Good Rooftop Dining

The rooftop bar was a scenic gem. We enjoyed small plates while watching the sunset, and the ambiance was simply romantic. It was a lovely way to unwind after a long day.

My recent stay at Ocean Lodge was quite frustrating despite its potential. While I liked the spacious suites and their comfort, my experience was overshadowed by issues with the management and restaurant operations. The location is nice, being just a short walk from the beach, but the service during our dining experience was lacking, resulting in a disappointing evening. It's hard to justify the price given the setbacks we faced.

I was really looking forward to my stay at Ocean Lodge, especially after so many years of positive experiences. Unfortunately, things didn't live up to expectations this time. The room we were assigned was noisy due to the restaurant above and not the luxurious penthouse we anticipated. Service was also lacking, as our room wasn’t cleaned during our stay. However, the charm of the lodge and the delicious breakfasts were highlights.
