My wife and I own oceanfront villas. In my opinion, one of the key factors is the floor that you are staying on. Over the years, trees have grown, so with oceanfront villas, the trees may block the view of the water if you are on a lower floor. Similarly, if you are assigned an oceanside villa that is on a lower floor, you may also be too low to see the ocean. The decision may be what you plan to do when you are there. If you spend most of your time "out and about" or at the pools, etc, then the view from the room may not be as important than it may be for those who prefer to relax on the deck and enjoy the view.
