Not a Marriott, but we had a cool balcony view last month on our Mediterranean cruise on the Azamara Quest. We were directly below the bridge and had the same view over the bow.

First, cruising into Monte Carlo at sunrise...

Since this is a Marriott board, I'll include one shot from a Marriott brand...the view from our pre-cruise stay at the W hotel Barcelona. No balcony, but a great view...

Our view early this morning from Desert Springs Villas I. Building I, second floor. This is an II exchange (a replacement week for the week we lost in fall 2017 in HHI due to the Hurricane Irma evacuation), so very happy with the unit we received. Didn't request a specific building, just replied to the standard pre-arrival email and checked the box for second floor. It is one of the newly renovated units. Very nice. Just arrived late yesterday afternoon, so just getting oriented.

I updated the post, yes, in 5454 so top floor. I really should remember to include room and where needed building number or name. Yes, 3 BR, it's quite large. You've been here perhaps?

Yes! This is our favorite villa at SurfWatch. We loved that huge master bedroom with that large bath and shower.

All the three bedroom villa at SurfWatch have the same setup and they all our nice.

It's the largest shower we've seen at a MVCI property thus far, agreed! It's been 17 years since we were last at Hilton Head.

Ritz Residence Club in VailView attachment 9309

How do you like the Ritz Carlton Residence Club in Vail? We are MVC presidential and we purchased MVC mainly to access the Ritz Carlton Residence Clubs as well as the higher end benefits through MVC. We are scheduled to visit Ritz Carlton Residence Club in St Thomas in 2019. The Ritz Carlton Residence Club at Northstar is driving distance, so we plan to go there too next year.

We really enjoy the Ritz Residence Club in Vail. It is one of the nicest MVC affiliated resorts we have stayed. Service is outstanding and it is walkable to most of the Vail area (we enjoy walking). We typically like to go at the end of the summer (good value) for hiking and biking. The standard 2BR faces the highway, but the 2BR w/den and 3BR typically face the pool and mountains. The resort is currently undergoing a significant remodeling, so the lounge was closed for the end of our stay. I suggest checking the renovation status prior to planning a trip.

We like to go the week of Labor Day, but this year several restaurants weren't open during the evening. These were open last year, but many were having difficulty getting good employees after the summer vacation season.
