We exchanged in during the first week in November 2007, through RCI. We
had a two bedroom unit which was great. . The resort and pool area were
relatively quiet all week and we had great weather. We would definitely
return, but it appears that they no longer exchange with RCI [not in latest
directory].
We aren't golfers but wanted to be in this area.
This is not a large resort. Apparently, some of the units are Lock-Out Units
but ours was not....just a plain, regular, 2BR-2B.
The units do have cross-through ventilation which
is nice. The balcony can be accessed from the living rooom or the Master
Bedroom and is screened in. There were a few nicks and scratches on the
walls, etc., but that is normal wear and tear. The kitchen was better
equipped than most.
My only complaints were:
1) Computer dial-up in the room was the slowest I have experienced in my
travels. WiFi was available in the clubhouse and was anticipated in the
rooms in the near future. If this is an important issue with you, call first to
confirm room accessibility.
2) They did not offer an exercise room onsite, which was a disappointment.
We didn't want to have to drive to a gym or to pay extra for it. Considering
the quality of the resort, this issue was a surprise. But then again, it is a
small resort and there was no room available to be an exercise room.
3) My usual complaint with overnight accomodations, particularly timeshares:
they've upgraded to the thicker mattresses but haven't taken the time or
expense to upgrade the mattress pads to fit the bed and stay tucked in.
The sheets did appear to fit. The bedrooms were really nice otherwise.
And the MBR had a really nice whirlpool tub. Though we did need to have
maintenance come and look at it [twice] because we could not get it
started.
4) Their VCR is outdated. The VCR played only the VHS tapes (can anyone
still find those?) and the CD player was complicated enough that you could
not figure it out and they didn't provide a manual.
Even with our complaints, we'd go back. Too bad about their changing their
affiliation.
