If you are offered a membership with them for their vacation club dont do it!! it is nothing but a scam. Then to really be stupid they offered a weekend for 99 dollars to any club so bought that. Now they want an additional 59 dollars a night to use it... Hard scam dont buy!!
The resort is nice but the membership is a SCAM!!
Excellent
