Which rooms are bad at DRM?

Postby gibor » Thu Sep 07, 2017 12:41 am

During my research, several times I was reading reviews complaining about some specific room

For example, from TA review
Paid extra for a garden view room. Got a view of a closet where employees constantly stopped in and spoke loud Spanish constantly waking us up


Which room/buiding number this reviewer is talking about?

FYI many of the TA reviews are bogus - done by competitors to lower resort ratings ;)
For example:
Paid extra for a garden view room.

At DRM garden view is the standard class of room, all other rooms are more expensive - at Pearl there are no garden view rooms ..........

I noticed this too :), garden view rooms always the cheapest ones.....
However, I've read something similar (about noisy room with view on closet) on some other website ... Maybe this is closest room to the pool (just beside ping-pong table)?
Just wanted to know which rooms better to avoid

They may be referring to the room we had, It was under the Jacuzzi, bottom floor by the restaurant, so yes, out one side you see a closet/maid storage building. But, we LOVED this room. It is so close to the pool and food and jacuzzi, sound levels were low because it was on the back side, had a nice view of a lawn/trees/landscaping that was fine. Heck we would want it again, we are not big "Be in the room looking out" people, we liked the location for its benefits and short walk.

Looks like that everyone has different room priorities :).
Last year we got room on 2nd floor building 20, it was not too bad, the only complaint (considering that we were usually drunk :))....there was a big step in the middle of the room ...
We spent in the room very little time and close to the end of vacation, figured out that we also have balcony :) , didn't really need it

That's funny we love those rooms also. We call them parking lot veiw rooms. They also have the bigger showers and bathrooms out of any of GV rooms. Yes they are very quiet also. We always request 1001. just around the corner from the food jacuzzi just up the stairs pool right there so easy to get back to your room.

Yes we hate that step inside those rooms and the stairs to the second floor are slippery especially at 3am with wet feet

True! Those Steps to 2nd floor we also didn't like. But I don't get why those rooms have a big step in the middle :shock:

We had the same room and agree we would take it again.

Those rooms by the ping pong table are passion suites. We have stayed in that very first room before. I'd say noise would only be an issue if you plan to nap during the day. The pool is obviously closed at night so noise is minimal.

We've yet to stay in, or see "a bad room" in our many trips to DRM. We "prefer" some over others, in fact our favorite rooms are ones that people on vanilla sights have complained about as well!

The pool side of the jacuzzi building have the constant roar of the jacuzzi. The garden side of the jacuzzi building are quiet(er). Additionally, when we had the pool side ground floor we had a drunk guest passed out and sleeping on the patio couch. Ocean View, I think Bldg 20 is the best as far as convenience. Anything north of the lobby is convenient to the evening entertainment area and the midnight BLT wind-down.

ALL of the rooms are better than being stuck at home or even at Sandals.

YMMV
