Dreams Honeymoon suite (These pics are of mine, room number 8240) (faces back of seaside grill and wedding gazebo)

 

My opinion (and as seen in photos) Not much difference from a Dreams Junior Suite except slightly larger living room, small walk-in closet, 2 person jacuzzi (versus single person jacuzzi) and two patios.

Gazebo next to seaside grill (south end of beach) (this gazebo is a bit more private, there is nothing to the right of it, although the lounge chairs and Seaside Grill are close on the left side. This gazebo is also near the rock pile which is nice for pics.)

 

 

 

(taken from other side, you see that the beach chairs are pretty close, people will watch from there but the coordinators won't let them any closer than that)

 

 

Gazebo next to Aqua Sport center (north end of beach)
