We paid extra for an ocean view room and loved the view. However, we could not enjoy sitting out on the balcony at any point because of the constant tremendous smoke and odor of marijuana being smoked by our neighboring guests, which the ocean breeze blew right back at us and into our room. Several members of the staff were very helpful in providing recommendations of nearby restaurants to enjoy. Parking was a challenge at times on the property.
