Best rooms for ocean views
If your priority is a room with direct water sightlines and a balcony, choose Ocean View King with Balcony (380 sq. ft.) or Ocean View Two Queen with Balcony (440 sq. ft.). Both list 'Ocean View' and include balcony access in the room type name.
These rooms put you closest to the Atlantic for sunrise views and easy beach access; the hotel sits steps from the sand so ocean-facing rooms are the easiest way to be near the water.

| Ocean View Two Queen with Balcony | Ocean view, private balcony | 4 Guests |
| Zen Ocean View Suite with Balcony | Ocean view, balcony, larger living area | 2 Guests |
Best rooms for couples and quiet stays
Couples who want a calm, design-led room should consider Zen Ocean View Suite with Balcony (593 sq. ft.). It pairs a raised or platformed king bed with a separate living area for lounging and a balcony facing the Atlantic.
Zen Ocean View Suite offers more square footage and separation than standard guest rooms, so it suits travelers who value extra space to relax without upgrading all the way to a Villa or Umi suite.

| Ocean-facing orientation | Guests who prioritize sunrise/ocean views |
| Avoids penthouse-level commitment | Travelers seeking comfort without full villa prices |
Best rooms for families
Rooms with two beds and larger square footage are the practical choice for families. Resort View Two Queen (391 sq. ft.), Ocean View Two Queen with Balcony (440 sq. ft.), and Bay View Junior Suite Two Queen (627 sq. ft.) are the room types listed that accommodate families of up to four.
The hotel is family-friendly overall and provides a kids' club for ages 4–12 plus a children's pool — choose a two-queen room or the Bay View Junior Suite Two Queen for more space and sleeping flexibility.

Best suites and Villas for space or special occasions
If you want a clear separation between bedroom and living/dining spaces, the Umi Ocean View One Bedroom Suite with Balcony (725 sq. ft.) is designed for that layout, offering a dedicated one-bedroom plan with balcony access.
For the largest private layouts, the Villas (Villa, Balcony, Ocean View; Villa, Balcony, Bay View (Yuhi, Sunset View); Villa, Ocean View) are the biggest options — room sizes in the Villas range from roughly 1,128 to 1,690 sq. ft., and penthouse-level Villas include additional perks such as a private fitness center and arranged airport transfers for Villa guests.

Best value and mid-range picks
If you want a standard Nobu design without the suite price tag, Bay View Room (380 sq. ft.) and Resort View King (380 sq. ft.) give the same basic in-room amenities (Nespresso, minibar, flat-screen TV, spa-style bathroom) and represent the mid-range choices on the room list.
Bay View Room can be a good value if you prefer quieter bay-facing outlooks; Resort View King works well for travelers focused on hotel amenities and dining rather than ocean-facing scenery.
- Bay View Room — 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds, 4 Guests
- Resort View King — 1 King Bed, 2 Guests
- Both include Nobu-standard room features: Nespresso machine, in-room safe, spa-like bathroom
| Room | When to pick it |
|---|---|
| Bay View Room | You want quieter views and value |
| Resort View King | You prefer central hotel orientation and lower rates than suites |
| Bay View Junior Suite King | Value upgrade for more space without jumping to a Villa |
Booking tips: what to ask for and what to expect
When booking, request 'balcony' and specify ocean or bay if the view matters; room names in the hotel inventory include view and bed setup (for example, Ocean View King with Balcony). Early check-in and late check-out are available only by request and depend on availability.
Note the hotel charges a mandatory daily resort fee that typically covers a welcome drink, access to Esencia Spa relaxation areas, WiFi, daily in-room coffee/tea, pool chairs, and fitness center access. Valet parking is the only on-site parking option.
- Ask for an ocean-facing room on a higher floor for less street noise and better horizon views.
- Confirm bedding if you need two beds — some room types offer King or Two Queen options.
- Expect a mandatory resort fee; check the fee inclusions and current amount at booking.
- Valet parking only; overnight and daily valet rates are listed in the hotel's FAQ.
| Common request | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Higher-floor ocean-facing room | Better ocean horizon and sunrise exposure |
| Specify bedding (King vs. Two Queen) | Ensures the room matches your group's sleeping needs |
| Confirm resort fee inclusions | Avoid surprises on arrival and know what amenities are covered |
