2. STV - I liked how compact and everything is so close, though it reminded me more of a regular hotel than a resort
4. Moxche - just got back over July 4th. I would recommend it here. There were no issues with getting chairs and as a Globalist, I was upgraded to preferred club. There are so many different pools and never felt crowded. I did find the selection of alcohol to be poor. Plus it wasn't too far from the airport, from pickup from the resort to the airport gate was 55 mins.
Thanks - leaning towards Moxche, just the extra 80-90 minutes of being shuttled around is a bit of a turnoff. Not Glob so I don't anticipate anything other than a minor upgrade.
We prefer to use Hyatt points as the value is definitely there. I'll avoid Secrets PM and look at Moxche, although Riviera is really appealing to me given the Breathless association if we do decide to be in a party mood and the Preferred Club upgrade.
