I read on Flyertalk about the Marriott Marco Island Resort being renovated and re-branded as a JW Resort. Sounds good. My question is about the MVC property at Marco Island. It was newsworthy a few years ago but I've read nothing on it in a while.

Just booked a week at Crystal Shores in November. They are undergoing construction expanding the property until 2017 but from recent reviews it doesn't sound too bothersome. It's somewhere I've always wanted to visit, but have found Crystal Shores hard to get in to. It looks gorgeous and gets awesome reviews so I'm excited! We were able to purchase a "special" 3 night getaway direct from Marriott for $399, and added another night with destination points and another paying the cash rate through Marriott.com - $369! Waiting for some availability to open for that night so I can use destination points instead!

I just got back from Marco Island. The Marriott hotel is closed and under major construction. I spoke to someone and can confirm that it will reopen as a J.W. Marriott (I forgot when).

I only heard construction noise at the grotto pool. However they were moving plants around in the dunes and that started at 8am the last couple of mornings were there . We heard the beeping of the equipment backing up very clearly on the 7th floor.

I have pictures of the construction but they are too large too upload. When I have more time I'll try and find a way to upload them.

The hotel is supposed to reopen in August. We have been to CRystal Shores for the last two years and love it! It's a great property with a wonderful staff. Please let me knowm if you have any specific questions.
