I just stayed at this property for one night on a $125 AAA rate for the studio suite. I waved around my SPG Platinum status a bit and got an upgrade from the 4th floor studio suite to a 2nd floor 1 BR Suite in building 2 ocean view. The view was a little obstructed with palm trees but still quite nice. I wasn't able to check in until 3:15 though.

They said I could either have 750 starpoints or breakfast buffet for two. I took the breakfast and it was pretty awesome. Try the mini Belgian waffles and free Bloody Marys or Mimosas. Mmmmmm.

The default check out is 10 AM (!) but we went down about 11 after we ate breakfast and asked as a platinum what late checkout we could get and they gave us until 3 PM which worked out well with our flights.

I really liked the property and would stay here again. The wifi as everyone has mentioned doesn't really work well at all. Bring a mini router / access point if it is critical for you to tap into the wired internet in the room.
