Step‑by‑Step: How to Use the Glunz Virtual Tour to Choose Your Room
1) Start with your must‑haves
Make a quick checklist before you click:
- View: Do you want direct oceanfront or a tranquil island‑side outlook?
- Space & kitchen: Suites and villas include full kitchens or kitchenettes; standard rooms include a mini‑fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
- Bed setup: Standards offer King or Double Queen options.
- Accessibility: ADA‑compliant choices include the Deluxe Oceanfront Beach Level Suite (ADA Compliant) and the Oceanfront Beach Level King Standard (ADA Compliant).

2) Navigate by room category
Use the tour (and the Accommodations sections for Villas, Suites, Ocean View Standards, and Island View Standards) to jump directly into the types that fit your checklist. This speeds up comparisons and keeps you focused on the essentials.
3) Compare views and layouts side by side
As you pan and zoom:
- Look through windows and patio doors to gauge view orientation (oceanfront vs. island side).
- Scan the living space to see seating, dining areas, and how the room flows—especially helpful for families and longer stays.
- In villas and suites, locate the kitchen or kitchenette to confirm it meets your cooking style.

- The private beach and two oceanfront pools
- The oceanfront hot tub and fire pits
- Havana Jack’s Oceanside Restaurant & Bar and the tiki bar

Proximity can shape your daily rhythm—early ocean dips, sunset hangs by the fire pit, or easy lunch runs to Havana Jack’s.
5) Confirm in‑room essentials for comfort and convenience
- Standards: Mini‑fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—great for simple breakfasts or snacks.
- Suites & Villas: Full kitchens or kitchenettes—ideal for families, extended stays, and home‑style meals.

6) Use the tour to plan your playtime
- Spot the kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles included in the resort fee and picture your perfect day.
- Identify on‑site fishing spots shown in property scenes.
- Find fire pits and hammocks for evening relaxation.

Pro Tips for Getting the Most from the Glunz Virtual Tour
- Go full‑screen and slow down: Pan, zoom, and linger—small layout details (like dining nooks or patio access) can make a big difference.
- Screen‑cap favorites: Save views of top contenders to compare side by side.

- Choose ADA with confidence: If you need accessible accommodations, view the Deluxe Oceanfront Beach Level Suite (ADA Compliant) and the Oceanfront Beach Level King Standard (ADA Compliant) on the tour to assess entry, bathroom layout, and proximity to amenities.
- Plan dining your way: Prefer on‑site meals? Note how close your room is to Havana Jack’s Oceanside Restaurant & Bar and the tiki bar. Cooking more? Focus on suites or villas with kitchen facilities.
