    For those of you with nostalgia for good old times, and for those just curious:
    AllphaRooms booking site still has pre-renovation picture of the resort!
    Especially interesting are the room interior views: how much more comfortable and romantic they were :-(

    They look dated, and yet, very sensible, and pretty, and comfortable. Perhaps they will go back to something similar eventually as styles are pretty cyclical. Thanks for the link!

    I do miss the mirrored wall. Made the room seem much larger, much easier to check your theme costumes, and doubled as a real life hi def big screen ;)

    Every time I check out of TTR, I list the shortcomings of the room in survey. I do not think they listen. From other posts, the same architect Karim Rashid does the new Temptation in Punta Cana - too bad! Expect the same "trendy" design, inconvenient and sometimes even dangerous, like the black staircase from the lobby to restaurant and pool level :-(

    Those mirror wardrobes bring back nostalgia. I still remember the day when my room was renovated I wanted to have those big mirrors in my room. However, I need some help with the wall braces as they are wearing so I need to replace them, any suggestions?

    I liked the silver apples...

    While a "renovation" WAS needed, as the building itself was trying to fall apart in a few places and infrastructure (right word?) stuff needed a serious upgrade to newer materials (plumbing, wiring, etc), the rooms themselves were very cool. I didn't care that they were "dated." The reno "un-dated" them and now they're sort of ... sucky...

    As we all know, TTR isn't about the rooms though.

    I think the overall theme of this thread is we miss the floor to ceiling mirrors in the rooms! I like the style of the renovation, just wish the mirrors were apart of it!

    We miss the curtains, those bloody clanking blinds, when you just want a little light, without waking your partner.........or to slip out onto the balcony , again without waking everybody....
