We checked in to VB on Monday, October 27th. Check in was fast. The CM at the desk could have been a little bit more friendly.
DH needed to check something on the computer that they have set up in an area just off the lobby so he turned it on and asked for the password as there was a screen asking for a log on name and password. The CM that checked us in came out and started yelling at him and telling him that he was not allowed to access that screen. She said no, no, no, no-at least 10 times. What a twit! She then typed in the password and told him he needed to have his own account with MSN or AOL to access the internet. We have neither. I think the resort could do a lot better than this. I don't think they should have gotten rid of the business center, IMHO. Anyway, he was able to access the internet and check what he needed to check-which was very important.
They were working on quite a few areas of VB-part of the front entrance was blocked off. They were also working on bathrooms near Shutters. They are also converting rooms that were the business center to guest rooms-at least that is what it looked like to us. They were working on several guest rooms throughout the resort.
We were in 2321-3rd floor, ocean view, non-smoking. They were working on 2323 during our stay but only from 9am-5pm. We were told that they were converting some rooms to handicap rooms. So take note if you need this type of room at Vero-it should be in brand new condition.
We had a blast at Vero-we lived in the pool and on the beach. We were always able to find chairs. We love this time of year at Vero as it is not very crowded.
We went down the slide about a 1,000 times and my DS finished learning how to swim.
They have a drink refill station now next to Shutters which makes it very convenient to refill your mug if you buy one.
We ate at Shutters a few times and Sonya's for the Seafood Buffet-all meals were excellent, as usual.
The condition of our room was excellent. I paid for daily housekeeping-a must for us at VB. We had towel animals every day and the housekeeper refused to except a tip.
We viewed Mars one night by telescope on the Boardwalk and saw 3 meteors shoot throught the sky!
The Halloween activities were great. They had several activities throughout the day-a children's costume contest in the afternoon, a pumpkin carving contest, a CM costume contest.
We trick or treated around the resort from 5-7 and they filled the kid's bags with all kinds of goodies. There was a Halloween Party on the pool deck from 7-10 and it was FUN. A DJ supplied the music and the resort had donuts and cider and was selling caramel apples, cotton candy and other treats at Bleachers.
We were a bit worried early in the week after being told 28 groups of teenagers were checking into the resort for the high school swim and diving finals taking place near VB. They were the most well behaved group of kids I have ever seen and often said hi to my children and made the Halloween Party a lot of fun.
The only thing I had a hard time with is when a 16 or 17 year old asked me "What time is it Maam?"
Boy, I felt old
