Great location!!
Pros:

We stayed a couple days during the week of July 4th. Great location right by the beach. The kids enjoyed the pool more than the beach.

Wonderful!
Pros:

We only stayed a couple days but it was super comfortable and clean. Love that we had efficiency rooms to do a bit of cooking. This place allows smoking on grounds but not in rooms. Being a smoker, I appreciated that but I also appreciated how respectful all the smokers were, including myself. Lots of receptacles available and they are kept clean and organized. It IS possible to be a respectful and clean smoker. Pool area is gorgeous and this place is right on the beach! We really had a nice time and felt very comfortable there.

Overall a nice place
Pros:

Great little property, staff was really nice & timeshare owners were friendly. (Except for the rowdy ones next door at Fantasy II.)
Bathroom a tad small, but it's an older property. Murphy bed was comfortable. Having a dehumidifier in the room was ok, just had to unplug when we didn't want it running.

Pros:

It's a little strange how the check-in and check-out process works. We arrived at night, I had already called earlier and the keys were in an old locker, we had the password, everything worked out. There was a leak in the refrigerator and it was fixed in the morning but no credit was offered for the inconvenience. Complimentary parking was great.

Pros:

The people above us must of been playing basketball in their room. The room was worth the price we paid for it. Nice pool area! Love the tables outside the rooms, but not that you could smoke at them, right outside our room.

Pros:

The property was nasty. Therooms was smelling. I change 3 rooms and then was given a humidifier to clean the air.
The sofa bed was nasty with stain on the mattress. You people give me the wrong room to beginning with.

Pros:

Where to start, we show up to check in to our room and walk in to an unoccupied office that was not locked and nobody was on duty. After calling the number on rhe window to tell someonewe were there to check into our room that we had reserved they tell us we are not in the system, then say we might be next door on another propertywith the same name so we walk over , we were not in that system as well and went back , we were told again that we have no reervation under my name, finally after 40 minutes of back and forth on the phone they finally find us in the system and the only reason they dis not find us was becauseof theincompetence of the office staff who didn'tdo there job, then had to wait for another 20 minutes to have someone drive tot rhe property to check us in, my wife and i exhaustedat this point asked if there was a room on the first floor available becauseof me having a bad spine and right leg, and being in pain from a 2 1/2 hour motorcyle ride, we were told no and why what's the problem? Like really? Accommodatingmy ass, and yes were rooms available the whole time on the first floor not taken suring our 2 day stay, now for the supposed queen bed in the description turning out to be a POS murphy bed...it was like sleeping on plywood with padding i am now in more pain then before we got there, air condition was mediocre at best and made for a hot and uncomfortable sleep, oh and lets start on the list of rules they give for guests, then a $30 clean bill we do?
