We stayed in a std view room at YC in June. View was of the Wedding gazebo, absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad that I did not pay extra for the water view, can't see it when I'm sleeping anyway!
I certainly hope that's true ~ it's not really a 'water view'. At BWI the view of the quiet pool is 'standard' so I don't think that view at YC should ever have been considered *water*. It's definitely not worth paying for waterview to have that one when, for the same price, you can look out over the lagoon.
We booked a regular view at YC and received a free upgrade to a water view. Our view was of the quiet pool. It was nice, but I would have been disappointed had I paid extra for that view.
