Room with a view??

Here is the scenario.You are working closely with your travel agent to plan your upcoming vacation. Location doesn't really matter: Caribbean, Mexico or Hawaii. Then your travel agent asks would you prefer a garden view,  ocean-view, partial ocean-view or oceanfront room? In my visits to numerous hotels and resorts throughout Hawaii, The Caribbean and Mexico over the years I can attest that there really is no standard definition. So it is important that if your view is important consult an agent who has visited that resort.


In generally terms they following is what I go by:

ROH (Run of the House)-whatever you can get....could be oceanfront could be overlooking the garage. Choose only if you do not care

Garden-View- pretty much exactly what it sounds like it is. Usually a good bet if your on a budget or are at a low rise resort with lush landscaping...(Sandals, Couples or Beaches etc)

Partial Ocean View- You can see the ocean or a part of it from either your room or balcony, lanai or terrace


OceanView-  You can see the ocean from your room without stepping outside.

Oceanfront- You can see the ocean as soon as you open the door to ypur room.

As previously mentioned each resort is a bit different so please contact a travel pro for exact specifications at your resort.
