It's certainly in a "safe" area. It's right at the original main entrance to Westgate Villas sitting basically in an otherwise open field. It was built as a motel (looks like a Holiday Inn design) but was a failure as that and was converted to a timeshare in the 90's. It was the first timeshare we ever stayed at and as a first stay it was much better than a hotel room. However then we were exposed to purpose built timeshares in Orlando as well as other areas and, compared to those, it is not so good. In fact in most areas with timeshares it would be barely acceptable IMHO. In Orlando, home to some of the best timeshare properties in the world, it is a diaster. In fact I often use it as an example of what to avoid in any timeshare ownership. Not that it's not useable as a free stay or a bonus week but it isn't at all what timesharing in Orlando is all about. I would avoid it. ------------------ John Chase Use Email Icon above for contact address [This message has been edited by timeos2 (edited 05-28-2005).] IP: Logged |
