A friend of mine stayed at this JW last month. The lounge is back to normal, compared to last December when I stayed there. There are more hot entries to make a dinner in the lounge. Breakfast is on first floor (above ground floor). It is very nice. Sheraton Grand had slightly better breakfast and happy hour when I stayed there last December. JW is more centrally located, if you are upgraded to ocean front room, you will certainly enjoy the stay. We had three one-night stays, interior room, ocean view room and suite, respectively. The interior room was depressing. Fortunately, we only spent a few hours there before moving to Sheraton Grand. The other two nights were before and after flying to Florianopolis.
