HGVC Marbrisa - new building 80

[SmithOp]

Enjoying a staycation at Marbrisa today and noticed a couple of things.

- The new Sheraton is open with a new restaurant, 7 Mile. Enjoyed a few frosted barley brews and a brick oven pizza. It overlooks the new pool with sunset view. The pool is not as big as Marbrisa Cove pool but has a couple of slides and zero entry side. 15% discount for Marbrisa guests but no room charge, its a Marriott operation.

- Buildings 60/61 have 4 floors which deviates from the other Cove buildings which have only 3.

- There is a new building 80 in operation now, right at the highest point behind the Westin hotel in the Pointe (upper right). I snooped around a little, it has underground parking and a walking path down to the Pointe pools and facilities. Very nice ocean view from the top of the ridge.

- Still no building on pads 62/63/64 in the Cove, wonder why they built 80 before them?

I love 61 top floor. Stayed there last vacation. Going this weekend. Hopefully will get the in the 60s Building.

We were in building 68 in the Cove and absolutely loved that location. On one day, we drove to the Pointe pool and did a wine glass painting activity. That pool is sooo quiet because there is no piped in music. I guess I got used to the music and vibe at the Cove pool, that I would not like staying in the Pointe neighborhood. Some people may enjoy sitting at the pool and reading a book, then the Pointe pool would be a good choice.

Building 80 looks like a tough sell. Other than views, it's location is not that appealing.

Need any help putting towels on every pool chair at 6 Am?

Wasn’t busy at all, even at 5pm when all the families came streaming out of Legoland. It could have been the scintillating tunes of the Johnson Brothers live from 4:30-6:00, Jonas Brothers they weren’t.

Costco had a 3 day LL hopper pass for $80, a bargain.
