My husband and I stayed at OPI for two nights. When I was booking it, I asked the gentleman, who took my reservation whether it was ocean front. In fact, I asked him that twice and twice he stated that yes, the it was right on the water. Perhaps I was not clear enough, but I was under the impression that ocean front means also ocean view. Well, it doesn't.
OPI has only three rooms: one "king suite" (an actual suite) on the second floor, and two "queen suits", which are located on the ground floor. The queen suits are basically hotel rooms: no separate living/bedroom, etc. In fact, to get to the queen suite, you have to take two to three steps down. The room has only a sliding glass door, facing the nicely landscaped parking, beyond which lies the ocean, and one smaller window in the back, overlooking some addition being built and a very old house (see pictures). So the room, while being mostly above the ground, felt like basement because it was very dark and no view of ocean at all. In addition, the sliding glass door was covered by a large deck from the second level, which added to the darkness.
The room is extremely clean, the linens are fresh, and the bathroom delightful. The decorations are also simple and nice. The shower was very cool (rain shower), and the color scheme and the natural stone in the bathroom very enjoyable. I also enjoyed that there was an espresso machine in the room with free espresso shots. There is an LCD TV in the room, but it is approximately 21-22 inches diagonally and mounted almost by the ceiling.
The service was excellent. The host friendly, but not intrusive. Breakfast was delicious! I have also included photos of breakfast, which that day was potato fritata with beef chorizo and fresh scone. That came along with fresh french press coffee and fresh fruit.
I only wish the host was more upfront with me about no ocean view of ANY KIND and the room being slightly below the ground. So, if you book any of the queen rooms, please know that you will not have an ocean view.
Should we have been able to book the only second level king suite, I think my review would have been different.
