The bungalows seem more intimate, and I think my husband would love the option to just walk out the patio on down to the beach. I'm concerned about foot traffic and noise from the pool at the bungalow. Any advice/thoughts would be appreciated!
Oh, that is a dilemma. We have stayed in the 2 bedroom oceanfront suite, and let me say it is pretty amazing. The balconies are amazing and the people watching from above is awesome. Sunset from the balcony. Ocean view from in bed or in the shower. These are located just near the beach elevators, so it's such an easy ride down and you're practically at the beach.
Having said that, it's my dream to try the bungalow. I have not. I think you could request a bungalow that is not adjacent to the pool, with the pathway on the otherside of the main pool. I do think the bungalow foot traffic is very, very minimal on that side and there are signs that mention those pathways are for bungalow guests only.
We did run into a guest the last time we were there, who was staying in the bungalow, and he said he stayed for many years in the oceanfront suite and thought it was the best on the property until he stayed in the bungalow. Now he exclusively stays in the bungalow. He said "it's only $700 more per night."
Split stay?
