Ocean views are amazing for people, but people views are often terrible for the ocean, which mostly sees the bottom of feet and an excessive amount of Hawaiian-print board shorts. Don't let the sea out of your sight with today's Groupon to the Best Western Inn at Face Rock in Bandon. Choose between the following two options:

• For $140, you get a two-night stay for two people in a standard guest room, including complimentary breakfast and a $40 credit toward dinner (up to a $280 value).
For $295, you get a two-night stay for two people in an ocean-view suite, including complimentary breakfast and a $40 credit toward dinner (up to a $590 value).

The two-night stay valid with this Groupon must take place before December 30, 2011.

The Best Western Inn at Face Rock resides in an Oregonian coastal oasis that offers pristine ocean views, well-appointed rooms, oceanfront dining, and proximity to pristine golfing greens. Guests can stay for a weekend getaway in one of the standard guest rooms, festooned with a microwave, a refrigerator, and one king bed, two queen beds, or 63 beanbag chairs. Alternatively, ocean-view suites are accessorized to appease the senses with breathtaking ocean views, a fireplace, a private balcony, and a king-sized bed. When not enjoying their well-kept and fully house-trained rooms, visitors can take in the resort's amenities, including an indoor pool, spa, sauna, exercise room, and an exclusive contract with the sun to provide colorful displays every evening at dusk. Appetites can ramp up for dinner at Bandon Bill's Seafood Grill, which offers a multitude of menu options, including fresh Dungeness crab ($32), clam linguini ($16), and smoked rib eye ($25) in a wind-free, ocean-ogling setting.

The resort has deeded access to secluded beaches just across Beach Loop Drive, and resides in close proximity to some of Oregon's most artful golf courses (golf costs not included with today's deal). Old Bandon Golf Links, a nine-hole links-style course bordering the resort, is a perfect challenge for families and seniors. Golfers looking for a world-renowned experience should not miss Bandon Dunes, a true destination course bordering the Pacific coastline and kept up by a team of human-friendly seabirds. The city of Bandon also has its own small-town charm for gaggles of guests; visitors should refer to the local-events page for a list of upcoming attractions.
