Just got back last night after 8 nights and the south side of the beach was open and they had planned to get the north side (split by the deck at the ocean) sometime this week. The beach sand is not even close to what used to be there, it is dirt like, but still it was open and we were happy.

Rob,

We spent the nights in room 2418 and not only is 2419 a king on the 4th floor but also 2415 is.

Tom

Thanks, Tom.

Just got back from Vero Beach, it was so great. I am looking to return next year for a longer stay.

Our recent trip to VB was Not what we had come to expect. Beach chairs are filthy and torn and in a general state of disrepair; rehab of rooms consisted of painting with high gloss enamel the cupboards and armoire; utensils broken, cup missing, dirty plates in cupboard, new carpet is beautiful but dirty, beach area is much more accessible. Mousekeeping is very remiss in so many areas it is as if no one is checking them at all. Pool bar/restaurant is slow slow slow. Drinks no longer have fresh fruit in them ie. pineapple wedge, strawberry etc. Grilled cheese was a real joke - barely 2 1/2 inches square - about 1 slice of bread and cheese. It was puny and very unappetizing - what a disappointment! And wait till you encounter the new towel policy - it is a HUGE turnoff!

Hope you complained and let the powers that be know of these concerns.

It's slim pickin's. A few paper plates and bowls (not plastic, paper) and if I remember correctly a small selection of plastic flatware. Definitely not adequate if your planning on significant in room meal preparation, but okay for cereal and toast.

Is there a toaster??

 

[dreamlinda]

On our last trip there was a toaster, microwave, coffee maker and small refrigerator. So - there is some capability to "cook" in the rooms, but not really the utensils or serving ware. It is more like continental or re-heating.

Thanks. We won't be cooking meals but toasting a bagel or maybe a frozen waffle.

Ceramic coffee cups and glasses (maybe 4 ea). A bar sink. a roll of paper towels, a handful napkins. We generally pack a few real real utensils to bring with us, but these days that would have to be in check-in luggage only. We'll usually buy a pack of paper plates and bowls when we get there. You can request replenishment, but you'll only get them 4 at a time.

Most of the food we have relate to breakfast and lunch. There is really no room left in the little freezer compartment once you put the vodka and tequila in there so forget frozen meals. Milk, eggs, bread, sandwich fixens. Usually one day for dinner we'll make just microwave baked potatoes that are sealed in plastic and works great. Put some butter, cheese, sourcream, and bacon bits on them. Yummy.

as far as coffee and coffee pots. are they full size? or the usual "disney " size? or the keurig? (need to know what size fileter to bring, etc. thanks!)

I'm not even going to ask about tea.. I know I almost always have to bring my own tea bags, wherever we go! tea drinkers are discriminated against! lol! (hubby says, "as well they should be!")

In the 1 bedroom and up villas the coffee pots are full sized. Out of something like 75-80 nights spent at VB, I've only spent 1 night in a studio (OVIR) but I believe those too are full sized coffee makes. And yes, (even thou I drink coffee) as a tea lover - bring your own
