This is our first stay in a BCV villa since the renovation and there is nothing "beachy" about the villa. It looks like any generic studio across the country with an extremely modern format. Hate the silverly space-themed lamps and mirror trims. I do like the bluish walls but they do not make me think of a beach side villa.
Also, it has been a busy year so I have been off boards quite a bit. I did not realize they removed the DVD players (we brought movies), the clock (I do not have a "smart" phone) and the 12 cup coffee maker (4 cups are not enough). The location is still awesome but we won't be wasting points staying here unless they go back to the beach club theme. We can stay at the Swan using our SPG credits and enjoy the location at a much cheaper rate.
We have been spending a lot of time at Hilton Garden Inn (child in college, visiting her...) and I am sad to say, the rooms at the Garden Inn are nicer than what I am seeing here and they are more deluxe. Fluffy duvets, nice pillows, large rooms, good coffee.... DVC needs to take a look at quality along with saving money.
We are moving today to AKL and then OKW (yes, three moves in one visit). I am hoping the next two villas we stay in have maintained the original theme.
