Can't answer to Serg take out as I never used them with so many good options on the island for fresh takeout. As for the QS, yes. Tide Me Over at the main pool is open 8-5, while Surfmen's Sandbar at the Beach House is open 11-5.Hi all! We check in in 10 days and I have a couple of questions. I see a lot of people recommend SERG take out. I'm going to place a pickup order for our arrival day. What did you order that you loved? Do all of the quick services as well as the window that serves snow cones and drinks at the beach house(I don't know what it's called) close at 5? Finally, we are in a 1 bedroom. I like to have a nice view from the balcony for coffee/wine time, but we also like to be close to the pool. Is there a room request that would accomplish this or do I need to choose one or the other? Thank you in advance for any replies!
Concerning the 1BR, here's what you have from which to choose as there are only 21 1BRs available:
- In Bldgs 11 (Live Oak Lodge where you will check in) and 12 (connected to Bldg 11 as they share the only guest elevator on property), there are only 16 total 1BRs. Neither building is close to the pool, though it's a small resort so it's only a 5-minute walk, and a pretty one at that.
- Of the two buildings, neither guarantees you a nice view...if like most people "nice" means marsh view. Some of the rooms in either building will offer you partial or full water/marsh views. Most don't: however, all the views are lovely even if it's the interior of the resort as it is lushly landscaped.
- The rest of the remaining 5 1BRs are scattered throughout the resort, one each in Bldgs 16, 18, 19, 28, and 30. Each of these is closer to the pool than Bldgs 11/12, but not right next to the pool.
- The catch to these 5 rooms is each one sits under the master suite or kitchen of the 5 Grand Villas that are on property. Ergo, you will likely hear a great deal of noise since GVs usually have a) more people and b) more kids than other types of rooms. And only one of those 1BRs (Bldg 18) has a marsh view.
- For my money, I'd go with either Bldg 11 or 12 and request top floor. Your views will be good to very good and you won't have anyone on top of you. Obviously, requests are just that.
- For a more detailed look at the guest buildings, go to Page 1 of this thread where hhisc16 has provided a map of the resort.
Enjoy!
