we were in aruba til the 31st of december
and played at stellaris casino a few times
had dinner at lavista a couple of times
the lobby is under construction as are a whole bunch of other corridors etc and the work continues 18 hrs a day.
getting from the parking lot to the casino is like being in a maize (sp?). we entered thru the ballroom entrance, weaved our way thru the corridors (freshly renovated) thru the pool area, into another entrance and the temporary lobby, down more corridors to casino. we did take a peek at lobby construction and as of monday, my guess is that they are 1/2 way completed.
contact customer service at priceline and tell them that they were wrong by not informing you of the construction mess. and it is an inconvenient mess.
if you got the marriott hotel stellaris for less than $140 per night at priceline, imo, i'd just go with it and not complain.
maybe the marriott front desk staff will move you to ocean club, but not likely. priceline is giving good cheap rates for the marriott hotel due to the construction.
the pool area is next to be renovated.
timeline is probably mid spring.

I did not know that the Ocean Club had full kitchens. Will see if they can switch us over. Wouldn't that be something.
