We booked an ocean front room. We got a room facing the courtyard. If you sat on the couch at just the right place, you could get a partial ocean view. Some ocean front rooms are actually even across the street in a different part of the hotel. "Ocean front" seems loosely defined. The hotel has eliminated the concierge position--you are on your own for restaurant recommendations and making reservations. They charge $50 a night (all in) for parking. The valet parking staff has fewer positions, so you may wait for your car as the people they do have try to do their best. All of this would not be so bad but we paid, again all in, $800 a night for the room for what we hoped would be a special, romantic week-end. In short, poor value for the money as the owners seemingly do whatever they can to extract the most profit from the property.
