I have been at Frenchman’s Cove this week and thought I would share some notes with everyone, especially those coming here in the near future. The weather has been near perfect, with showers only one day.
We are in Building 1, which is on the bottom level and on the left side offers a great view of the harbor. We also are in room 6 which, while having the corner balcony, has noisy AC units on the ground below it. Room 1 on any floor probably has the best corner balcony, unless you are in building 2 (also on the bottom level) which is next to the new construction. I will say that the construction noise this week is far less than last year as the only work going on is the building on the other side of the pool. Don’t know what building it is, but it looks like they are now working on the 4th floor (out of 6?). We were told this building would be ready in the summer of 2009 (right now that seems to be ambitious).
On the upper level they are just about finished the building that will house the check in (which is currently in building 1). Until yesterday the pavement in front of the entrance was blocked off with tape, which was removed probably Thursday. We came back from St. John’s yesterday evening and saw someone who had pulled in there thinking it was the check in, so I would expect it to open anytime now. This new building will also have several 3 BR units.
The only glitch that I have experienced has been power loss in building 1 twice, for about 30 mins each. The problem for everyone else was that the satellite and internet were based in that building, so everyone was affected. But not a big issue to me personally.
Current pricing for 2 BR:
Plat Plus – President’s $49,400
Plat Plus – Holiday $47,400
Plat Plus – New Years $52,400
Plat - $36,100
Gold - $27,100 (points only 2008/2009)
Silver - $21,100 (points only 2008/2009)
3 BR pricing:
Plat Plus – President’s $76,200 (occupancy 2010)
Plat Plus – Holiday $72,700
Plat Plus – New Years $78,700
Plat - $48,900
Gold – sold out
Silver – sold out
