I will say I hope Endless Summer is the last of the "beach front" theme hotels. I love Cabana and Royal Pacific, and Sapphire looks fine, but I really hope Site B has less of them.

They have the same situation with cushioned couches on the outside patio level of the Tavern/Restaurant at Sapphire. I'd guess it will be handled in a similar fashion.
Does the lobby suffer like SF did at opening of a lack of things on the walls? SF really needed some large art to fill the space

so this basically looks like a business hotel, similar to a modern Hyatt or Marriott. Nothing too fancy, just clean/elegant looks, and a focus on the exclusive bar. Much more adult oriented then anything on Disney property. That's for sure.
Does the hotel have several conference rooms? Because I could see it being very popular with that crowd.

Doesn't have any conference rooms itself, I believe, but the Royal Pacific and Sapphire Falls conference rooms are all right there.

this seems like a mistake to me, but I realize this hotel is a bit smaller and built on a budget.
I don't think there was physically any place to put any conference space. They really fit the hotel in such a small space.
The Saphhire/Royal Pacific Convention complex is huge (and they are connected with an air conditioned walkway -- you can walk to Royal pacific from Sapphire and never leave the A/C) I could see them adding some air conditioned way to get directly to them, but I'm not sure where they would put it.
To be fair, SF just wasn't finished. However, I didn't notice a lack of anything, but we were on a tight schedule so we couldn't take it all in. I'm going back tomorrow so I can check out everything on my pace.
The conference areas are literally right next door. Minimal walking distance.

that makes sense. I'm sure it will be popular with the conference crowd regardless.
I didn't realize how close they were in location. My bad.

I don’t know if they were actually iPads or they were using it as a generic tablet name, but I stayed at a Hilton a month ago with a similar set up. It was handy and really does depend on the intuitiveness and responsiveness of the software.
The Art Ovation in Sarasota also has in-room tablets. We mostly used it to alert the valet we were headed down. Our car was always waiting when we got there.

Those floor-to-ceiling windows are amazing. Better not have a fear of heights if you stay here. The room layout is different, but I dig it. I'm surprised they didn't do some splashes of color in the rooms, but it doesn't really bother me. Definitely will be staying here on an upcoming trip, even though I usually set up camp at Sapphire Falls.

That's good to know then. I have no problem with them, but the girlfriend not so much.
The Tim Tracker was able to also go to the preview of the hotel as-well..
I personally have no desire to stay here because I like sunbathing by and going in a good pool. Aventura’s pool looks like it will be in the shade much of the day, not to mention how lackluster it is.
However, I can totally understand people who may want to stay here for Bar 17 or whatever. It’s a nice hotel for a cheap price tag. The rooms don’t entice me personally as I could care less about the “tech” features.
Much like @JungleSkip, Cabana Bay is more my speed for the price point.

Yup, so many other themes to explore for future hotels.
