Ocean View Rooms - Parents
• The difference between a ‘Garden View’ and an
‘Ocean View Room’ just is £30 per room per night so
a total of £330 for the 11 nights duration.
• There are also 9 exclusive Ocean View Junior Suites
(extended bedrooms with seating area) which, would
cost a supplement of £59 per suite per night over
and above the Garden room price. (£649)
• Should any parents be accustomed to 4* or 5* hotels
would really feel the benefit of the ocean view
accommodation.
