The new pool, children's water pad, fire pit and cooking areas were opened Saturday, April 21st. Here are a few pics:

Those pics look great! It's amazing how quickly it all came together since we were there at the very end of February!
 
Thanks for the pics! The pool looks great! It sure did not look like that when we were there last month. Makes me want to go back.. :D
 
Ocean Watch Serenety Pool

Looks great, a little further along than the pool up the coast at Ocean Watch. Wasn't able to get much closer as the area was roped off.

Thanks for the pics...Is there a slide? I thought that was in the proposed plans, but I didn't see it in the plans.

Thanks!
 
Thanks for sharing your pictures. Now thats 100% quality.
 
The slide is still under construction; target completion date is early June. The picture with the adirondack chairs shows the steps one will take to start down the slide. If you look at the right side of the first picture posted, you'll see a white wall - behind the wall is the slide construction area. It appeared that all left to complete was installation of the slide tube and the finishing touches.

It's also somewhat hard to see in the pic, but they installed marble counters in the outdoor cooking area, 2 weatherproofed TV screens and sinks in addition to the six grills.

OK...I thought that was it, but didnt see the actual slide. Thanks so much for the additional picture...It is clear now.

We haven't been back in several years ( we cant resist the urge to try new places!) and we are definitely ( I think ;) ) going next summer. We will need a cheap beach week next summer after a few pricey trips between now and then. My kids LOVE the slide, so this will really be fantastic. We ahve been to Marco ISland 3 times and love the similar amenities so we are very excited they are at Barony now.

For us, this is a HUGE upgrade for this resort and will keep it a top choice among the HHI resorts...not to start that debate again:rolleyes:
 
Great Pics!

We will be at Barony May 26 - June 2nd. The new area looks great. We are looking forward to the firepit.
 
you guys are killing me.

i stayed at surfwatch in 2010 and loved it. i just booked grande ocean for this fall a few days ago. now i want to try barony... :)
 
These pictures are amazing! There is a trip to Barony in our future.....:)
 
The new area looks very nice. It will def keep Barony in the running for future trips to HHI.
 
This may help make the garden view units more attractive for those exchanging in. This is usually the units that exchangers are assigned to. It makes it more of a resort in to itself when separated somewhat from the main section.
 
Marriott has also re-furbed the pool bar/grille in the oceanfront area of Barony - they've constructed a new, bigger building that sits dead center between the two buildings on "this" side of the pool (where the old pool bar/grille sat on "that" side. :D ) I haven't been there to see it completed yet, but here's an older post with pictures of the ongoing construction that were placed on Barony's Facebook page.

Thanks for the pictures. We will be there in July.
 
Really love the new pool area. I think this adds alot to the overal facility to have more pool options for guests. Marriott is usually pretty good about pool size compared with occupancy.

Oh, I just love how that looks! We'll be at SurfWatch for a couple weeks later this month, can't wait to walk up to Barony and see it all in person. Then in September we'll be at Barony - I'll try to remember to post an invite to anyone who'll be in the area and wants to stop by for a visit. Thanks so much for all the pics!
 
Everything looks great. Is the garden pool heated?
