pools and hot tubs. They have a decent bar/grill that is mostly outdoors.

We enjoy both for different reasons. Sometimes we enjoy the resort feeling. Sometimes the more luxurious feeling afford at Ocean Palms.
 
Which resort is the farthest south?
I ask because someone I met recently recommended the southern property of the two. She said it's less crowded & they like the atmosphere there.

Ocean Pointe. It’s much larger.
