| - I had to write about the Orange Tree Golf Resort because I own a timeshare unit there. I bought a unit in 1994, and back then, they were 1 of about 4 timeshares in Phoenix. Now, it seems there are dozens of timeshares in the Phoenix area. Currently, the resort is in the porcess of upgrading all of the rooms, so if you book there, ask for an remodeled room. I haven't seen the newly remodeled rooms, but based on the old style, the rooms are great. The bigest complaint people seem to have about the rooms are the lack of a full kitchen. But keep in mind, the Orange Tree was not built as timeshares, rather, it was a former hotel that went bankrupt. The old units had a "college sized" refridgerator, but the remodeled units will have a full sized refridgerator and flat creen LCD TV. The bathroom is the best part of the units, with a two person water jet tub and a walk-in shower and television. The resort is in a great location, just a few miles from downtown Scottsdale, or about a 20 minute drive to downtown Phoenix. The on-site restaurant and bar are great, and if you are a golfer, the course is fantastic.
