For sea views plus a city centre location close to the night market, there's a whole row of tall, thin choices on Haibin Rd. From outside, View Ocean looks dowdier than many, but inside rooms are beautifully appointed with lots of artistic detailing, the family owners speak good English, the lobby is packed with curiosities and there's a super-sweet back garden.
Third-floor rooms are cheaper as the views are obstructed. Weekend prices are around 25% higher.
