I was in the two bedroom unit and not only could I see the ocean from two different angles, there was also a private balcony! The place was warm and toasty with effective heaters, and I appreciated that even the kitchen knives were sharp. The staff are welcoming and helpful, and there was even a library of good books in the reception office that I could borrow.
