My family of 7 stayed in the 1300 Villas, so our experience is based on a combination of Commons areas and the Villas as follows:

PROs: designated Hotel beach area w cabana & pool, shuttle to hotel beach area, 3 pools, play area w games; very close to JAX beach; beautiful interior hotel & grounds! Friendly-helpful staff; Very fast maintenance and housekeeping services.

CONS: Villas are not as nice (seems they are pushing families/kids there), No grill outside, no way to cook anything inside except kitchenette microwave; no hard coffee cups provided/no bowls, tiny fridge/coffee pot, terrible sofa sleeper, bedroom stays warmer than main area/LR and no ceiling fan; magnetic key cards perform horribly; shower curtain bar installed wrong leaving a foot open curtain on each side so water makes a mess; bathtub faucet plate came off; ungodly expensive food-drinks; Laundromat facilities is in another villa, a long walk away and charges for soap AND use of washer AND dryer, separately; no hot tub, jacuzzi, sauna, steamroom.
