I'd be interested in making a note of what the errors are if you could share them.
Spoke with MS yesterday. Was essentially told that as soon as BCV management run down the punch list on the refurb, they'll switch to 5/studio.
IOW, the punch list is still keeping a few rooms out of service and once all rooms are back in service post refurb, they'll make the change.
A few weeks, tops.
MS put me on hold for 10 min while they contacted BCV management to ask directly.
We stayed in 367 back in 2014 and it was a dedicated 2 BR with two queens in the second BR.
We're arriving in late October...2 bedroom...Our first time in this resort, we were lucky to snag this last minute reservation!
EDIT: Sorry I didn't mean it to be solely geared towards you, anyone could help me, but seeing how you're the last one in here, I figured I'd give it a try.Just returned from 9 nights in a new studio. Room 406. Many have complained about no ceiling fans but we didn't miss them. And my husband runs very hot at night. The only construction we saw was more fencing being installed around the main pool.
BCV not really a big place at all. We usually request pool view close to elevator as I like to minimize the walk once we get to villas. Laundry is on 4th floor near elevators. Mugs can be refilled at the marketplace which is in main BC building but not far at all. It's our fave place, hope you enjoy it!Ok, so it's very possible we may be staying here in the future, and I don't even know where to start...Judging by the maps & stuff this place looks rather large & daunting.
As of now I put in a request for a studio /Pool view. Ideally 1) Where does general consensus normally put their request for?
Is there a better section of the villa then others? Bigger balconies? better views? close to elevators?
Also, 2) Looking at the map, I don't see a dedicated DVC laundry facility, Am I missing it, or is the only one on the front side close to the beach club resort quiet pool? 3) Is there a mug station/refill (coffee & drinks)and or a place to grab a quick snack located in the villas section?
TIA, DizDad

The elevator by the canal is closer to the parking lot.Thanks. So the Laundry is definitely in the Villa Bldg.? Right? Along w/ another paid one for the separate resort?
1 more question if you don't mind.
The resort map shows 2 sets of elevators, 1 closer to the last wing down by the canal, and one closer to the main bldg. No way of distinguishing that to them is there?

No worries
It is not as large and daunting as it seems. You will love it!
I made my requests on the online check in page. I requested higher floor, pool view. I was on the 4th floor with a beautiful view of the canal/villas pool.
There is laundry in the Villas building. The door is locked and will open with you magic band. There is no cost to use the machines but detergent is available for $ in a vending machine.
The closest place to fill mugs and get snacks is in the Marketplace in the main building but it is a very short walk from the Villas building.
