2. The service was terrible and while half of my group got the one nice bed in the room, the other half had to sleep on the pull out spring bed, with one sheet a pillow, and no blanket, because the hotel said they didn't have the staff on to get us the blankets, or that they couldn't get it for us.

5. Partial ocean view will not be visible from your room, only from the patio, which was not terribly clean (cigarette butts could have been swept up, guys) and oddly, there was no little chair or table on patio.
