Being new owners, we decided to try a 3 night/4 day mini vacation to check out the resort. We were too early to check in so we drove around the resort to get our bearings. beautifully landscaped and well maintained. Golf courses looked amazing. We had reserved a 1-bedroom suite in the North village. We stayed on the 3rd floor overlooking the Legends Walk course. We were next door to the north pool and Paisan Pizza. Room was spacious, very clean with a nice screened-in balcony. Bed was comfy and the kitchen provided all the necessities. The North village pool was fairly quiet. The River Island lazy river and pool area is beautiful. It was quiet when we were there but I can see it being very busy in the spring. The West Village pool was where most of the action was. Breezes Grill was great for drinks and Taco Tuesday. Say hi to Arby and Miriam who work the bar. Lots of fun. We also ate at River Island Grill. It was good also. Paisan Pizza was awesome. Highly recommend. Keep in mind, the entire resort is "cashless". You can charge to your room or pay with a credit card anywhere in the resort. All the staff we met were very friendly and asked about our stay. We look forward to our return in February. Read less

River Island Grilling was sub par….way overpriced and every dish was cold.Breezes was very good. Grounds were immaculate and units were updated and clean. Very nice place and updated constantly….would definitely go again.

The unit was adjacent to the green, spacious two bedroom and secure! There plent of towels and having a washer and dryer in the unit - wonderful! The resort was in a great location, not far from the airport and in proximity of the various attractions. Great for families!

The resort is beautiful but my mom is a club owner and is pressured every time to go to a presentation where they try to sell her more shares. When she told the sales person at the presentation that she had just retired and was not in a financial position at the moment to buy more shares the sales person was outright rude to her and told my mom she was wasting the sales persons time. She was very stressed and unhappy after attending. I would not recommend attending these sessions that they will try to pressure you and bribe you into going to. They make it sound good by offering you things like 100$ but it can take hours and it is very high pressure and stressful. Not worth it during what should be a fun vacation. There are also quite a few hidden fees and a lack of services that you usually expect from a resort or hotel. One being they don't clean your room during your stay. If you want them to clean it you have to pay extra. Another is that the mini putt, the lazy river and other amenities that they advertise cost extra. Read less
