We enjoyed our stay but the 17 steps up to the bathrooms and bedrooms were a bit of a nuisance for senior citizens. Also 3.2 miles to Mallory Square would hardly qualify as "in walking distance" for us. The place was clean and quiet and staff was helpful. There was no bathroom to use while you were at the pool. We enjoyed our stay but would have liked to know that we were going to have to go upstairs to the bathrooms and pay $10 to $20 dollars to park near Mallory Square..

Booked thru Interval too. Nice 2 bed / 2 bath unit. Clean. Some updating had been done to the unit we were in.
Great small deck to sit outside & have coffee/cocktails. Need a car if staying on this side of the island.

If you compare this to renting a house, there will be no surprises! We did a timeshare exchange through Interval International, and knew that it did not have a 5-star rating. The resort is quiet, and the pool relaxing. The units are "dated" but clean. There are no housekeeping services - you take out your own garbage, and exchange your dirty towels for clean ones. The office is only open 8-5 Mon - Fri, limited on Sat & Sun (which seems odd since most people check in and out over the weekend). There is no on-site restaurant and no organized activities. There are washers/dryers on each floor of the resort, but they are not in each unit and they were pay machines. After relaxing at the pool each day, we drove (5 minutes) to Duval and Mallory Square and had a wonderful time. So, if you are self-sufficient and not looking for a 5-star resort, this is a nice place to stay.

We booked our reservation through Intervel and we were pleasantly surprised. After hearing all the bad reviews we weren't sure what to expect. The lady at the front desk was very nice and all the people at the towel exchange were great and always gave us what we needed. The room was a little outdated, but everything was nice and clean. My only complaints would be that the vent in our bedroom didn't blow out as much air as I would have liked, and there was also a lot of construction going on, but it didn't really bother us too much. The pool & hot tub area were both well kept and we enjoyed the pool, especially at night! The marina was beautiful and very peaceful to sit at. The bar looked nice, but we weren't there enough to visit. Really pleased after all the horrible reviews. It's also in a great location. Away from all the loud clubs for a peaceful night and very close to the beaches!! Had a great time!
