We booked Orient Beach hotel for a stay in early March. That was one of the many reasons we booked 3rd floor room. Yes, it is a little more money, but for the privacy, noise, mosquitos, other insects, iguanas (yes, we had an "experience" previously) and of course the view, I am happy to pay a little more. Anyone can comment on seaweed? I heard it is not that bad during winter and early spring compare to summer month.
