Rating8.1Adults OnlySeven room and suite categories, all renovated in 2018 with minibars, beverage dispensers, free WiFi, and private balconies or terraces. Room count is 452 total, though internal documents reference 416 rooms — the discrepancy likely reflects connecting configurations. Ocean Front rooms occupy the most sought-after positions; book these or expect garden/resort-facing views from most standard categories.

Garden or Resort View
301 sq ft. King bed with lounge area sofa, balcony or terrace facing garden or resort. Fits up to four but is snug at that capacity. Good base-level option if you're spending most of your time at the beach or pool.
Garden View
312 sq ft. Choice of king or two small doubles, lounge sofa, garden-facing balcony. The entry-level suite tier — more space than the standard room but nothing dramatic about the view.
Ocean View
312 sq ft. Same footprint as garden-view junior suites but with a partial or angled sea view from the balcony. Worth the upgrade if you can get it at a modest premium.
Ocean Front
312 sq ft. Direct ocean views from the balcony, king or two doubles. The best-value room upgrade on property — the view difference versus the garden rooms is significant.
Sea View
506 sq ft. Separate king bedroom and a dedicated lounge area with sofa. Panoramic sea views from the balcony. Beverage dispenser stocked as standard. Good for couples wanting genuine space to spread out.
Ocean View
688 sq ft total, connecting two 344 sq ft junior suites via a private hallway. Four doubles or two kings, two bathrooms, two balconies with ocean views, shared living area. Designed for families.
Ocean Front
688 sq ft total. Same two-room configuration as above but directly oceanfront. Best option for families prioritizing location. Four double beds total across two rooms.
