We just returned from POR. We were in building 18. AB side, preferred room. We found it to be almost 'messy' with all the trees and the leaves all over the ground everywhere. The pool area was also very shaded, there was no sun because of all the trees. Lots of leaves and stuff in the pool too. We walked over to the Mansion pool one day and preferred that area. It was clean, manicured lawn, nice sunny pool, more open. If we stay there again (which I don't think we will because we didn't love this resort) we will definitely request the mansion side.
