I still think it's a great deal for 60K points, but depending on when you're going a private hot tub may not be useful and you may end up using the main resort amenities anyway.
So glad you shared! That’s very useful to know. You’re right: it’s still an excellent value on points even without the pool. But I’ll hope that my Ambassador status may get me “downgraded” to the lower level unit with the private pool! (I’ll be there for conference, so not sure it will make too much difference in the end. But like a condom, I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.)
