A couple things I've noticed since our last visit in Aug 2005.
The resort is in great shape.
The Marketplace Pizza oven didn't look like it was being used. I never asked since, we like Brick Oven Pizza.
It was much more crowded this time around. Lots of chair hogs but you could always find a chair. In fact, one day we saw some pool crashers. They used the pool and then, instead of getting their own towels wet they grabbed some off a chair of person saving the chair.
There is no longer a kid's club for babysitting but this might be the case at all Marriotts. They did have Maze activities.
One of the pools was labelled as the quiet pool.
The week prior we stayed at the Westin in Princeville and I noticed Marriott provided more supplies like extra paper towels, 7 dishwasher packets, toilet paper (we ran out at the Westin as we got 2 rolls for the entire week in a one bedroom), etc..
The ocean is definitely rougher this time of year. One day my 7 year old couldn't even handle the waves. Oh, don't step on the rocks out there not all of them are rocks (some are sea turtles).
We ate at the bar twice (food just okay). We did the breakfast buffet on the last day and it was perfect. We ate dinner in the restaurant as well and definitely not worth it but convenient as it was pouring down rain. They even had entertainment.
Per the sales person there are 1000 weeks left. We did not do the tour.
Anyways... any more questions let me know.
