Here are this week's photos showing the progress of the renovations at the Cypress Pointe Resort Clubhouse's first floor lobby and public restrooms:

Nothing new this week on the M/L/S (RALPH) Building, as the final inspections are underway and upon approval the move will begin from the old Laundry building.

Best regards,

I can see it now. Stu & John & Chris & Gaston & Co. all are assembled for the Grand Opening. Commendatory words are spoken. Hands are shaken all round. Giant scissors snip the ceremonial ribbon. And a Bronze Plaque near the cornerstone is unveiled that says...
R. A. L. P. H. ​

Alan - As you may know all the CPR/CPGV buildings are named "Something" Cay to keep with the Caribbean theme. I think RALPH Cay will fit right in, don't you?
 
A Good Fit For Sure.

I've got it !

On the Bronze Plaque, the lettering can say...
R. A. L. P. H. K.​

-- Alan Cole, McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA. ​
 
I have access...

to cheap bronze plaques.... I could bring it down when I am staying there in April... hehehehehe
 
If Not Out Front...

...where owners & guests might find it semi-puzzling, then at least inside the building somewhere semi-conspicuous, for the benefit of HOA & staff -- an "inside" joke, literally.

Naming rights

Maybe we could emulate the new Newark Arena which will be known as the Barclay's Arena for the modest naming rights fee of $20 million/year for 20 years.

Maybe we could then attract another Bank to buy the naming rights. I can see it now, and how appropriate: Key Bank Cay

Maybe even put in one of their ATMs on the outside wall!

OK, any bidders?

Best regards,
Stu

P.S.

My other ideas were:
Volcano Cay, Lava Cay, Paradise Cay, Eden Cay, Francis Scott Cay <just joking>: Black Pearl Cay (for Disney/Pirate fans); Calypso Cay, Parrot Cay, Macaw Cay, Charlie Cay, or the obvious Cypress Cay.

I need a toll free telephone number for Cypress Pointe Resort front desk?

Thanks for any assistance in this matter.
 
Check The Web Site.

There's a toll-free number for the (off-site) reservation desk, but I'm not sure if the resort itself has a toll free number -- maybe, maybe not. You can mouse around the official Cypress Pointe web site if you want & check.

The 800 line was discontinued

Pedro - No, there is not. We canceled that in 2002 when we were in cost cutting mode and reviewing every contract that we had we discovered that many (most?) owners now have long distance included in their home service, cell phone or pay far less per minute than we could get with an 800 number service. We do have an 800 for the bill payment.
 
M/L/S (RALPH) Bldg opens; Clubhouse Lobby floor installed

From the Association Prez, John Chase:

"The lobby work took a big step toward completion over the weekend as
the marble floor is installed (except one small strip around the front
doors - the new doors have to be installed before that area can be
finalized). The carpet is also close to completion.

The RALPH building opened at 1:30PM today (Monday, 1/21). The move of the various
departments into their new home is now underway. The first laundry run
is expected to be done in the new laundry area tomorrow morning.
Testing and training on the new equipment is currently underway. "


Much progress has been made since my last update posting. Check it out if you'd like at:

Thanks for the update. We will be staying at CYP for two consective weeks(our check-in date is 01/27) & (the second week we will be in the Grand Vilas).
 
Stu and John the lobby area is completed and it is awesome !! The decor is similar to CYP I and that decor looks great.

Also, the new white roof line on the buildings looks very nice. Striking I must say!!!
 
Whoa! Looks Great. What About That R.A.L.P.H. Bronze Plaque ?

Son & daughter-in-law & grandson will have a chance to check it all out in person next month when they're over at Cypress Pointe Grandevillas (Phase Two) right across the street.

Not sure how soon The Chief Of Staff & I will be able to eyeball all the new stuff up close & personal -- maybe not till Thanksgiving 2007, maybe not till our Cypress Pointe Phase One EEY week rolls round in 2008.

Shucks, I wish we were there right now.

Thanks for the on site report. I can't wait to see it but it won't be until late March. We just got some new photos in that include various shots from the lobby.

That was too simple, so when the developers moved on to Phase Two, they made up for it by offering lots more floating deeded ownership options -- 3 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 1 bedroom, & all kinds of various oddball UDIs that no doubt work fine in Club SunTerra but that may or may not translate to a full week at the resort when resold & used independently outside Club SunTerra. Plus, all those come in the every-year version as well as alternate-year versions, both odd-year & even-year. I don't know whether they sold any "triangle" ownerships at Phase Two -- you know, where the owner's week or UDI comes up every 3rd year.

For folks looking into buying resale, the moral to the story is to be sure to find out ahead of time exactly what's being offered.

Regarding Floating Diamond Weeks & Floating Emerald Weeks at Phase One & Phase Two, as a practical matter the Diamond Week owners can raid Emerald Time whenever they want, subject to availability. Emerald Weeks owners can get Diamond Time by paying a little something extra, also subject to availability.

Automatic Doors.

Whoa! The new entry looks like it has automatic self-opening sliding doors.

Staff Downsize?

Indeed, it has! (They self-close, too. <g>)

Then I guess it's goodbye to the uniformed doorman on duty right there at the main entrance.

Volcano improvements and more construction

The CPR Volcano pool has had new volcano water sprays and new lighting installed. The new "eruptions" are not as high and with less spray so as to reduce heat loss in the pool, while still giving the volcano eruption illusion. The attached link will show the new water flow and lighting, which is especially impressive at night.

The link also shows additional construction around the new MLS Bldg including the start of the new external access driveway, and also the new stucco work to Bldg 5 which was adjacent to the now demolished laundry facility that the MLS has replaced.
