I'm having a very hard time finding any moderately priced AI (or not) resorts in PDC that have any STANDARD ocean view rooms. Most resorts seem to be set up "Villa" style.

I'm just curious as to why this is (as opposed to the Cancun style resorts with many floors and all rooms facing the ocean) and if anyone has any suggestions of ocean view resorts I can check out.

To me there is nothing better than falling asleep at night to the sound of the waves. Thank you so much!!!

Check out Playa Maya. We are staying there in July. Ocean front room for $120.00 a night. Not ai, but it does include breakfast.

The reason most resorts in PDC are villa style (usually with no more than 3 stories) is so it doesn't end up looking like Cancun. When I fly into Cancun I always think I'm flying into the Vegas strip. Thank God Playa doesn't have high rises!!!!!

Last year I chose the Viva Wyndham Azteca specifically because I could request an ocean view room. If you join Wyndham by Request you get better rooms. We loved it so much we are going back again this April. It's a small resort and moderately priced. I wrote a review last Nov. and posted pictures if you are interested.
