MSO,
I just returned from AC, we stayed in a cabana at the VH. To the best of my assessment, (See "Bug Question" dated 8/2/04) I got the bug bites there. As for the rest of the stay there, It was great. If I were to go back to the VH, I would try one of the inside suites / rooms. ( And a lot more OFF, especially at night!) The service was first rate, the overall appeal is quite nice, however the only dinner that we had there was somewhat disappointing given the price. I enjoyed the breakfast menu better. As for the building next to the VH, we never noticed any problems only in that that if you were to go for a walk along the shore, you will notice the abrupt difference in the well coifed sand of the VH from surrounding properties. <g>
Enjoy,
Mark F.
