Did not use. I recommend a car for this resort, as
it is quite large. Shuttle is complimentary to resort guests, but
not to timeshare owners or exchangers. It is $6.50 person / round

There are 9 sections on the resort. I've stayed in
the 2 bedroom villas in the Fountains One, Fountains Two and Lakes
section. I toured all the sections and there are 1 bedroom villas
available. Very nice, full kitchen, Jacuzzi tub in many units,
covered balcony porch/patio in most units. Washer/dryer in unit. |

Other Comments:
|
This is a timeshare resort with 9 different
sections. Villa placement often depends on the day of check-in.
Some sections are newer and a little nicer than others. Feel free
to e-mail for specific questions. I highly recommend a rental car,
as it can be quite a hike to reach certain area of the resort. The
shuttle times can be limiting and cost more than a rental
depending on the amount of people in the party. The resort itself
is beautiful, with lakes, waterways, brigges and gazebos
throughout. This is a gated security entrance resort---must have a
pass. |
