Paid for an ocean front room but they are ocean view so I’m confused as to what I paid extra for? Bed was comfy, downstairs rooms are a bit loud with upstairs walking going on. Cute little balcony but I would not call this ocean front.

What is not like about this property?! The perfect location just right out of town and it was so peaceful and serene. We had an oceanfront king room and it was absolutely perfect. We could just sit out on our balcony and watch the birds fly by and we saw whales from our room. The service was exceptional and we have zero complaints. I can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Loved this stay! Was glad that we were assigned the ocean view room away from the pool area so it was more private. The ocean view was beautiful and calming. We basically had the balcony sliding door open the entire stay. Everything was super clean. Close to a beach and their downtown area. Beautiful views when walking on the path next to the hotel. Loved the outdoor swings and seating. My only complaint was their “fire alarm” went off atleast 7-8 times in one day. I was there for peace and quiet and to be able to sleep in and the alarm kept going off in the morning and then one time again at 11pm. Other than that the stay was perfect. Would definitely come back!
