Ground Floor Rooms

Postby jaycal68 » Tue Jan 12, 2016 8:39 am

Good day,

Please forgive the repetitiveness of this post from this newbie (soon to be new no more). I have tried searching and have found maps and room category listings but still not the specific info we are looking for. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. I have already set a reminder in my smart phone to do our express check-in online the morning of Jan 28 - 15 days before our arrival.

My wife and I are interested in getting a ground floor room - I have a bit of a tricky knee so a few steps are OK but the less steps the better. We are not too picky when it comes to buildings although by looking at the map the building right in the middle of the pool looks like it would be nicest then working our way around more to the quiet end of the pool but again not too picky. I have seen the odd number here and there in other posts mentioning which category it is in (I think #31 or #32 would be our first choice). Cokemann has said many times that there is no rhyme nor reason to the room layouts per building (eg the building with rooms #31-#43 has 8 Ocean Views, 4 Junior Suites, and 1 Penthouse and apart from knowing the Penthouse is on the top floor no one seems to know which are on the ground or second floor etc.). Is this something I could get from the resort itself with a phone call to then post for everyone's knowledge? Are all ground floor rooms in the Ocean View category?

I think it would be to everyone's benefit since we can do the advance check-in and make special requests for particular rooms, even though there are no guarantees, that a more definitive map with room locations could be made. I'll volunteer to be the one to do it (or at least try to get the info when we are there in February from the resort - after all we are not talking the MGM Grand in Las Vegas here with 5,000 rooms). I will take Cokemann's room number category listing with us and see if the resort will add the last bit of info to it as to which floors which rooms are on and so forth.

For now if anyone knows ground floor room numbers that they have had in the past it would be appreciated so we can make a request and hopefully get lucky. :wink:

Cheers,

Jason & Donna

P.S. One last thing. I have read that you are free to engage in sexual stuff on your own balcony. Does the same hold true on your patio if you are in a ground floor room? I know that such behavior is not allowed around the pool but it is OK only a few steps away in case the mood should take us right where we are.....

Hope I can help with the building your asking about, we have stayed in 31 I think twice and we liked it. As far as steps you literally have one, you walk out ground level but maybe a step off patio. You would be on the north side of the building by sidewalk that leads to the quiet end of pool. 32 I believe you have to go down one flight but same side of building closer to pool.
The ocean view rooms are on the sides of the building and four junior suites front of building facing pool by volleyball and new wall, that building is only 3 floors with great location.
We have seen plenty of playing on patios and balconies not sure it's really permitted, I say go for it if anyone says anything (they won't) say sorry!
See you there!

We had the basic ground floor room in the building that is right in front of the middle of the pool. I dont remember the number but you walk out the patio and were ten steps from the pool. Ask for that building it was a perfect location. I also recall that there were steps even for the ground floor rooms as you had to walk down half a flight of steps to get to your door.

We stayed in room 36. Nice standard ground floor room close to the hot tub and pool, but no noise at all. Next time we go I will request that room again.

We have had room 36, as well. Great ground floor room next to the jacuzzi. I expected it to be quite loud but it was not at all. Plus it was great having your own private restroom so close to the jacuzzi. We loved the location and will be requesting it again in February/March.

We are booked into a Master Suite - does anyone have any recommendations of ground floor Master Suite locations.. we are especially looking forward to the potential for a bit of lounge bed play on our patio... Who has stayed in a ground floor Master Suite? Which side of the pool etc?

I would normally tell you our favorite room but since you get to Pearl the day before we do I am not sure it would still be available. :lol: All joking aside, the room location really depends on your tolerance for noise. We have never found that the "party end" is too noisy. But that's us. Others have a strong preference for the quite end.
Once you get your room please let everyone know your patio play schedule so evening walks can be planned accordingly.

FYI about bottom floors. We were at DP during the 2nd week of Oct. Had heavy rain for 5 days. Several people on the bottom floor had water coming over the threshold.

We always thought we would prefer certain rooms on certain floors but all three times we have been to Pearl we have enjoyed the "luck of the draw" when it comes to the rooms and their location. Our only 'disappointment' with the room on our last trip was that our robes were those awful pull over style robes instead of the nice, fluffy terry ones.

We like the 'surprise' of not knowing what room we are getting for the week. Heck, we are on vacation at Desire Pearl. How awesome is that?!? :D

Pullover robes? Half the enjoyment of wearing a robe is leaving it hanging open. You can't do that with a pullover, can you? Do you end up looking like Friar Tuck?

Is the pullover the new norm there? Taking our first trip in March. Just curious.

Mainly warmth when leaving the hot tub late at night. That and for the pockets to carry stuff to and from the hot tub.

Usually hit the hot tub after disco so inclined to have a couple of pockets :D We go last week of July or first week of August so warmth is not an issue. Travel light and fast :shock:
