renting stuff at BCVs/wall thickness

[pixiedust23]

What is the rental fee for tubes at SAB and how does that whole thing work? Also can you rent tennis raquets and balls or are they free of charge?
And finally how thick are the walls? Can you hear people in other rooms as they say you can at POP?

If memory serves... I think the rental fee for the tubes at SAB was $3 an hour or $10 for the day. You just rent them at the little gift shop/stand by the pool. You can even give them your room card to pay You can bring your own though if they are clear (they need to be clear for saftey reasons) or you can bring noodles too. We actually bought our noodle at the gift shop at the BC a few yrs back.

Sorry...have no idea about tennis rackets and balls.

As to the thickness of the walls, we never had a problem with noise when staying at the BC or the BCV's.

We like BCV studios because the door to the other villa isn't right there in the studio's living area the way they are in VWL and BWV lock-offs. We haven't had a problem with noise from other rooms at BCV. (Haven't had any problems at VWL or BWV or OKW or SSR of VB for that matter.)

I have never had a problem with thin walls at BCV.

We have stayed at all the resorts except Hilton Head and the only problem we have ever had with noise is in studios at VB and OKW.

We stayed recently in a BCV lock-off studio and we never heard any noise. The door that connects a one bedroom and studio is at the entry way instead of in the living area part. That makes a difference on noise. Also, BCV doors are thick and heavy.

I thought it was the quietest on noise of any DVC resort we've stayed at. We own at VWL, BWV, and BCV. We have noticed noise at BWV before. And a little at VWL before when we got screaming kids next door. But BCV is different because of where the lock-off door is placed in my honest opinion.
