I am sure if you call them ahead of time and review your concerns with them they can tell you what to expect when your there. Be sure to talk to someone who is on site and be sure to get their name.

When we checked in I noticed the remark on their paperwork and we were assigned a unit where there was no construction going on at all around us. It was wonderful. For anyone that knows the resort we were high up on the hill on the road that is the first left past the swimming pool unit 171C. Right before the gate for the road that leads back to the stables, which were closed because of the construction. Actually there was no constuction the lenght of that road although there was some at the end of the road where it branches to the left at the stable gate. Most of the construction pretty heavy construciton is for the waterpark area near the entrance and up the roads to the right. they said they will be adding about 3,000 more units when they are done. It was a bit of a drive from the entrance and we were the whole top or third floor so had two flights of steps to climb which was a small price to pay for the fact we had no one over our heads to worry about making noise or on the sides, or construction and a nice view out the deck looking down over the hill and the stream on the other side of the street.

The unit was very clean, kitchen well supplied, nicely decorated. Liked the fireplace. Nice jacuzzi garden but in the bedroom. Although it was just the two of us I had booked a two bedroom in case we had anyone else coming with us. Rooms were a touch on the small side but this I believe after seeing the one bedroom models was because it was a two bedroom. The one bedroom delux models we saw had more spacious living room, kitchen and bedroom and bath area which were probably lost to the second bedroom. There was a one bedroom model that was not spacious and could feel a bit confining if you had a lot of bad weather and had to spend a lot of time in there. And no we didn't do a sales tour. I think we were being set up for one, when we were shown to our unit by one of their staff they book you for a maintence survey before you leave. It sounded a bit suspicious so I made the comment that I hoped it wasn't a sales pitch as we already had three timeshare and that we only buy resale. He claimed it wasn't but when we went at the scheduled time two days before our departure I remined him againt that all our timeshares were bought resale. I could tell from the questions, most of which didn't have a thing to do with maintence of the unit or what we liked about he resort but were similar to the intro questions that are asked at the sales demos that if it wasn't going to be a sales pitch it would be a lead into scheduling one, but he went quickly and even seemed to skip over some of the ones I noticed on his page and we were done and out of there in 15 minutes. I asked about the models not that we were wanting to buy just curious and he said we could go over and look at them on our own which we did.
