I am staying there in early August for 2 nights (using the free weekend promos that I earned).
After reading these reviews, they seem to take very good care of Plats, and Golds have mixed results. I'm a Gold.

They gave me a "Wonderful" room with limited view, so I guess I'll wait and see what that entails.

I'll keep hoping for an upgrade, but plan on spending most of the time outdoors anyway, so not a big deal if it doesn't happen.

I have to say the pictures on the website look amazing and I am really looking forward to staying here.

You can park in my driveway, a couple of miles away - I'll only charge $16! :D :D

Most W's have some sort of stuffed thing on the bed. It was a croc or alligator. It was cute in a South Florida kind of way!

The gator normally holds the TV remote in its mouth.

It's even so cute, that my girlfriend insists we take the 45$ gator home whenever we stay there ...

parking-

I was there for 5 days a couple weeks ago, a buddy of mine was staying at a smaller hotel a couple of blocks away. The manager let me park my car there for $5/night gigisresort.com 954-463-4827.

I am checkign in tonight. My SPG.com shows being upgraded to a Fantastic Suite! :-D Room was one night C&P and 3 nights of Free Weekend redemption

3 months later since my problematic stay and long letter and still no response from the GM. Indicative of how this property is run imo.

Flyinace2000 Aug 20, 2010 7:43 am

Question for those who know the area.

I don't have a car while I am here. Where can i grab some cheap eats (lunch) within walking distance.

Flyinace2000 Aug 20, 2010 10:04 am

Video walk through of a fantastic suite.

IIRC, that is a handicapped accessible room. I dont like that this room is directly above the pool and you can hear every damn sound. :td:

Flyinace2000 Aug 20, 2010 12:11 pm

Yeah it is above the pool (and handicap accessible), but i can't hear a thing when inside the room. I don't find this room to be obviously handicap accessible as some other rooms i have stayed in. For example their is a normal shower head and not the crap-tastic adjust able ones. Would a suite like this be nicer on a high floor, yeah probably but i wouldn't turn this one down.

Over the weekend, while the pool party is taking place, it's annoying! Borderline maddening.
