I am going to Aruba this Saturday (Jan 5) and staying at the Marriott Hotel. I own timeshares at the Ocean Club and the Surf Club but I'm using some points to stay at the hotel. I have been in touch with the hotel and decided that it will not be much of an inconvenience with the construction. The construction is still going on and is supposed to be completed by the end of the month. I don't spend time in the lobby of hotels so I am not anticipating any problems. The hotel has refurbished many rooms and I did request one. You got a wonderful price for your room...$99.00 that is a real bargain. If you look online at he Marriott website, the rooms are well over that. I will post and let you know of the situation when I get there.
