In your opinion, what level would be worth the extra points. I know that this is subjective, but since you have just returned, I would be interested in your viewpoint. Thank you.
Mountain view rooms have really no views other than the golf course and some rather barren hills. Ocean view rooms generally have good ocean views, but are on lower floors and some may have views partially obstructed by tall palm trees. Deluxe ocean view rooms are on the higher floors of the tower building and also in the separate 4 floor ocean front building. Floors 1 and 2 of the ocean front building can have obstructed views due to trees and foilage.

This is a great, quiet resort. Have stayed there for many years. It's not a place for those looking for beach volleyball, etc.
