The amenities are excellent. All rooms are ocean view. There are beachfront rooms as well, where your private balcony actually directly overlooks the dunes. The pool is heated and sizeable and well-maintained. Surrounding the pool are lounge chairs and umbrellas which line the deck rail overlooking the dunes and beach, perfect for people-viewing, relaxing with your 'beverage', or watching the ocean waves. If you choose, there are also barbeque grills for guest use. The hotel offers direct walkways to the beach with complimentary beach umbrellas at your request. You might consider an upper level room which offers a more panoramic view. The lower level rooms are absolutely fine but the views of the ocean may be somewhat obstructed by the pool and deck railings. Also, the lower, main floor rooms do not have fenced terrace space- there is an outdoor, partitioned seating area per room but it opens right on the deck walkway. The ocean views are spectacular. Being that the hotel is located at the end of the ***** of beach hotels, you don't get the busy beach crowd and, consider also that, conveniently, the IGA supermarket is an easy 5-10 minute walk. Take the back street! Alternatively, the walk into town is just as short and accessible. Parking is limited, as you are informed, but certainly sufficient if there is one car per room. Once you are parked at the hotel, there is no need to use your car for anything while there. Our manager, Karen was extremely attentive to her guests. On her initiative, Karen upgraded our room to a beachfront unit because she did not want us to be bothered by the paint smell from maintenance work being done close to our original room. The complimentary upgrade was for our 'inconvenience' in having to move from our room. (Inconvenience me anytime!!) Highly recommend Room #23. It's probably the nicest accommodation in the hotel. Karen also delivered our beach umbrellas right to our room. We felt pampered there and thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at the Ocean Surf Resort.
