My opinion written in January:
MarBrisa - 2 BR Premier at the Pointe (2FX) - review, tips, and Q&A
The resort's amenities are fantastic. The pool at the Cove neighborhood is great - kids love the slide. There's also a ping-pong table in the Pointe neighborhood. I'm staying in 2 BR Premier at the Pointe villa 56. It's a great apartment - contemporary style with a couple upscale accents. A little dated here and there though, e.g. a makeshift cabinet where a Denon AV receiver is placed, with a noisy fan at the side, that is loose and can fall out any time. The fireplace didn't work on arrival - and the maintenance wasn't able to fix it during our stay. Light switches in the living room are badly designed - an electrician used regular switches, rather than 3-way switches, so you can't easily control the light. Towel warmer is a great addition. Nice balcony with a view on the ocean in the far. Housekeeping didn't meet 4-star expectations. The pullout sofa sheets weren't replaced (had to ask for a clean set of sheets for it) and some surfaces were dusty (the rails above the master bed, the light fixture above the dining table in the living room, etc). Not much is required to get it to 5/5 - basically, improve the housekeeping protocols to include a mandatory pullout sofa sheets replacement, an inspection of dust in less obvious spots, and an inspection of all in-room appliances and devices.
Tips:
1. Shuttle service between different locations at MarBrisa is great. Text the number on the shuttle stop sign, and they'll send a shuttle your way momentarily.
2. Legoland doesn't sell 2-day passes online. However, you can buy a second day pass for $30 per person at the gate (including the back gate). This Legoland isn't big, and you don't need two days to go through every attraction. One day is more than enough. We wanted to go anyway.
