Unfortunately, I just found this description of "privacy" on tripadvisor from someone who actually stayed in the beachfront suite at the Rosewood...

"The seemingly isolated resort is, in fact, surrounded by hotels as far as the eye can see, and some are pretty ugly. The guests at these hotels walk and jog up and down the beach in an endless (if not vast in numbers) procession of etiquette-free gawkers. Sitting on our deck by the ocean was like being in a shop window on Madison Avenue. People didn't just glance at us, they stared, with crooked necks and gaping mouths, from 10 yards away. The hotel staff was fast to prevent them from setting up shop on our beach or ever coming anywhere near the room, but there was no sense of privacy whatever from 9 AM to sunset, except in the room with the curtains mostly closed."

The reviewer loved the rest of the resort, however.
