I just returned after spending 3 nights in standard, then 2 nights in value. The main difference is size. I think the value studio would be a little tight for more than 2 people. Sorry-I took pictures, but DH has to show me how to download them, and he won't be home for a couple more days. The views were both pool view-actually, I think the view from the value studio was a little nicer. Both were very close to an elevator that went right down to the pool (standard was 1 room away, value 2 rooms away). In the value studio, the bed was right next to the sliding door. I'll post photos when I can, hopefully by the weekend.
