Pat, Solara is a great little resort. Very little exchange activity. I'd take it if I were you. The area is quiet. None of that South beach craziness. It's actually located in a residential area of the beach called Surfside.
It's not tired but some rooms have a humidity problem. I think it's mostly the Studio/Junior 1 bedrooms with the issue since there is no balcony. I've stayed in the Junior 1 bedroom and the full 1 bedroom and have seen a friends 2 bedroom oceanfront.
The Junior 1 bedrooms do not have balconies. The full 1 bedrooms do have a balcony and a partial view of the Intracoastal as well as the ocean. It's very breezy in that area so it's nice to enjoy the balcony.
The 2 bedrooms that face the beach are awesome but I doubt you'll see it deposited. I've been trying to get one for a while with no luck. I have just traded with a BG owner to get in there. Much easier.
The resort has a concierge, valet parking, a hot tub, hammocks, BBQ's, volleyball and a beach cabana boy to put up your free beach chairs. Each unit gets two free chairs a day.
You will probably need a car to stay in this area. I think the valet is around $3 a day, maybe $5. I think they had two prices. One for owners and another for exchangers/renters. I always have a car so really can't speak to the public transport issues there but the beach does have some free buses.
There isn't alot of pressure to do the "update" which is nice. If you do it they give you some gift card or something. I didn't want to do it so didn't really pay much attention. I did see several people walking around with the sales people during my stay.
I think you will like it there.
