Just got back from my 1st stay at the GF, it was a really good stay. I was booked in a garden view room and was upgraded to a lagoon view room. Big Pine Key 1st floor facing the Poly.
The only minor problem that I had was the new housekeeping policy. I totally understand the need for security and the new policy. It just did not work very well a couple of days for me. I was not feeling well and needed a nap in the afternoon. From about 1-3PM, housekeeping knocked on the door x5 and I got a phone call as well.
I explained the 1st time that I was ill and would like housekeeping to come later. Then came more and more knocks. By the 5th knock and the phone call, I was about out of politeness.
I ended up going down to the front desk later that night and explained what happened. Apparently there is a door sign that says "room occupied", the manager said I could have also called housekeeping and they would work around my schedule.
I had one more incident with housekeeping and multiple knocking even thought I told them each time I was in the room and would be for a while.
I am sure the new process is still in the working on the kinks stage.
Otherwise, the staff was great. I met Richard, he was wonderful.
I quite enjoyed myself, especially Mizners and the music.
