No ocean view from the property - beautiful mountains behind the building and very pleasant surroundings, grassy area with tables and chairs pool & hot tub. The room had a nice balcony overlooking the grounds however no chairs are provided (we happened to have our folding beach chairs.) The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was missing a shower curtain which they brought up immediately. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. Odd abstract artwork but not bad. The walls are thin luckily we had fairly quiet neighbors. We stayed upstairs and in the back building near the middle so traffic noise was not an issue.

The air conditioner was not working that well, and continued to turn on (loudly) and off. I woke up all night long because of it. There were no balcony chairs or a table on the balcony and the towel bar was missing. For the price we paid, I would have expected more. At least the beds were comfortable.
