JIMCHI, Yes, I am referring to the Marriott Vacation Club Villas - a misnomer because they are actually a high rise. While they are technically across the street from the beach, the ocean view from your room is completely unobstructed and there is an underground tunnel that connects the hotel and shopping area to the beach, so it's not a big deal. The beach is NOT private but is typically not too crowded. The rooms are beautifully decorated and fully furnished.
