Question for big wally or anyone in the know on rpdc rooms

gbcokc · 07-22-2008

We are heading down this saturday so i though i would be ahead of the curve and call the resort to see if they already received our infomation and have a comfirmation number for me, which they did. i spoke to a woman named veronica who was more than helpful. i began to tell her how this is my third trip to the royal and the first two times i didnt get my ocean view room until the 2nd or 3rd day. she told me she would go ahead and put me down for room 237, but cant guarantee it until 48 hours before, but said 99% sure i would get it. my question is after this long explanation is, does room 237 have a large or small balcony? Last time i stayed in room 238 and it had a large balcony. can you or anyone help me with this?

Here is a pic of the 237/238 balconies...They are behind the red clay planter's in the center of the bldg shown...It appears they have identical balconies..Just one is left hand, the other right hand...

litenlarry · 07-23-2008

The reference to the rooms being left/right handed, may not be accurate..I can't remember, by looking at the pic, they may be the same...

Well based on that pic room 237 has the smaller balcony. Room 350 was available to me so i took it. does anyone have any input on this room? Does it have the large balcony with the hammock?

gbcokc · 07-23-2008

I could really use some help on this one. 237 or 350!!!!!

gbcokc · 07-23-2008

ok ok ok....i know i am asking alot but i found out room 349 is available and it has the large balcony with a hammock, so my question is which room has the better view? 349 or 237?

349 is closer to the beach, 237 is further away but angled to face the beach more. Both are close to the pool - 349 right in front and 237 at the very top edge more toward the lobby

Honestly, I really don't think it matters. They're both good rooms and chances are, you'll not be in the room that much for it to make an overwhelming difference.

Just now replied via PM, but here's what I wrote. If you can now get 349, 349 is a no brainer because it does have the full shade and your hammock.....

"350, eh?

Well I believe that some of the rooms that are only covered by a patio cover/pergola don't have a hammock, and instead have sun beds.

In looking at the picture below, I don't think I see a hammock hanging on that balcony (but this is the only picture I have of that particular block of rooms):

What would put my wife (and thus me) off this particular room would be the lack of full shade coverage when the sun was high in the sky.

Here is an approxomation of the view you could expect (picture taken from room 352):"

Oh, and I'd take 237 over either any day of the week!

gbcokc · 07-23-2008

big wally i am confused. so is 349 the no brainer or 237?

gbcokc · 07-23-2008

big wally i am assuming you meant go with 237 no matter what, so that is what i went with. hope i guessed right!

Yes, that's what I meant.

litenlarry · 07-23-2008

I was wondering, if you stayed in the room adjacent,prior, why would you question the view...237 and 238 are identical...and you have already stayed next door to the one questioned....?? Just

wondering...

We stayed in room 355. It had the largest style patio with hammock. It is the last room next to the big tree decoration above the swim up bar.
Great view and because it is fully covered it had pretty good shade.
My top choice for a return trip.

gbcokc · 07-24-2008

larry....not really questioning the view from 237, just compare and contrasting it to 349. When I stayed in 239 i thought the view was awesome. I just didnt want to jump on 237 if someone with first hand knowledge says 349 is the better room.
