Trip Review

Just completed a 5 night award stay as a Plat here. Overall is was a great experience. I've tried to break it down into sections so I don't ramble:
General - $27/night parking fee, $25/day resort fee. Its a big convention hotel but you rarely would notice unless a group all went to the bar at the same time.
Room - we were upgraded to a ocean front room. Gorgeous views, quiet, very nice room in general. Ask to "rent" a mini fridge - I was told it was $25/stay but it was comped for us.
Restaurants - The Sea Level restaurant/bar is a 100 yard uncovered walk from the hotel lobby - great food(trust me and get the grouper Rueben sandwich), decent happy hour prices. The main bar/restaurant literally reopened last week. We never ate there due to typical overpricing and weird menu items. There is also a breakfast/lunch place that does carryout - $8 egg sandwich is the best deal there.
Spa - we were given unlimited access because they don't have a lounge or free breakfast policy. Great little private pool, indoor locker rooms. Actual spa services were overpriced and their massages were not great.
Pool - huge pool area with plenty of chairs/umbrellas. We were only Sunday through Thursday but it never felt busy at all.
Beach - beautiful and private.
Other - take a $6 uber down A1A to Cocunuts or Casablanca Café for a great afternoon/night.
