Is your pool heated and do you have any 2 bedroom units that look at the ocean?

I believe the pool is heated. You need to check with the resort. I know many of the 2 bedrooms in the rear face a dirt mountain or retaining wall. There is really no view at all in the rear of the building. You MUST ask for a 2 bedroom in the front facing the ocean.

What time does the train stop honking at night

Hello Frank M, Typically, the last train stops by at midnight. We have not heard the train horn, they usually just pass by.
