Hi Kathy,

No problems at all.
When traveling half the fun is in the preparation and the expectation.

If you have email me recently then I haven't received it. (Try again)

The reason I've ask from who did you rent is because it will influence your room assignment rank...
Unluckily Marriott guests are almost in the last position...
Don't despair your room will be nice but the view might not be the best one.
(Expect a garden view so if you ever got better you will be happy and not the other way around)

Here's how it works:
Villa are assigned on the day of arrival and are based on the check-out pattern for each particular day and are prioritized in the following order:
-Owners in their owner week
-Home owners exchanging into their home resort
-Any other reservations which includes Marriott Owners, Exchangers, Preview Guests, Rentals, Non-Marriott owners.

Still it couldn't hurt to ask...
Here what I would suggest:
1. Above the lobby facing the pool.
2. Any room facing the Pool (higher floor preferred).

Unless you are using Marriott Reward Points for your stay, did you contemplate the rental from an owner instead?
It's a lot cheaper with a better room assignment rank...

Cordially,

Pierre
