We stayed here during the renovation. We were skeptical before our vacation, but it was unfounded and actually really nice that there were so few people staying at the hotel. We have usually stayed in the Deluxe Oceanfront Rooms, but the Main Tower was being renovated during our stay. We ended up staying in a Beachfront Room which, while these rooms are going to be remodeled soon, was still nice. We were in a top floor room, and we loved the view and the privacy. Being able to sit on the balcony, watch the sunset and listen to the ocean was heavenly. Having all of the beach equipment available for rental, without having to pay additional fees, was another wonderful perk. We also loved the breakfast buffet. We didn't miss it a single day. If you get the breakfast buffet, the made to order omelets, home-made banana bread and POG juice are amazing. We are Titanium Elite for life so the breakfast buffet was free of charge for us. In addition, there are laundry facilities on the ground floor of the beachfront building which is also free and available for use. They even provide the Tide detergent and the Bounce dryer sheets. The only CONS that we can offer are the following. 1. The coffee in the restaurant is awful. They are apparently stuck with it until the renovation is done. We instead opted for espresso drinks which was way better. And 2. There is no adult pool area so if you go to the pool, expect kids having fun and making noise. While we love children, when we go away on vacation, just the two of us, we like a more "zen" experience and less children. However, I believe that once the renovation is done, there may be an adult only pool area which would be amazing, but I am not 100% certain of this.
