Sounds like you need to drink more...... Sleep of the dead

I don't think thier target guest demographics would be for a lengthy stay at either new hotel. More along the lines of All Stars in terms of room size, density, and amenities. Nice enough to get cleaned up and a night's sleep, but not to hang out at.

I don't know about others take on it, but I just don't like the look or feel of the resort. Just not for me. But I like a more tropical feel for a resort, like RPR.

Ugg... That's what we booked Dockside for the one time we stayed there and the sleep part was hard when it sounded like there was a party happening either above or next to us until around 3am. We called down to the desk around midnight and it never really got better. It wasn't until after that stay we found out sound between rooms was a pretty common complaint at that location.

They didn't, these are just a place to shower and sleep

MrPromey13 days ago

These look nice. I can't help but see what appears to be a reskin of an Endless Summer resort in that final picture that shows the pool area with the hotel behind it. Whether it is or isn't, I hope they learned their lesson with the soundproofing between rooms/floors from those two builds which were meant to fill this same approximate price point.

There were price increases resort-wide on F&B options a few weeks ago... I wonder if Stella Nova just hasn't updated yet.

With Terra Luna opening today, I decided to check out the menus that were published today vs that of Stella Nova and noticed a few changes. These comparisons will be as direct to item name and I will make all clarifications where I can. Luna Bar: • Hard Seltzers are 0.50 higher than Stella Nova across the board. • Angry Orchard is $11 at Terra Luna vs $9 at Stella Nova. • Canned Beers are up to $1 more then Stella Nova. Terra Luna is $10-12, Stella Nova is $10-11. • Daft Beers are up to $1 more then Stella Nova. Terra Luna is $11.50-13, Stella Nova is $11-12. • Cocktails at Stella Nova are $16 flat, Terra Nova they vary between $14-$18 Dollars • Energy Drinks are $0.25 more, Fuji Water is $0.50 more. • Wine, oh this one is a doozy for you. Prices differ between the two hotels by being 7% cheaper to being 39% more. Cosmos Café and Market: -- Breakfast -- • Steel Cut Oatmeal where the difference is Almonds vs Walnuts and dried fruits vs caramelized bananas. Terra Nova is $8 vs $5.50. • Greek Yogurt Parfait is $8 vs $7. -- Lunch/Dinner -- • Quesadilla is cheaper at $11. HOWEVER If you want to add Chicken to it, a Chicken Quesadilla is $17 since the chicken add on is $6 more. Stella Nova, a Chicken Quesadilla is $15 • A Calzone is $15 vs $14 at Stella Nova. • Wings are $14 vs $13 • The Kids Menu item, "Very Cheesy Mac-n-Cheese" is $10 vs $9 at Stella Nova *Stella Nova's Dinner menu is at parity to Terra Luna* • The New York Cheese Cake is cheaper at $9 vs $10. Moonrise Bar/Moonrise Grill • Wings are $14 vs $13 • Terra Burger is $0.50 more then the Stella Burger • An Ice Cream Sandwich is $8 vs $9 at Stella Nova, only difference is that Stella Nova as "SN" in the name. • Spirit-Free cocktails or in this case, Mocktails are $12 flat vs being priced at $8-10 at Stella Nova. This represents an increase of 20-50% See for yourself: Stella Nova https://cosmos-cafe-market.constantcontactsites.com/ https://galaxy-bar-galaxy-grill.constantcontactsites.com/ https://nova-bar.constantcontactsites.com/ Terra Luna: https://omega-cafe-market.constantcontactsites.com/ https://moonrise-bar-moonrise-grill.constantcontactsites.com/ https://luna-bar.constantcontactsites.com/

Stella Nova definitely will and it's already being advertised as a perk for that hotel. I'm not too sure about Terra Luna since you'd have to cross the Kirkman extension including that weird roundabout thing. I suppose at some point they could build something similar to the bridge between Cabana Bay and Sapphire Falls and allow a walking path that way.
