Happy Holidays Everyone.

My husband surprised myself and my 3 year old this Christmas. He is taking us to Provo to one of the Ocean Club Resorts. They won't guarantee which one we end up at, but we can make a request.

So which one should we request? Where are they located compared to other resorts? Which one has the swim-up bar?

Thanks for any feedback!

I prefer Ocean Club West. It is more centrally located on Grace Bay Beach, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. It's not really a swim up bar in the pool - you would go to the bar for drinks, and then there are some seats on the side of the bar area.

We just stayed at the OC and it was great. I think the biggest difference is location. If you want to be more central to other resorts and restaurants OCW is the way to go. If you want to be on the more secluded side of Grace Bay OC is the way to go. We enjoyed walking from OC away from the development and having the beach to our selves.

you can't go wrong with either...staying at one give you the priviledge of using both...they have a free shuttle between the 2 resorts and it's great to have 2 facilities to take advantage of...

we have lots of photos of ocean club west and some of ocean club in the gallery at our website if you want to look at them...

you'll love either resort...have a great trip...

Thanks everyone! They both sound great. I understand there is a lot of construction around one of them, which one depends on who you ask LOL, but I'm sure either one will be great.
