We will be at VGF a few weeks before you in standard view also. I think there's a pretty good chance of construction views no matter what now, unfortunately. We normally request to face the resort grounds/beach pool/fountain - I think with the exterior construction on the main GF building seemingly working it's way to the left (and then I'm assuming moving around to the front of the building?), there's a decent chance the scaffolding will be on the side of the building most prominent in that view in the next few months. If you request the standard views in the front of VGF overlooking the porte cochere and the parking lot, then you probably have a Poly tower construction view and still possibly scaffolding on the GF main building (just depends where it it has extended to at that point in time.) At this point I'd rather just request to be on the opposite side of wherever the VGF exterior painting is occurring at the time, which we may not be able to confirm until we get there (and I know possibly too late for a room change at that point.) From the photos, looks like they are painting the lake side of the villas building first so I'm just trying to resign myself to the fact that there's a likelihood we have to deal with that. I think having to view scaffolding on the main GF building will not feel as intrusive as painting occurring right outside your own balcony though, since there's still a decent amount of distance between the VGF and main GF building.
