    "Garden view in upper floors are good gives you good side sea view from spacy balcony."
    "Ask for sea view room and a room with a double bed not two twin beds pushed together."
    "We had a large corner room with a garden view, but we could easily see and hear the ocean."
    "Rent a car."
    "Ask for a sea view higher up as trees obstruct view on lower floors."
