- Poolside/Beach Village access: Cabana Pool View Room and Cabana Pool View 2 Queens are listed with pool views and guest access considerations.
- Families and grab-and-go: ENO Market & Pizzeria and Sundaes are convenient for quick meals and kid-friendly treats.

|---|---|
| Victorian Oceanview Room | Short walk to oceanfront restaurants and beach |
| The Views Ocean View Suite | Larger suite with ocean view for dining-view priorities |
