| - I travel a lot and this place isn't what you would expect for the price. I'm also a Bluegreen Resort Owner, and I can honestly say that I wasn't impressed by this resort. I've spent over $20,000 investing in this company (which I actually highly value being an owner in) but this particular location isn't what I was hoping for.
PROS: Kitchen and living room were perfect with space, appliances, and furniture. The propane fire place was a nice touch. The check in Concierge service was the best human interaction I experienced. Those women know the lay of the land and gave great local recommendations. Also the adult pool area and bar were up to par.
CONS: The bathroom had zero hooks to rehang your towels or wet clothes to dry. Bed was ok at best but seriously people need more than 1 sheet, 1 thin blanket, and 2 pillows to call yourselves a 'resort' for couples. The 'water proof' seals around the shower were exactly the opposite and actually sent water onto the floor during each use. Plan on using some towels to keep the floor dry. Also the shower had no shelves so expect to keep your soap on the shower floor along with your wash cloth.If you want coffee or condiments that are usually offered in good size quantity be sure to order extra upon arrival. If you want a nice lounge area or club house like most hotels or resorts have then expect to be disappointed. A 3 seater area next to the check in desk with a coffee machine that's locked up for 20 hours out of 24 during the day is what your going to get. Want on site food? Better go to the local grocery store then. Unless you want your vacation to be entirely from the pool side bar which is pretty much upscale skating rink/bowling alley food. House keeping is only done if you request it. And when we ordered some extra towels after staying for 3 days and having dirty ones faster than usual for lack of places to dry them, the housekeeping people were somewhat rude that they had to deliver them to us. There is zero privacy between the interior walls of the rooms. You can hear everything from other people's rooms so sleeping in may be challenging if your neighbor is slamming things around and being loud to rush out to meet the ridicules check out time of 10am. If your 1 min late it's a $50 fee. If your 2 hrs late it's an extra days worth of room time fee. Bottom line, if your gonna checkout late, prepare to stay an extra day to get your money's worth. Fitness center was ok, but moderate/serious athletes will need to get creative for a great workout.
Overall, seriously under impressed by this Bluegreen resort site. I do not plan on coming back here.
