Thanks for the trip review! It gave me a more complete picture. I looks like the outdoor areas are well done. And check-in as a FS is much better! The last time we went there as a JW - we were pushed off to be sold timeshare weeks - left without the room "ready" until we finally convinced them we were truly not interested in any way.
Earlier I thought you were in the smaller Jr. Suite. Now I think your first room was actually the smaller Jr. Suite (at least Marriott started calling it one. The bigger one next door was our favorite. Yours was slightly different than the normal configuration - prob. b/c it was ada. We always had a square dressing room before the actual bathroom. Sinks were across from each other.
I still think the new decor is worse. They had the same patio furniture - didn't notice that in the first pics, it looked different. I always think cabanas take up too much pool space and make it crowded but your pics make it seem very well done. All the grass space by the beach was not much utilized in the old set up.
Thanks again for the detail!!
