I'm just having fun. I'm quite sure that he us as much of a Saint as you.
I think of you as the "old soul" of the forum. Kind as can be with not an ill word for anyone.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation and I will have to put the "old" talk to rest for a bit.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

J.D.,
That's exactly what I was thinking! I thought it was some type of Special Concierge service that was contracted. And such a great way to repurpose the "Old Guy"

Now, now, enough of the old comments... Most of us here are, ahem, older than we used to be..

Correct. Both pat and Carol are older than me, even though pat referred to me earlier as an "oldster".

Beachside is right by the airport. Go to Sunset Bar and Grill and immediately before you go through the gate to go into Alegria, make a left. Travel by the fence to the airport for a few hundred feet, and make the first left. Go all the way to the end of that road and that's where Beachside is.

Pat I have stayed at Beachside several times, but never got the butler. I guess You have to pay a lot extra for him. Next time I stay there, I will ask for the special butler service and see what they say. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> I like his uniform too! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

As of now, TV in the main room and a/c only in the main room. No laundry facilities. There is daily maid service though, so I'm sure if you talk to one of them, they will do laundry for an extra fee.

We stay just on the other side of Mary's Boon and find it to be absolutely perfect.
The units are half the distance to the water as are the units at BSV, the decks are quite large and the units have full kitchens with central AC. We always stay in a ground floor 2 bedroom.
To me, probably about the best units on the island with the best beach area.

Sorry, the units are closer to the water than Beachside? Sometimes the sand comes and goes and possibly the unit would be TOO close? Regardless, glad you found your nirvana. I've found mine. What's the name of the complex?

Our next door neighbors, Sky Chief here on TTOL, invited us in to take a peek at their upgraded unit. It really is lovely and feels so much roomier with all that Atrium space as a dining room. And like us, they're not big airco fans but they pointed out the new unit intended to serve the main area of the suite. That plus the new countertops give it a whole new flair, and thank you, Lou and Lucy for sharing it with us. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

I have known about this for a while now, but my understanding was that Drew wanted it to be kept in confidence until all the units had been completed. I have seen pictures of the renovated units and they are lovely..

Coco's Beach Club, literally right next door to Mary's Boon.
I know that everyone has their Nirvana, and I agree with you that most people have found their own. It's sort of like the pizza discussion, everyone has their likes.

As I said, I knew it would be posted sooner or later. I think most people will LOVE the changes. In the evening, it will be nice to be able to close up the sliders, turn on the a/c and watch TV in the living room without sweating to death! Once it gets after dark, I don't feel comfortable in the living room with the doors open. My only issue is that I am a bit concerned about whether it's going to be tough to grill now, as we grill out a lot. I just hope it won't be too crowded on the deck. ..and of course there is the question of the rates. I suspect the rates in summer will go up. I always thought the summer rates were low, compared to the winter rates.

Yes, we'll have to see on the prices, for sure. Thanks for the info on the grill, as that is very important to me. Where EXACTLY were the grills?

I think they were on the opposite side from the stairs against the wall and railing. My husband said some may have been around that same area and could be moved where you wanted it. Hope that helps.

Carol the grill is on the deck, sideways flush against the wall toward the railing. Our friends grilled steaks for us last month with no issues.

Carol_Hill said: OK, thanks. That makes sense. I was thinking, Carol, that if you are going soon, you may be in a unit that is not updated yet. We will wait for your reports.... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

We're not going until June, but I think, as of now, our unit will not be renovated. We normally like to be very close to the pool and by the time we booked, everything close to the pool was booked, so I'm more bummed about being further away from the pool.
