We are at the Plantation Club Beach right now. It's the week of Dec 25th. Weather could be better.
The first impression: what a wonderful place. Unit seemed to be freshly renovated. And it was...but what I found after a few minutes: fridge and microwave were not cleaned. Bathroom and hallway floors (ceramic tiles) were not clean - I am walking up to the bathroom and I can see somebody's hair on the floor... Trash can was dirty. The next day I wanted to wash our clothes and I found dirt (sand and shells) in the dryer. Windows could use some cleaning. Also, closet frame has tons of dust and after-construction dirt. Can you imagine that? I did not have a chance to talk to anybody at the front desk because they leave around 5 PM. Today - on Sunday they left before 2 PM. Furniture and kitchen appliances look new. There are nice TVs in every room. Bedrooms are small. I don't like the fact that the second bedroom and bathroom is downstairs because we have a small kid who sometimes wakes up during the night and you have to run downstairs to check on him. Other than that - I really like it. Location couldn't be better. View and swimming pool is great - however, due to the weather, we did not have a chance to use it :(
Free wireless internet - I like it.
You cannot park in the garage if you have higher SUV or van - there is 6" clearance.

We used our timeshare points for this stay - it's really the only choice Hilton has on the Atlantic side for a family. The place looked great as the renovations were just completed. We did not care for the room arrangements, however. The kitchen/living room were on one floor and the bedrooms, and most importantly, the 2 bathrooms, were all on a lower level. The smaller bedroom felt like a cave, while the master has a great view from the lanai. We were told all 2-bedrooms are on 2 floors, so it you don't like stairs, this is not the place. The place is small - only 30 units; front desk closes at 5:00 and so does the complimentary computer. It's very quite and we felt our of place with our toddler grandchild. But many of the other guests are regulars.

There's a Publix just around the corner for stocking up the fridge and there's plenty of great seafood dining nearby. Closest place is the Baja Grill next door at a Marriott building.

We went on week 31 this year which is a big family week at the resort.

We had a two bedroom unit on the third floor. Master, dining room, kitchen upstairs and second bedroom downstairs. If you can not climb stairs, make sure you ask for the 2 BR units on third floor. Second floor units have bathroom downstairs.

Units will be renovated in September under direction of Micheal Hilton who will be on the property supervising the renovations. After that, the room quality will become 5 stars in my book and very much "Hilton style of design". We got to see the model (Unit 205) this year during our trip.

You get a social membership to Marriott beach club resort including very cheap rates on the golf course. We played golf 4 out of seven days. Rates for children are 1/2 price and the executive course at the Marriott is perfect for junior , senior golfers and people like me who want to get 18 holes of golf in a short time. There is a beautiful tennis center for use free of charge along with several fitness centers for your use at the Marriott. You also get a 10% discount on food at the Marriott staying at Plantation Beach club.

There is a tram for the Marriott a short walk away from the property which will get you to the main hotel area, golf course, tennis center, fitness center etc.

The staff, Sharon, Bunnie, Heidi and Mandy get to know you as family.

All of the units look over the beach which is beautiful. Hutchison Island is a must for the beach goer. During this week, the seas were remarkably calm.

Best of all, FREE WIRELESS and Parking. The balconies are screened in so no bugs to content with during dusk. There are no lights allowed on the balconies due to the turtle nestings.

The down side to the area is the limited nightlife. Also, since the master bedroom faces the back of the building, there is noise from people going by the room outside enroute to the elevators.

We often check in "after hours" and the lock box to get your key is very easy.

We are already planning to return next summer.

We just returned. It was a huge 2 story unit with 2 screened porches on each level.
They are getting ready to renovate. After October should be superb. You can use all Marriott's facilities and u get chairs and umbrella-no charge. The beach is not flat, but fine to swim briefly or use a board. It can be a wee rough. It has million buck views and the entire complex around it is first class. You will likely love it. Kids playground. Tennis. golf.
Nice fitness room. Sauna. multiple pools. great vacation. Something for everyone. Go if you can, lots of nice places to eat. Not boring place to go with Jensen beach bars and mall and tons of activities in 10-12 min drive.
