The Ocean West is a WONDERFUL stay, BUT you basically need a car (or take a LOT of taxis). It's a beautiful modern take on an old mansion style, with AMAZING views of the Ocean (especially from pool patio and breakfast balcony).
But it is relatively inconveniently located if you don't have a car. Myself and my partner were able to walk to a restaurant or two, but it was a little dicey. They only do breakfast at the hotel (although good and cheap).
It's doable without a car, but I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you are OK with taking a taxi both ways every day, anywhere. They do provide a somewhat more affordable taxi service themselves, although it can be limited.
The hotel is perfect if you're trying to get away from the resorts and hustle and bustle, but RENT a car, or just be OK with lots of taxis. Probably about the same cost in the end.
