We have stayed at both and they both have their pros and cons. We have even stayed at Ms. Martindale's condo at Majestic Sun. I can assure you that the one on 9th floor is absolutely awesome and the view is unbelievable. We also like Beach Retreat because you have a jacuzzi in the Master bath if you get a three bedroom and also it is a much smaller complex. The pool and hot tub at Beach Retreat is exceptionally nice. It is easier to park and get to your condo at Beach Retreat and it is also a newer complex. Majestic Sun has more to offer and has more action you might say. Beach Retreat is more family oriented. They are both great places and we stay at both.
