tfw73 - regarding the new building at Coco, when I was there the end of May, it wasn't too crowded overall so I don't know how many people were in the new building to make a difference. Our room (521) was right near the entrance/steps to the new building and I didn't see a whole lot of activity in or out. The sundeck upstairs is really nice and there are loungers, tables, and a nice bathroom, but no umbrellas which makes it not too appealing in the middle of the day to be up there. I'd rather be on the beach! We did sit up there a couple nights with take out from Best in the West and it was nice.

Rooms in the new building are nice, but I hear they are very loud due to the acoustics of the hallway. There are no patios or balconies unless you are on the 3rd floor, so it's kind of "motel" like.
