I have been lurking here for a while.....this will be my first post.
We stayed in the Concierge level for the 'shakedown' weekend. Units are as advertised.....the kitchen would remind you of Long Creek kitchens (think stainless steel appliances--even drawer type dishwashers), but obviously on a smaller scale. Much better floor plan in the full 2BR unit in this building than the 1BR+studio lockouts (as you would expect). Walk in showers in both baths. Beamed ceilings, flat screen TV's. No view of the lake, but the view back up the cove was almost better, in my opinion.
As for the Presidential units, we got a tour of one of those as well. WOW! Vaulted ceilings give the units a much bigger feel than one floor below. 3D TV in family room (yes, they provide glasses). Kitchen is much the same but different colored granite (sort of a mauve/burgandy color) which really matched the black cabinetry. Appts in the kitchen were much nicer: small wine fridge, Panini press, waffle maker, and even an electric wine opener to go with stainless appliances (again, think of Long Creek).
MBR had a custom forged "canopy" bed, and fireplace.....both baths have wall mounted towel warmers, and heated floors to go with the walk in showers.
Decks for both the living area and the master BR, with a fireplace on the deck.
Then of course, the privacy of the pool area and hot tub------only thing I probably would have changed would have been to have the elevator go clear to the pool level, instead of having to leave the building at either end, and walk around to the pool gates.
These units were gorgeous and gracefully appointed......they are rightfully proud of them (as the point values will attest).
I agree with previous poster, my belief is that the pool area will continue to remain private. If you're going to use that many points then that's one of the perqs that you are entitled to.
We're still debating with ourselves just how often we'll want to spend the extra points........

Actually, I thought they were just another sales tactic or possibly a blatant lie. If anyone has been to one of these invitation only events, please share some details.
