Hello all!
My hubby wrote that last update and I have some time to write so I figure I'd elaborate on what happened...
The clubhouse and market weren't open when we were there, they were set to open this week I believe.
When we arrived we got nowhere for the longest time with the front desk staff, they basically told us we were SOL (sh*t outta luck) and actually told us to call the 'third party that booked the new owner promotional reservation' and take it up with them, after being on hold for 25 minutes someone finally got on the line and basically told my husband that we were told by the rep that had called us the week before told us our reservation was going to be cancelled. When my husband said that was in NO way discussed the man basically called him a liar. Nothing would have even come from that call in the first place and it was pointless and a big waste if time, the front desk should have never told us to call. Then they continued to pretty much ignore our concern that we were 'stuck' and told sorry but you made the promo visit thru a third party. We finally (yes, we waited WAY too long) asked for the manager but they said only the assistant manager was there so he came out and took care of us within 20 minutes. His name was Lennis and he and my husband said he was VERY nice (I stayed in the lobby with my sister-in-law while they went into an office).
We had 'booked' a one bedroom deluxe but were told they only had one bedrooms available. Was nice but too tight for the three of us. You can't even open the fridge door the while way because the dining chairs are so close to it. And my sis in law having to walk they our bedroom to use the bathroom/shower/sink was a little bit of a pain. So we upgraded on Sunday to a 2 bedroom (had to pay $200 more, so week cost us about $600 to stay total which was supposedly just for sun-thurs, not sure if that's even a deal but at that and this point, I really don't care).
The pools (4 open) all looked great, we only went in the one outside our unit. Our 2br unit was excellent, no complaints at all, loved it. All in all, the only scary and stressful part was from when we landed at 9:30am til about 1:30pm when we finally knew we were able to stay there.
We have no idea what all the changes will be and will try to 'process' it all sometime in the future and with info from this board I'm sure!
Phew! Sorry for the novel! Holy crap! Time for bed!
