8.2 Very good
Pros:Ocean view room is beautiful and relaxing. Bed is very comfortable.
Cons:I could hear people talking on the hall way very clearly. Door closing feature can be improved so that it won't have a loud closing sound. I was surprised the cleaning lady came before the day of checking out. I brought a personal wine glass and put it on the table. The cleaning lady accidentally took it away. I mentioned to them but with no luck to get it back. That is to say, the management need improvements.
