The Ocean House has a beautiful beachfront location and offers a variety of activities, but my experience with the afternoon tea was disappointing due to poor food quality and service. The valet staff was also notably unhelpful, which marred what could have been an enjoyable trip. On a positive note, the overall staff assistance at other points was excellent, making my stay feel more welcoming despite these issues.
