Need help re: Marriott Cypress Harbour

[4forMe]

It looks like we may have the opportunity to travel to FL the week of Thanksgiving. I would like to stay at Cypress Harbour after researching the different Marriott resorts (DH is a Marriott rewards member).

For those of you that have stayed at Cypress, what buildings/area should we request? Our kids would be utilizing the pools and the basketball courts. Also, what type of foods do they have available on site? Do any of the pool areas offer food and beverages?

Thanks for any help.

Go here [http://www.marriottvacationclub.com...esorts/marriott-cypress-harbour/pdfs/map.pdf] for the resort layout map. As with most resort maps, this makes it look like a really big resort but it is easily walkable from any building to any of the resort amenities.

I'd recommend buildings 63, 64, or 65 for easiest access to both the recreation area and the pools. (We were in building 65 for two weeks recently and I thought the location was perfect). It's a short walk across the lake (there's even a bridge!) from the Island Pool to the Main Pool. Food and beverage (the Galley Grill, a Pizza Hut Express, convenience store/Starbucks coffee, and the Pavillion Bar) is only available at the complex that's above the main pool area.
Buildings 52 and 53 - on either side of the Clubhouse and Main Pool area were closed and undergoing what looked like a full refurbishment when we were there a couple of weeks ago but should be open later in the year, so those might be good choices as well.
Building numbers starting with five except for 57) and those up to building 65 have a view of the lake - though buildings 54, 56 and 56 have a somewhat limited view. I like those for a morning coffee out on the lanai.
