Ki Kath, I own here and have also rented units from owners(Tax savings is so much better) also rented direct from Marriott.Months include Jan,Feb,April and Nov,that we come here since it was built, we came here in fact stayed in Aruba month of Feb 2009 Questions if you rent from owner or own they come make beds ,change sheets and wash fls and baths 3 days after arrival or easier to figure twice in that week.You can pay to have them come in more often or everyday.You can only opt for $$ more towels.There is a free(I think) laundry on every floor.(At surf it is in unit) There is extra towels in area where the jaucci tub is which we don't use so that worked for us plus I buy a 10 pk of face cloths cheap and bring and throw out cheaper than paying for theirs.Next Ques: The extra coffee pot filters are usually in the pot and extra paper towel and garbage bags under sink.,Best place to eat in Complex if no kids is RuthChris. Lots of places closeby if you walk on beach side then cross over very easy head toward Holiday Inn and cross to street side.Next Ques. Renting papyla we never did as we don't want to be on beach at 8 AM but by 11 Am many have cleared out so that worked.We like the food/bar area at Marriott and beach is closer.Next renavations.We stayed last week Jan 09 and many were done.The complete entryway,bar near casino and bathrooms were complete.Our unit was complete.We never know which floor or unit we get that is the only diference between owning a specified week and owning a season.We belong to Interval and it always works out.If you are renting and don't own email me and I will give you additional information JL@
