We had parking and a side view of the ocean. Weather didn’t cooperate-not a fault of the hotel.

Belt Road Seaside Holiday Park
Beautiful view of ocean and snowcapped mountains. One very strong recommendation would be to remove the big huge plant from right in front of our room. It blocked the view substantially.
