The balconies in the ocean view room we had were semi private which was great. Our room was very clean and they did mild management each day we were there to tidy it up. One of my favorite things was that they had a surge protector in the room to mitigate plugs! It was also far enough out of town you can really see the stars! Would stay again!"
