The two things that we didn't like about the Gardenia were:

1) the two secondary BRs/den were considerably smaller than the Lantana which the the Lilly seems to be modeled after (and, yes, they are also smaller than the Lilly secondary BRs according to the floor plans that I see)

2) There was no door between the MBR and the masterbath area which meant that if someone came to bed after the other person and wanted to brush his/her teeth or use the bathroom, the light from the bathroom spilled out into the bedroom area thus bothering the person trying to sleep.

The thing that we absolutely loved about the Gardenia, however, was the quad sliding doors that completely opened up into the lanai. This was not available in the Lantana, sad to say.
