momof3cruisers Posted July 5, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Numbers 8-11. Not too far down the beach, but removed enough that it's quiet and MUCH less crowded. Fairly close to the restrooms and a decent walk to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuyahoga11 Posted July 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2013 D or E because it is less crowded down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVgirl Posted July 8, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2013 A, B and C are right beside the Pirate Bar. Short walk to get a drink, but you will also have lots of music and traffic around your villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted July 8, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Let us clarify some things here. Cabanas are numbered 1-15. Villas are lettered A-E. The villas are very new. Doubt anybody has stayed in more than one to compare. Whether any cabana or villa is your favorite is going to depend on your priorities. OP, what are your priorities? Peace an quiet? Mobility? Close to food, beverages bathrooms or something else? Some reading on the large HMC threads will give you tons of info on these priorities. To paraphrase a sage here on the boards, any cabana (or villa) is better than no cabana (or villa). Edited July 8, 2013 by CruiserBruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be closer to the food pavilion and restrooms these would be the Villa's to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally found an updated map showing the villas, and I think we will be targeting D with C being our back up.

Anny cabana or Villa is better than no cabana or Villa at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted October 7, 2013 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Again, as discussed above, each person will have their priority, depending on the issues mentioned above. Given that the villas are new, not sure anybody will have a lot of experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvsviola Posted October 28, 2013 #16 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Were just there this week and had cabana 8. I would want whatever villa is between cabana 8 and 9--far enough down the beach it is quiet without being all the way down. It was serene and beautiful without the massive number of people down by the bar/playground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celticd1 Posted November 6, 2013 #20 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Just back from HMC and we had Villa 'E'. 'D' was our first choice but it was already taken (rented a day earlier than anyone else was allowed because they were on a B2B). Have to say we LOVED it! We were able to use the free shuttle and it came in very handy since we had a few ladies with mobility issues. It is quite a bit further down the beach but it was much more peaceful than A, B or C.

iahawkize Posted November 6, 2013 #21 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Just gor off the Victory and one of our group was able to reserve villa "D" the day before our ship sailed as he was on a B-to-B. We had 14 inour group and never registered the other 6 as not everyone snorkled and we all brought some extra "stuff" from the ship. So it only cost us $35 pp! They don't check and why spend $49pp for the extra 6? They don't check There was plenty of shade early and most of us pulled the loungers up close to the Villa to keep them reserved for people in our group. The buffet was just like on the ship limited but just like going to a barbeque picnic, with plenty of shaded tables nearby. Didn't use the other ectivities but it would have been fun to use the wave runners or do the dolphin or stingray experience. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
