I don't know why a view matters so much to us, but it does. With the great ent. rate in April we took a pool view. I've been to some pretty nice places, and let me tell you, the view set the mood from the time we walked in. Kept the drapes pulled, all the palms trees were swaying, very tropical look.
Now, it would really be worth it if there was a balcony. The pool was never too noisy, music and fountains start at 8, shut down at night at 10. Of course we had two teens with us, so they loved anything they could hear. We booked for next year, and I'm tempted to get a garden view, but it's hard to go down when you had something so grand.
