I would contact your travel agent and get confirmation of ocean front if this is what you paid for and is what you are expecting. Even if you do not get an ocean front, this resort will exeed your expectations. One word of caution, there is not much of a nightlife there in our opinion, especially for those travelling with small children, so be prepared to watch some TV, take walks down the same pathways as the night before, and generally drive yourself batty once the sun goes down. Of course if your a couple without little feet, I'm sure the experience is vastly different.......

Thanks for your response! It's just us, we're in our late 20s celebrating our 2nd anniversary. We don't mind romantic walks on the beach at night.
The club level, is that the royal club or something? I will email the travel agent. I have heard nothing but good things about Sandos (except that the a la carte food restaurants are not so good). Did you guys eat at them? I am picky so buffet always works well for me anyway.
Was there any food there you absolutely loved? What about beach chairs/palapas? Are they hard to come by if you don't get there early? Or, is it hard to get a palapa but beach chairs are always there?
I'd love to upgrade to the Royal Club but I'll have to see the cost first. I'm sure it's worth it but I have to convince my husband.
