We have a one-week RCI exchange at this resort on Singer Island for the week of March 17th to 24th. We just got a notice from RCI that repairs will be starting on February 5th for "emergency waterproofing and stucco repair", including some balcony repairs. It will be conducted 6 days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM and involve a boom crane and scaffolding. Also, if your balcony is repaired you will not be able to access it for 24 hours after the completion of the repairs. The repairs will involve chipping, scratching, patching and painting and will cause some noise.
I am concerned that the use of the balcony and any views could potentially be hampered by scaffolding and/or repair work for the full visit, since I suspect they will probably not be finished in the six weeks prior to our arrival. Also, I'm concerned just how noisy it might get, so that even being around the pool or out on the beach might be affected. The resort's website gives no more information than that from RCI, concerning the degree of disruption or estimated time of completion.
Anybody have any experience with this type of repair? Trying to decide whether we are better off just cancelling. The week before we will be staying at HGVC Tuscany Village in Orlando, so we were looking forward to a quiet week on the beach. Unfortunately at this late date there is very little alternate accommodation available in the area on RCI.
