We also own in the north tower, but recently (April 5-12) stayed in the south tower. As was posted by MWD, the south tower is about 1 to 1.5 years old and everything was in perfect working order. All units have an "ocean view" If you are requesting a particular unit in the south building request one that ends in a 4 for a two bedroom i.e. 604A or a 5 for a one bedroom unit as these are the closest of "ocean front" as possible. Also request at least the 5th floor for a better view.
As for the north building, they are working on the whole exterior and the top two floors on the interior. The front elevator was marked "closed for construction."
Be sure to check out the free stuff. They had a welcome continental breakfast/info session on Monday, free Sangria Party on Monday, free Margarita party on Tuesday (both down at the Grand Seas Resort with free transportation shuttle) and free Smirnoff Ice in the owners lounge on Wednesday from 11-1pm. They also had a cookout by the pool with hotdogs, etc for sale on Sunday and Wednesday and pizza on Tuesday.
It was a great week. Enjoy.
