The very south area is Reef Residence--full time owner condos 3 and 4 stories high.
Just to the north of those is Aura, on the beach and most luxurious of the Wyndham property. The wooden pier is right in front.
Behind Aura to the east is Sabor, a bit more upscale than a deluxe room. Ground floor rooms have wade pools off the room patios and small water slides down to the winding river type main pool.
Moving north from Aura is Wyndham resort. The resort has 3 sections of room buildings that are 2 or 3 stories high. Section 1 has about 14 buildings aligned horseshoe shaped around a pool with the opened end of the horseshoe toward the beach. The beach shop is there where you get snorkeling equip, wave runners, etc. Building room numbers will all start with a 1 in this area. (1234)
Moving north is the center of the resort U shaped, with the zero depth pool in the middle, auditorium and main desk toward the street, Buffet area, upscale restaurant, snack bar, and bar by the beach.
North of this is Section 2, has 6 buildings on the beach 2 stories high. Building numbers start with 2. (2720)
Section 3, there are 6 buildings 3 stories high, parallel to section 2 with a large garden area in between. The back of these buildings has the parking lot and the mechanical building. These buildings numbers also start with a 2.
North of the resort hotel is the Reef Regency timeshare condo area. there are 5, 3 story buildings surrounding the owners pool, and 2 single story buildings north of them. Building/room numbers start with a 3. (3612)
Sand Dollar has the dive shop at the very north end of the property. This is where the concrete pier is and where most boat loading takes place.
Divers staying in the hotel Section 2 and 3 will have to walk thru the timeshare area to get to the dive shop. The beach ends at the timeshare building so you can't walk it to the dive shop from the beach. Just follow the signs thru the timeshares.
Divers staying in Section 1, Sabor and Aura should ask to be picked up at the wooden pier.
BTW. Aura, Sabor, Wyndham are adults only now BUT--timeshare still allows kids (contract issue) so you will still see them anywhere in the Wyndham Hotel resort area.
BTW. timeshares are sold out so no timeshare salesmen to bother you.
