On our first trip, we went for the oceanview room as we assumed it would be that much better. It was nice and all, but worth the extra $$ ?? Not a chance ! (to us) We wouldnt think of paying the extra for it again, cause with the $$ we save by staying in in a gardenview, we can usually stay at least one or two nights extra.
Also, not too many people spend alot of time in their rooms and those that do are too busy with "other things"
to be worried about the view out the window......
