As I tried accessing the Mvci website and it is down now, has anyone received their OP maintenance bill? If so when are fees due?
Still hoping to come in late February!

I tried viewing the bill tonight, and all I can see are the FAQ items, and the standard blurb sheet that usually comes with the bill. No bill, no date, no details about the bill - property tax, etc.

Also, I had been receiving emails about new info on TUG, and those suddenly stopped. I unwatched and watched again, requesting emails. We'll see if that works, but somehow, items are being changed without my requesting it.

OOPS - I was on the wrong page. I have now found the details.

Wondering if someone who is at the resort now would add some comments about what is open as far as activities food service , occupancy levels etc. Noticed quite a few rentals on various sites!
Thanks!

@tatmtr7 We haven’t been here before now, but I really don’t think it is full. Probably a good thing, looks like the pool lounges are spaced further away then I think is normal. There is an aqua stretch class Mon/ Wed/Fri and a daily aquaFit class. Kids have a choice of a tie dye or a Stuff a buddy kit activity. That is it for structured resort activities. All pools, spas, shuffle board, tennis courts, mini golf, grills, fitness center, etc are open and being used daily. The pool bar and grill is operating. Just bring a mask along; it is good etiquette to wear it while in enclosed areas for the time being. We spend a lot of time at the beach....it is gorgeous right now.

Dawn, thank you for taking the time from your vacation to report conditions at OP. I am thrilled that the aqua fit classes are in session. I am heading there at the end of January. Enjoy yourself.

We also just returned from OP. We were in Kingfish. They had actually cleaned our carpet before we checked into our room. So it was nice having clean carpet with our family. We had 8 in a 3 bedroom unit. I was pleased to see that the lounge chairs at the pool were not strapped together anymore, so you could move your individual lounge chair to follow the sun. Everyone was very polite and for the most part wore their mask. We would wear even our mask when we went to the bathrooms. You start out with clean pool towels in your room, but you have to call every day to get clean ones for the next day. There are no clean pool towels at Kingfish anymore in the laundry room, only a cart to put the dirty ones in. You can still get them at the hut, but they closed at 6 pm. As stated the bar and grill are open, but no bar chairs. We had a lovely time and look forward to our next visit to OP in another month.

Yes, thank you for giving a real picture of what it is like now at the resort! Still trying to decide if we should spend our usual 5-6 weeks there this year or just take the loss! Left 2 +weeks early last winter! This would be the first winter since the resort opened we may not stay! Keeping my fingers crossed that we come!

We did go out to eat, but at higher end places. We found that many places were at 100% capacity for dining. The higher end places left tables empty around your. We did do a lot of take out. We also cooked in. The grills were very busy because so many people were eating in. West Palm and City Place were busy with people walking around, some with masks and many with out. So we just avoided those areas. We went for walks every day, but walked on the streets not the walk ways, to busy. Chat back if you have any other questions. That was our 4th trip to OP since Memorial Week. We feel safe at OP.

We are here right now. Similar experiences as indicated above. I would estimate the resort at around 30-40% capacity based on the number of lights I see on in the buildings at night. We also got a really good, 5th floor end unit on an Interval trade which would NEVER happen normally. I went down yesterday morning at about 10:30 AM and was able to get two lounge chairs and a couple of regular chairs without any problem - again that would NEVER happen at full capacity.

We've eaten out once over at Two Drunken Goats, on Monday at lunch. We were one of like three tables and we at outside. Staff were wearing masks.

All staff members at OP are wearing masks and are doing a good job enforcing mask-wearing indoors for guests.

when we visited last month, the manager said they were at 80% capacity.

i did not believe that at all given the parking lots themselves couldnt have been more than 50% full during our stay. (at least at our building)

We are beginning our second week; the weekend is busier than the weekdays. There was bingo at the pool Thurs, and a dj playing music yesterday. Our grandkids have been loving the pools, and we took them to the Lion Country Safari as @TUGBrian suggested in his review. A very worthwhile excursion. We will have good memories here; this vacation has been a good escape.

Yeah it seemed a ton busier today than last week. Elevators took a lot longer, more people around.

We had lunch at Sailfish and waited 20 minutes for an outdoor table at 11:30 AM, so clearly it's pretty busy around here.

Questions concerning sales/info presentations at OP -

1. Are they in person or online?
2. What is the incentive offered this month?

Thanks

Does anyone have an email contact for the board? We are talking with several Members about Marriott management concerns (not at the Resort they are awesome) that we would like the board to address. Thanks
