First, you need to keep in mind that most of the rooms at Vero do not have an ocean view (unless you are in the Inn or a Beach Cottage). However, you can sometimes get a good view of the ocean from the deck. With that in mind, we usually ask for a top floor, since any views you might have on the lower floors are frequently blocked by vegitation.
Also, requesting specific room numbers is almost always the best way to ensure that you won't get what you want.
