There are several discussions in this thread about the BBs. General consensus seems they have inconvenient layout and may attract flies/lizards. On the other hand, they're good for small kids.

Anyone stayed at beach bungalow? Is it too cheap accommodation? Is there a large part of beach in front of ?
I booked a 15 nights stay by points for August and with the new points requirement I wouldn’t like to re book at an higher kind of beach villa (I don’t like OW)
many thanks.

Mini bar
I see the mini bar menu in the wiki. Can anyone explain or send a photo of the mini bar? We are deciding whether or not to go All inclusive and I was told that only drinks included in the mini bar are free for consumption in the room and I will need to purchase anything else that I would like in the room. I realize it gets replenished on day 4. Also, can you have items swapped for free? In example remove all Coke for Diet Coke. Remove vodka for Bacardi blanco.
TIA

I found photos online. Can anyone who has signed up for all inclusive confirm that you get everything you see in the photos? Also, are the non alcoholic items replenished every day?

There's a long row of beach bungalows (BBs) facing the beautiful beach (between the Sunrise OWB and Velaa), not sure if those are the base BBs or fancier. Hardly anyone uses the beach whenever we walked by.
There are several discussions in this thread about the BBs. General consensus seems they have inconvenient layout and may attract flies/lizards. On the other hand, they're good for small kids.

based on the resort map the beach bungalow are just located in the Nord east part of the island.
but maybe I’m wrong

For anyone that has done a cash upgrade, did you notice the charge both service charge and tax on the cash amount? I understand if upgrading directly through the hotel they quote as ++ but on marriott.com the charge appears as inclusive of service charge, and it doesn't seem to add the same tax %.
Anyone else experience these charges on upgrades done at time of booking, over and above the amount quoted by marriott?
Curious what others saw. TIA
