Choosing an all-inclusive is one thing, but once you do, you are often presented with a second decision: which type of room do you book? If you are looking for a view of the ocean, you may be presented with a few confusing options. We are going to break down the difference between Ocean View and Ocean Front accommodations.

Ocean View Rooms

Ocean View means that you will be able to see the ocean from your room – but it might not be an obvious view.

 

In fact, all it takes for a room to be considered ‘ocean view’ is there to be some portion of the ocean visible from your room. You may only be able to see a small sliver between the palm trees or if you really look out at a certain angle, or are in a particular spot in the room to see it, that could be classified as ocean view.

Ocean Front Rooms

Whereas an ‘ocean view’ room can be located further inland, an ‘ocean front’ room guarantees your accommodation is near the water.

 

Ocean front rooms always face the ocean and this type of room is perfect for lovers of the sea. While ocean view rooms tend to offer a partial view of the ocean, ocean front rooms have a more direct view and are often located a short distance from the water, so you can hear the ocean when opening the balcony doors.

Pro Tip

Request a room on a higher floor for a better chance to see the ocean.

 

You want amazing views, and we get it. There’s hardly anything more refreshing than being able to gaze out from a patio or even from your bed, your heart being ignited by the beauty and expansiveness of the ocean.

 

Knowing the difference between ocean view and ocean front rooms comes in handy ahead of your vacation so you know what to look for during the booking process.
