Playa Linda Beach Resort Review

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Picturesque Playa Linda Beach Resort timeshare is set on a snow-white stretch of beach, with lovely gardens, a tropical lobby, and outstanding on-site facilities. This fun-in-the-sun resort offers restaurants, bars, a shopping arcade, health club, whirlpools, tennis courts, ongoing activities, and warm Aruban hospitality. All suites are fully appointed vacation homes with spacious terraces overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Casinos, shopping, dining areas, and nightspots are nearby.

I would recommend this resort to anyone…couples, and families alike. It is on what is my opinion the best beach in Aruba, between the Hyatt and the Holiday Inn. The Marriott is next door to the Holiday Inn. If you are a beach person, this is the place for you. The grounds are lush, tropical, and very beautiful. We stayed in a one bedroom which faced the pool and ocean. It was a beautiful view. The even numbered rooms in this building have the same view, whereas I believe the odd numbered rooms have a view of the Holiday Inn and beach views.

The balconies are complete with table and chairs, a daybed and pull-out couch in the living room, a dining room table for four, with a 5th chair that matched in the unit, and a Queen size bed in the bedroom. There were closets and dresser drawers in both the bedroom and living room. There was an electronic safe in the closet in the living room. Both the bedroom and living room contained TV’s. Although the one-bedrooms sleep five, this would be a tight fit if there were five adults in the unit. Two adults and 3 children would be fine.

The one-bedroom timeshare was of average size. The bathroom was of average size and some amenities like soap were provided in it. The timeshare unit in general was well maintained and very bright. In addition, I should mention that there was an iron and ironing board, blender, coffee maker, and the usual items in the unit.

With respect to the thatched huts, most are taken early. They also had a two for one happy hour every day from 1-2, and 3-5 at the beach bar. As for the pool, they had a small children’s pool, and a nice sized pool for everyone else complete with a beautiful waterfall.

There were planned activities for children throughout the day. The timeshare resort maintains a schedule of activities each day including water aerobics and bingo.

The resort has several stores on the premises including a mini-market, Subway sandwich shop, and a TCBY/ ice cream store. There are two bus stops a block or two in either direction from the resort. The resort also has a computer terminal on site.

For those of you who gamble, the casinos in Aruba were basically all single room facilities which had about 8 table games and the usual craps and roulette tables with the exception of the Crystal Casino downtown. This casino is larger than the others, including the Marriott and the Hyatt. All casinos thankfully have $5 black-jack tables every night and day including the weekends. Not much by way of entertainment in the casinos at night.

Marriott’s Villas at Doral Review

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Marriott’s Villas at Doral is situated on the grounds of Miami’s renowned Doral resort. It assures a rejuvenating escape with a distinct South Florida flair. The two-bedroom timeshare vacation villas include a private balcony, separate living and dining areas, an oversized soaking tub, fully equipped kitchen, and washer/dryer. Guests will enjoy the resort’s outdoor pool area, fitness center and convenience store, as well as access to a 120,000-square-foot spa, world-class golf courses, a tennis center.

Doral is a gorgeous timeshare resort and the Villas at Doral are just what you expect from Marriott timeshare. The new décor is tropical and very pleasant. The Resort is spacious with a non-lock off. Kids will enjoy the numerous floats in the Villa pool and the waterslide and waterfalls in the Doral pools. The resort provides a free and prompt shuttle between the Villas and the Doral. At the Villas, there is also a game room with air hockey and pool table.

The staff was very friendly. The area is a string of pastel 20s style buildings overlooking a strip of green and beach next to the ocean. Each timeshare building has a patio of tables where people sit, eat and watch.

The master suite was up to Marriott standards – with an extra large shower. The second bedroom has a single queen bed. All kitchen appliances worked well, as did the washer/dryer. The view from the balcony includes a large lake and the Great White golf course. The grounds were impeccably maintained and very attractive.

The pool is large and clean, with plenty of room for sun bathing and swimming. The BBQ grills were clean, worked well, and were lit promptly when I requested to use one.

The Marriott Golf Resort and Spa is right across the street, and offers five outstanding golf courses. The spa looked absolutely gorgeous. The shuttle van from the Villas to the Resort was quick and efficient.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. This resort seemed to offer more activities than some Marriott timeshares, and I enjoyed a dinner out for Cuban food. There are plenty of restaurants within an easy drive. There is a very nice supermarket less than one mile away.

Clarion Suites Crystal Beach Timeshare Review

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Clarion Suites Crystal Beach timeshare resort is right on the beach, just minutes away from the exclusive shopping of the Bal Harbour Shops or the exciting nightlife of the South Beach Art Deco District. The one-bedroom suites are elegantly decorated and completely furnished to accommodate up to four people. Each suite features a separate bedroom with a queen-sized bed, living room with sofa bed, and mini-kitchen. The sundeck offers a whirlpool and pool. The resort provides complimentary membership to Crystal Beach Fitness on-site. Valet parking is offered for a fee.

Every day of the seven was in the 80s, no rain, perfect beach and pool weather. The warm powdery sand, turquoise water, and private pool right on the beach were way above expectations. The unit is very nicely done and has the requisite cable TV, VCR, stereo, mini kitchen, etc. that you’ll likely appreciate. Free continental breakfast between 8:30 and 10:30 was most welcome. The bedroom bed was very comfortable.

For timeshare owners, valet parking is free…but there’s an enormous free public parking lot one block away. Likewise, an incredible on-site health center with all manner of fitness equipment is free as well. Indeed, that health center was perhaps the best one I’ve ever seen/used at any hotel/resort where I’ve stayed.

Next door, there’s a internet cafe allowing one to do whatever one needs to do on the computer for a mere $1 per twenty minutes. Miami Beach and Miami have many fine restaurants, places to go, things to do, etc. The resort’s 71st and Collins Ave. location makes getting to “the mainland” a breeze as a causeway across the intracoastal waterway is straight down 71st. The units have incredible views.

Enchanted Isle Timeshare Review

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Just south of Fort Lauderdale, Enchanted Isle timeshare Resort offers a perfect base for exploring the attractions of southeastern Florida. Water sports are popular along Hollywood’s beaches. Deep-sea charters can be arranged at various locations close by, and many other activities are either on site or nearby. Golf, tennis, and bicycling can be enjoyed year-round. To complete your vacation, take advantage of the many restaurants, shopping malls, and nightclubs in the area.

Enchanted Isle is one of those places that are a pleasure to own. It’s got the best beach in the area and its real private. This timeshare resort is definitely showing her age but that is what is charming about this place. It’s what you expect in a Florida beach vacation. You can keep all those fancy Ritz like resorts where you can’t hear the surf from your high rise balcony and you are a huge trek to the sand. Not here, just open your door and poof sand in your toes. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Recent improvements to this timeshare resort include wireless internet connection although it works best by the pool, a new owner’s room where the office used to be for having doughnuts and coffee in the morning. Parking can be tricky at times because this timeshare resort was built before 2 cars per family was the norm. You have everything you need to have an awesome relaxing vacation here.

The Reef Resort Review

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

This low-rise timeshare resort sits on 1,450 feet of pristine white-sand beach. Each beautifully furnished, spacious villa boasts a large terrace, fully equipped kitchen, whirlpool tub, and full maid service. Amenities include an oceanfront restaurant and bar, swimming pools, tennis court, spa, gym, and convenience store. Guests will enjoy some of the finest scuba diving and game fishing in the world. Excellent snorkeling is just a short swim from the beach. Duty-free shopping, nightlife, and a vast selection of dining options are a short drive away.

Beautiful very well maintained unit truly only steps away from your patio door to the ocean. Beautiful place, beautiful resort and great business management, what more could you want or ask for out of a time-share. While I own Marriott timeshare I would have to rate the Royal Reef right up there on the same scale.

It is so small, it is not crowded, we almost always had the pool to ourselves, there was always an open barstool, and kayaks were always available. Parking was a breeze, and the staff could not have been friendlier.

The dive shop in the lobby- Ocean Frontiers, deserves its’ high ratings, they were fantastic. We used the complimentary kayak, and the complementary internet.
The kitchen was fully stocked. The kids never wanted to leave the resort after coming home from the dive.

Club Land’or Resort Review

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Enjoy a unique combination of primitive beauty and tropical timeshare pleasures at Club Land’or “A Land’or International Resort” on Paradise Island, which lies parallel to Nassau. Soak in the Caribbean sun or dive in the clear ocean waters. Play golf or tennis nearby. Take a day to explore the island by motor-scooter or a resort bicycle. Don’t forget Bay Street, site of the largest market in the world for straw items. The resort’s Blue Lagoon Restaurant has been recommended by the Minister of Tourism as “not to be missed.”

This timeshare resort is an average resort in a great location. It is located on the marina between the Harborside Atlantis timeshares and the Atlantis. The Atlantis basically built around Club Land Or. Most units have fantastic views of the harbor, and all appear to have balconies. Club Land Or’ is even closer to the Atlantis than the Harborside timeshare.

The staff and timeshare guests are what make this place a nice place to stay. The furnishings are old and outdated but the unit is clean. The one bedroom unit does not have a separate wall enclosing it. Instead, the bedroom is separated by a curtain that can either be pulled back, or pulled around the bed. You will love every minute of sitting outside on my balcony watching the yachts in the harbor.

This timeshare had many planned activities for their guests. There was always something going on. There was a bar-b-que, fashion show, and a party boat that left from the resort and took Club Land Or’s guests out for the day. There is an outdoor pool as well as an outdoor jacuzzi. There is also an outdoor bar around which people seem to gather at night. It has a TV that is basically the focal point. The resort has a very nice restaurant on the premesis that is fairly high priced. They also have a lounge and bar area that serves a very inexpensive buffet breakfast.

Guests at Club Land Or do NOT have access to the pools, slides, or even beach chairs at the Atlantis. Nor can you tour the grounds at the Atlantis for free. The resort will give you a card which allows you to enter the beach at the Atlantis through one particular entrance…but that’s it. The beach is public so all you really get is a shorter way to gain access to the beach.

Island Seas Resort Review

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

This tropical island timeshare resort is surrounded by a host of activities. Relax on a secluded beach or enjoy the pool, hot tub, or native stone waterfall. Experience some “Floribbean” cuisine at the island’s largest tiki hut restaurant and bar or just float up to the swim-up pool bar for a refreshing tropical drink. The clear blue waters offer some of the best water- sports, scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, and deep-sea fishing on the island. The resort offers a variety of restaurants, entertainment, and golf courses nearby. Island Seas Resort is the ideal choice for your vacation home.

The location of the timeshare resort is a bit remote. There are no other restaurants to walk to. Taxis were available whenever we needed one. We stayed in a two bedroom unit that was adequate. The unit was clean. We did have daily maid service. The grounds we OK. The pool was OK. The beach was great. The resort does not have the amenities that many we have been to in Mexico and the US have.

The beach is lovely, although if you walk a distance in either direction from the resort, you encounter all kinds of garbage (plastic bottles, paper, old batteries, etc.) The garbage tarnished what otherwise would have been an idyllic location.

There were new mattresses and box springs on all of the beds (at least those in the master bedrooms). They do need to get fitted bottom sheets, however. As we had a full kitchen, we went to the Winn Dixie and purchased food for breakfast and snacks. We ate at several excellent restaurants around the Island.

We had one breakfast and one lunch at the onsite restaurant. The resort’s restaurant food was just OK. The service was very slow. We went to the local fish fry and agree that it was a great experience. The music and dancing were exhilarating and the food very good, if perhaps a bit artery clogging. Also went to PIER I and saw the sharks. If you call in advance and make a reservation for the porch, you do not have to interrupt your dinner to see the feeding frenzy.

The Port Lucaya Marketplace is a great place to shop and just people watch. It is a very short distance from Island Seas Resort. Afterward, we watched a really great show in the Count Basie Square. You can visit old caves that somehow go underwater to the ocean (you cannot swim in them without a permit), but the beach is fantastic!!! This is a fantastic island.

Island Seas Resort would be good for families and couples. I personally don’t think this resort deserves a 5 star rating. Mostly due to the customer service, the just OK units, grounds, restaurant and pool.

Lea Casa Review

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Lea Casa timeshare is located in the Casa de Emdeko Complex just off Alii Drive, the main road that travels through Kailua-Kona Village along the ocean. Lea Casa offers one-bedroom timeshare accommodations that sleep four. Each unit is equipped with a kitchen, air conditioning, and sleeper sofa.

This timeshare resort features two beautiful swimming pools: an oceanfront saltwater pool with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, and a sparkling freshwater pool in the center of the complex surrounded by lush tropical gardens. There is a quiet sandy beach with lounge chairs set behind a lava rock wall. Lea Casa also offers three gas barbecues and two seating areas, providing the opportunity to cook meals and eat outside under the stars.

While on Hawaii, sign up for an off-road adventure tour that combines the incredible natural beauty of the Big Island with rugged off-roading vehicles. Going off the well-traveled path offers you sites not available to those who choose to stay on the main highways. Hawaii is incredibly lush and diverse, and many hidden secrets will reveal themselves if you veer left or right just a little bit.

This timeshare resort are one bedroom units with one bath that sleeps 4. It is also air conditioned which makes it nice in the summer. The furniture was wicker. The unit also has a lanai which was very nice in the evenings. It is located in Kailua-Kona which is a quaint old tourist town. You will need a car to be able to see all of the sights on the Big Island as there is so much to see and do. One of the nicest things about Lea Casa is the short distance to the beach. It is only about 100 feet from your unit, where they supplied beach furniture. I enjoyed walking to the beach in the early evening to watch the fabulous sunsets. You cannot swim on the beach since it is totally rocks, but Lea Casa has two swimming pools, a fresh-water and a salt-water plus a jacuzzi.

The two bedroom unit which consisted of two bedrooms, living room, dining area, two bathrooms with whirlpool tubs and two balconies. Everything was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked. The unit overlooked the golf course and the Caribbean.

The on-site dive shop was great. You can’t help but love it when you have 80-100 feet visibility and the water is 86 degrees at 100 feet.
