We usually go to Oceana Palms (OP) each year during Spring Break. We have enough points for an Ocean Front unit at OP and have always been very happy there, and the view is spectacular.

Just to change things up a bit, we are looking into to go to Crystal Shores (CS) in 2017. Our Ocean Front points at OP only get us a Gulf Side unit at CS (we don't have enough points for an Ocean Front unit at CS).

How are the views for the Gulf Side units and Gulf View units at Crystal Shores? Anything in particular we should request or avoid?

Thank you!

Request 7 stack, high floor. These units are unobstructed (except possibly by trees on floor 2 & 3). Don't forget to visit the gym - gulf front on the top floor. Enjoy your coffee on the balcony!

Thanks so much. Quick question -- what does "7 stack" mean?

Room numbers xx7y, corner units closest to the beach.

I may have misremembered the numbering scheme - more likely to be xx07.
