Need info from guests staying after July 19

Postby EroticSailor » Wed Jul 27, 2016 10:11 am

Two different notes/posts on Trip Advisor regarding the current construction project at RM below.
They are in the midst of constructing a new building by the beach... a premier modern suit with lots of glass, a loft bedroom area and it's own plunge pool... not sure how many units. Unfortunately this construction is right in the middle of the complex adjacent to the beach and literally next to our room... the nonstop jack hammering from 10am until 5pm on Saturday was not pleasant, and made not only our room uninhabitable during those hours but also destroyed the serenity of the beach. Construction noise will continue to be a problem for several months... something they completely failed to mention but you should be aware of.


I sent a note to a different traveler and received this response.
Hi! We were very fortunate that the construction began on the morning we checked out. On our last evening a flier was distributed by the management to inform everyone that construction would begin the next day. The flier stated that construction would not begin until after 10:00 am, but it actually began at 7:00 am. We saw a number of guests making requests for room changes further away from the building that was being torn down. I hope this helps.

Anyone?

Sorry...appreciate you asking for clarification...I'm requesting info...

I'd like to hear from someone who's been there during this recent project.

Are those posts from Trip Advisor accurate? Is it noisy sitting by the pool or on a beach bed? Jackhammers at 7 a.m.?

The most noise was created from the removal of the old structure. We left a few days ago, they were 95% done. The construction noise should be at a minimum with the building portion compared to the removal.

We were at the pool most of our trip and didn't notice the noise over the poolside music.

The construction is supposed to be limited to the following hours now from 10am to 6pm.

I saw the original post, thank you, but was curious about the noise during the day, poolside and beach side. Thank you.

Just left today, was there all week, never once noticed the noise, it was a building over from us. The deconstruction was done, not sure how the "construction" noise will be?

Been here since yesterday and there is considerable noise from the construction. Jack hammers and a really squeaky tracked rig the looks to be boring holes for pilings. You can hear it from the hottub and of course from the beach in front of the site. Not too bad at the pool with the other ambient noises going on. Some people are complaining about the noise, some walkways are blocked and the temporary walkways are hard for the ladies to maneuver in their fancy shoes.

Just back, as in we've been home less than 10 hours. It is loud, primarily from the lobby area north, and most of the beach. Pool end of the resort, it's not really noticed as all ambient noise drowns it out. We were in 1912, which directly overlooks the construction, and can tell you that an afternoon nap in our room was out of the question. We can also say that you couldn't really tell exactly what they're doing, as the site from our vantage point looked no different on the 4th than it did the 28th. They strictly follow a 10am-6pm schedule with Sunday off, and the equipment did fire up promptly at 10. They have also lined a lot of the walkways around buildings 17, 18, and 19 with a 6 foot "wall" of a green burlap like mesh, which isn't the most appealing aesthetic, not to mention that, with several extremely windy days courtesies of Tropical Storm Earl, also presented something you had to push out, and hold out, of your way if you needed to walk to that end of the resort. All that being said, its impact on our stay? Negligible.

Returned home on the 3rd. Stayed in 2512. Only time we heard it was during Yoga class. Not a problem. Walkways not an issue even though we were on the "far side" of the resort. One walkway is closed but presented little inconvenience. I had already forgotten about the construction until I read the update.
