If you are not a DVC its nearly impossible to stay here in the summer. My guess is that it's completely booked at this point. If its not, its a nice resort but its not on the beach. They do have a beach club that it is though. The island is small and mainly condos, its very family oriented. Of the hotels there are only 5 that are beachfront. The westin, omni, crown plaza, marriott and holiday inn. I have stayed at all except the marriott. My favorite is the westin, then omni (currently going through a multimillion $ refurb), the crown plaza then holiday inn. I love the westin for its location and had a great customer service experience there. ( my son spiked a fever about 3 am, when i called to see where the nearest drug store was, they got security to open the gift shop and brought me the tylenol. Also i was never charged for it(probably a mistake). The omni has kitchenettes which are nice and i'm interested to see what the remodel will be like. Overall i love the island and highly recommend it to anyone. Oh and I dont love the holiday inn because its right beside the public beach and gets really busy.
