Best for the ocean view — pick an oceanfront or ocean view room
If the Pacific view is your priority, choose Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront, Room, Oceanfront or Room, Ocean View. The property's oceanfront rooms put the sand and Pacific directly outside your balcony or windows.

- Room, Oceanfront — compact oceanfront option with balcony
- Room, Ocean View — good ocean sightlines when oceanfront rooms are sold out
| Room name | Typical advantage |
|---|---|
| Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront | Largest ocean-facing layout with living room |
| Room, Oceanfront | Direct beach-facing balcony in a guest room |
| Room, Ocean View | Ocean sightlines with a smaller footprint |
Best for families — space and flexible bedding
Families will usually prefer Suite, with Sofa bed (One-Bedroom Suite) or Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront. Both layouts explicitly list a king bed plus a double sofa bed, giving sleeping space for kids without requiring a rollaway.
The hotel also offers connecting rooms for larger groups. Ask the reservation team or the Beach Concierge about connecting-room availability when booking.
- Suite, with Sofa bed (One-Bedroom Suite) — king bed + double sofa bed
- Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront — oceanfront one-bedroom with sofa bed option on some configurations
- Connecting room options are available for families and groups

| Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront | Oceanfront location plus living room space |
| Studio, with Sofa bed | Smaller footprint with an extra sleeping surface for a child |
Best for size and layout — pick a Beach House or Pacific View suite
Suite (Beach House) and Suite (Pacific View) provide larger living and dining areas, fireplaces in some layouts, and more of a residential feel than standard guest rooms. These are good choices when you want separate sitting and dining spaces.
Not every suite has the same configuration; check the exact suite name when booking to confirm whether it includes a dining table, fireplace, or sofa bed.
- Suite (Beach House) — larger living room, dining area and whirlpool/large bathroom on some layouts
- Suite (Pacific View) — ocean-view suites with living/dining and bedroom separation
- Suite, Ocean View — slightly smaller suite with ocean-facing windows
| Suite name | Layout highlight |
|---|---|
| Suite (Beach House) | Spacious living/dining and often a fireplace |
| Suite (Pacific View) | Ocean-facing living area and separate bedroom |
| Suite, Ocean View | Suite-size room with ocean views |
Best value and standard picks — Deluxe and Superior Rooms
Deluxe Room and Superior Room, 1 King Bed (or Superior Room, 2 Double Beds) are the standard guest-room options. They offer the hotel's coastal décor and many include a balcony or partial ocean view when available.
If an oceanfront suite is out of budget or sold out, aim for Room, Ocean View or Room, Oceanfront as a mid-range alternative; otherwise go with Deluxe Room or a Superior Room and request a higher floor or partial view.
- Deluxe Room — standard choice with either king or two doubles depending on configuration
- Superior Room, 1 King Bed / Superior Room, 2 Double Beds — dependable standard rooms; some have balconies
- Room, 1 King Bed, Partial Ocean View and Room, 2 Double Beds, Partial Ocean View — compromise when full oceanfront is not necessary
| Room name | When to choose it |
|---|---|
| Deluxe Room | Good standard room when a suite isn't needed |
| Superior Room, 1 King Bed | Comfortable standard room; request balcony or view |
| Room, 1 King Bed, Partial Ocean View | Partial ocean sightline without full oceanfront pricing |
