| - This is my first time staying at a timeshare, and as such, more seasoned vacationers may not find this review as informative. I had low expectations, as one of my old schoolmates rated this place 1 star. When I first think of timeshare, I think of condos; turns out this is more along the lines of a hotel or extended stay. I also have no idea what the costs are for staying here. I guess I could ask, but I'm too lazy.
Our family was able to stay at my uncle's timeshare for a week, which was a combination of two suites that could be interconnected to each other, the Royal Tahitian and the Moorea (http://www.tahitivillage.com/Tahiti-Village-Room-Floorplans.aspx). Both suites could accommodate 4 people each (if not more) with a fold-out sofa. Kitchenette area with a fridge (small in Moorea, regular in Royal Tahitian). Two televisions in each suite (living room and bedroom), with the usual wonky television menu system as any other hotel.
The differences in room sizes is 2:1. The Royal Tahitian also adds features such as a washer/dryer, a steam shower, a personal jacuzzi... Quite nice.
Parking wasn't much of a problem. There are a few that are next to the hotel rooms, but there is also a parking garage in the back.
There is a large lagoon pool, a lazy river, and a jacuzzi. All are shallow all around, going no deeper than 4 feet, so no diving. And lots of lifeguards on duty. The lazy river is really nice, shaped like a 4 leaf clover, constantly flowing in a clockwise motion as you drift in their circular tubes, or swim the opposite way for a nice workout. Too bad they close the earliest, around 6pm. The community pool has a small beach section, great for the kids. Stays open til 8pm. The hot tub is 24 hours. Take advantage of this. :-)
Located on Las Vegas Blvd, south of the Strip and Las Vegas sign. Head south and you can hit Silverton, South Point, and M. Next door is an outlet mall and 2 Dunkin Donut locations!
No free wifi in the rooms, but there are a few hot spots available if you get the password from the front desk. One is in the main lobby, another is in the Denny's/Tahiti Joe's, and the last one is in Tower 5 10th floor lobby (though I could manage wifi from the first floor... well, kinda). I didn't even realize they had wifi areas til the end of my stay, and had gone to some located by the outlets (McDonald's, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, IHOP, FedEx...).
There's a 24 hr access workout area, which is somewhat decent. One of the cycles weren't working, and I couldn't get the heart rate meters to work. Two televisions in there to keep you from getting bored, and a unisex restroom.
There are a few BBQ areas outside, so go bring on your steaks! I saw 2 supermarkets just south of here.
Oh, I have to say that they don't do room service daily, so if that's something you want, look elsewhere. I didn't mind it... less tip to give. Guess it makes sense since it's like cleaning an apartment. While we were there, housekeeping came in midweek to clean, and another time as we were checking out.
Staying here removes the fun out of having a casino in the same complex, but if you're a young family, a casual gambler, or just doing some sightseeing in the Las Vegas area, then this place might be just the spot.
