Beach Club Deluxe Rooms, Suites, VP and Presidential Rooms

[vicki_c]

OK - just determined that new Photobucket basically sucks. Doing some Googling, I found other DIS threads with people complaining about the same thing. My photos are already uploaded there and the only choices are going to be giant or tiny thumbnails. No happy medium on PB that I can see. I hate the thumbnails because they are so small, but those full size ones are ridiculous.

What say you, BC Deluxe Rooms, Suites, VP and Presidential Rooms readers?
This:


or this:

Foyer/Entryway from double entry doors

Interesting. On my laptop, those photos are two vastly different sizes. On the mobile DIS app, they look the same, both thumbnail sized. But I can click on them and get a bigger version that fills my iPad screen.

So, after 18 months (!!), I'm finally going to post some photos of the Newport Suite at the Beach Club. This could take a while!


LOL - okay that is giant! I have to go look at those Photobucket options for small/medium/large - they changed Photobucket around and I don't know how to do anything anymore. You definitely don't want all my photos that large!

By the way Dee - I didn't realize you were both beachclubdee and natebenma! Very tricky.

Sorry about the issues you are having with Photobucket or as I was calling it, #%&*itbucket. I worked through them, but the changes they made were extremely frustrating!!!

I like the larger pictures better than the smaller ones.

I never did entirely solve the issue of resizing pictures in my account. I found a way and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. So I ended up re-uploading a bunch of pictures in the size I wanted. Believe it or not, the site has vastly improved since the winter "upgrade"

If you still have the pictures on your computer or other easily accessible media, and you want to email them to me, I can upload them to this thread.
The email address I use for DIS "business" is the clever beachclubdee at yahoo dot com

The BeachClubDee screen name came about for a couple of reasons- one, I have major screen name remorse. I hastily chose the natebenma before I had any idea how active I would be on the DIS and particularly the BC/YC forum. Then I maxed out my PM slots, so this other account helps (although I have since maxed that one out too)

But it is a pain to go back and forth between the two accounts, so I remain, mostly, natebenma.

Looking good ladies! I haven't been on the BC thread in months...but have fond memories of the time I spent there! (on the thread as well as at the BC!! )

Yes photobucket is FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vicki_c]

OK - large photos it is. Sorry if that aggravates anyone!

One side of foyer:

Powder room on opposite side of foyer:

Cute towel animals we got one day:

Moving on to the dining room -

Close-up of china cabinet:

Dining room looking towards food prep area / back hallway:

Live plants all over the suite:

Galley/pass-through area at end of dining room:

More to come!

 

[vicki_c]

This is just the backside of that galley passthrough that leads around a corner to a food prep type area and door to hallway:

Fridge - not very exciting!

This is that back area - used for food prep I would guess. It has no running water though, which I thought was so odd (guess your personal servants can handle that pesky detail for your dinner party).

Heaven - Keurig with lots of coffee and tea choices!

Bedroom #2 - off dining room:

More bedroom:

Pretty chest of drawers in bedroom:

Bedroom looking towards room with daybed and bathroom:

Sink area shared by bedroom #2 and day bed room:

And bathroom next to it:

Double deluxe Spa items in the suites:

Area with daybed and desk. Doors here lead to a balcony.

Looking down hallway towards hall door, next to daybed room. Large closet on left of hallway.

Closet with robes:

This is the same hallway, looking the other direction:

Moving on ...

here is the living room which is across the foyer from the dining room:

One corner of living room:

Fireplace:

Other corner of living room:

 

[vicki_c]

As you leave the living room, you cross this hallway with a separate entrance to the outer hallway:

This is looking into the Master Bedroom from that hallway:

Master Bedroom - which contains what I refer to as the "George Clooney bed". That's what I was told. There was also some mention of Mariah Carey and Rita Moreno, I think - but I only care about my boyfriend George.

Another shot of the bed I found on my Flickr account:

View from other side, looking toward Master Bath. Doors on left lead to another balcony. That balcony looks across the BC back entrance to the VP suite - I could tell from the previous photos of that suite.

Master bathroom with spa tub and shower:

Vanity area with flat screen TV:

Maybe a better view of the bathroom:

Water closet area, including bidet:

Shower - looks like the VP one, I believe:

Now, some views!

This is the view from the Master Bedroom balcony, looking towards Stormalong Bay:

More of the same:

View from the front balcony, which runs the length of the suite in front of the living room & dining room windows:

More of the same (sorry for the crooked skyline!)

Beach Club volleyball court:

View of courtyard from the balcony outside the daybed room:

More from the day bed room balcony:

Lastly, just some outdoor photos looking up at the suite, just to get a feel for how truly ginormous it is.

The 3 lighted windows at the top are all the Newport suite master bedroom/bathroom:

The 5 windows at the top here are the width of the suite - bedroom, living room, dining room, bedroom (it's the width of this whole section of the resort that sticks out towards Crescent Lake).

Those 2 lit windows are the 2nd bedroom and the day bed room door:

I think I have some more photos that are different (maybe better, not sure) in my Flickr account. If I find some, I will come back and add them.

We had a GREAT video but at the moment we can't find it. My husband says he saved it somewhere when Apple ended the MobileMe accounts, but at the moment it is MIA. I will definitely post that if I can find it.

And thanks to Neil at the BC concierge for hooking us up with this amazing room!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting these!!!

Congrats on the upgrade. What a nice way to experience that suite

Syndrome provided this picture of where the X557 Deluxe rooms are located at the Beach Club.

I'll have BeachClubDee add this to the front of the post soon.

Thanks for this great thread! It is hard to find info on the Deluxe rooms.

I am trying to decide which room to request for our March stay. 4557 seems to be the best option as we would like a full balcony. Am I correct? Does anyone have photos of that room?

 

[PolyAddict]

According to the room number map for BC. There looks like an elevator right near the X557 deluxe rooms. Is that accurate? Will it take you to the 5th floor?

thanks

As far as I know, there is only one bank of elevators and you access the 5th floor by putting your room key in a slot in the elevator.

No, that part of the resort only has 4 floors. You have to walk through the winding halls out to the lobby elevator, then take that up to the 5th floor. That was the only downside to the Deluxe room in that area! You can use that elevator right by the rooms to get down to the pool.

thanks! Once off the elevator is the lounge right there?
