Actual Owner! - Marriott Beautiful Ocean Front Villas- 2bdr/2bath sleeps 8+1

Chris's point is well taken in that the Marriott controls inventory location at their own discretion; they do no always have the ability to service all requests precisely. I have stayed in the exact same unit that Chris describes and found the view beautiful of the ocean and of the sunset. It is true that if I looked right, instead of left at the ocean, I did see the parking structure. Once I learned of Chris's concerns, I made every attempt to work with the Marriott to accommodate, but as the resort was full, nothing could be done. Chris and I agreed to a compensation as an attempt to mitigate the issue, which was made immediately. I do feel that the commentary was unfair, especially since Chis was compensated for his concerns. The measure of an organization is how they respond to problems. Chris apparently did not understand the reason for a price differential between Ocean Front and Ocean View.

The Marriott retains final placement decisions, although they make every attempt to satisfy requests. All of the Villas are very well appointed and maintained to Marriott standards. Very glad that you had a happy vacation in this resort which is the most sought after resort in the Marriott sysem.

Thank you; this resort is one of the most sought after in the world. All timeshare owners are restricted to 7 day contracts with a Fri, Sat or Sun check-in (date allocations are committed a year in advance). Hence, adding additional days with "points" or any other means is virtually impossible.
