A longtime lurker and lover of this board is needing advice. Only other addicts like me know how traumatic a change from the routine can be. A little background, we are bringing my wifes sister, a 1st timer, with us next January for 10 days. We felt she would be most comfortable staying with us on her first visit. A few must haves, must be 2nd story and must have a private balcony, must have beach shade available. We have gone with others before and stayed at NBCC dozens of times over the last 25 years but really want to move to mid beach. My wife and I tried Firefly during a quick trip in November and loved the location and the funky feel (no judgement please, our clothes remained on). Wanting something a little more upscale and mainstream this trip and was hoping to do it on a $300 a day budget which I know probably won't cut it.
I thought I had decided on Coco La Palm's 2 bedrooms but learned they are part of an older resort. Ocean view isn't an option with these rooms. Pictures I have found don't show any thing that looks like a private balcony. It looks more like a long common porch leading to the rooms with chairs sitting along it. Has anyone stayed that can verify this?
Second choice was Beachcomber. Ocean view possible, private balcony but reviews talk about it needing some updating which I can deal with. I worry about the amount of shade available for my wife of the beach. So question here is shade on the beach?? Has anyone stayed at both??
Rondel was my other thought but the beach was smaller there and just felt tight when we walked by. I don't think ocean view is availble in the two bedrooms.
I really appreciate and help and advice before I push the button. Forgot to mention that I am going to contact Negri One Stop but you guys are who I feel I know and trust. Attempting my first photo attachment, hope it worked!
