Stayed at the Oceanview Resort for four…

Stayed at the Oceanview Resort for four nights last month. The location was fantastic, just steps from the beach with beautiful sunset views from our balcony. However, the room felt dated and could use some renovations. The air conditioning was loud and kept us awake the first night. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Maria at the front desk who went out of her way to assist with dinner reservations. Breakfast buffet had good variety but food quality was inconsistent. Pool area was clean and well maintained. Overall decent value for the price point, though not exceptional.
