Wyndham View From the Balcony

I got my brother and nephew a 2BR Deluxe for the weekend starting tomorrow. They are going to the Supercross.

Curious if they will get a ocean front unit or not. The 2BR Deluxe units are a crap shoot if you will get city facing or beach facing.

We have been happy with our unit which was out of the north wind most of the week. Saturday was 89 degrees, Monday and Tuesday mid-50s days but a nice stay.

We were lucky to catch a cancelation a few weeks ago. It was nice to miss the big blizzard in New England.
 
Emerald Grande for Christmas with family. This is just part of the balcony in our 3 bedroom plus presidential reserve unit.

Curious -- were you upgraded to the presidential reserve unit? Several years ago, I was told by staff that there could be no upgrades to PR units at Emerald Grande. Different HOA or something like that.

Yes, we were but we're PR owners and I upgraded at the time of booking. The automatic upgrades from standard units to PR units don't work there and haven't for 4-5 years, might be longer. The Sunset Suites units will sometimes upgrade at the time of booking but sometimes won't. The East units upgrade for me. I haven't tried to see if the West units will or won't.
