Be sure you get an ocean view room then, we asked (and we are owners) and got a parking lot view, said none were available----
Then some exchangers came in the next EARLY morning and were given 3 room keys to go pick what they wanted, ocean view rooms. I went around with them to see, the balconies had walls on both sides (for privacy) and small. I much prefer the large beautifully viewed lanais at KHR and we get rooms with ocean views, there. even when we exchanged in with Platinum Interchange.
From the lower pool at Sea Cliff (the upper one was closed), you can't sit by the pool and see the ocean due to fencing safety since it is all rocky there, you have to be standing. To me, that is a real drawback to an oceanfront resort and pool.
I have photos of the interiors of both resorts. I myself prefer the more Hawaiian decore or KHR, rather than typical....
