Frequently Asked Questions
Am I required to attend a timeshare tour or presentation?
When traveling with us, you're vacationing as the guest of a timeshare owner. So while this is a timeshare resort, you're exempt from attending any timeshare presentation. Hotel representatives may ask if you'd like to attend a presentation upon check-in, and possibly offer you some sort of discount to a local attraction. They might present it as a "free breakfast," or tell you that by attending a 30-minute video presentation, they'll send you on a free cruise or offer you a $100 AMEX gift card; you name it. If you're not interested, simply decline the offers and continue to enjoy your vacation.
Please also be aware, we're not responsible for charges that you may incur as a result of no-shows to such presentations when agreed to at your sole discretion.
Are there any additional fees required or assessed at check-in?
Our guests are not required to pay anything additional upon check-in with the exception of a credit card hold of $150 to be held as a security deposit and released upon check out. Parking is free of charge. RV and Camper parking is available on a space available basis.
Do you offer cribs and/or pack and plays?
Yes! Cribs or pack and plays are available free of charge upon request.
Can I check-in early and/or check-out late?
The check-in time is 4 PM. If you're able to arrive sooner, you can leave your luggage with the front desk staff, and set out to enjoy the amenities while you wait for your accommodations to be ready. Once on resort property, the front desk staff will request your contact information and let you know if you can get settled into the room before 4 PM.
Front desk staff at all of our resorts are available 24 hours a day. It is not necessary to call if you’re running late, unless it is going to be beyond the initial check-in day.
When your stay has come to an end, you can check-out any time before 10 AM. If you would like to request an early check-in or late check-out, we recommend calling the resort on the morning of check-in to make your request. These decisions are made solely at the discretion of the resort.
Which unit will I be in?
All of the units are resort-owned and operated, so, much like a hotel, your unit will be assigned at check-in. The photos you see advertised showcase what your unit will look like, including décor, bed layout, bathroom features, and kitchen appliances. You can make special requests with the front desk upon check-in but we can make no guarantees as to the location of the suite. Honestly, each location offers its own unique perks.
Who do I call if I have a maintenance issue during my stay?
Please reach out to the resort directly with any maintenance issues. In the highly unlikely event that an issue has not been resolved by the onsite resort professionals please don't hesitate to contact us directly.
What's provided in the unit?
The kitchen will come fully stocked with everything needed to prepare simple meals within the comfort of your suite. This includes cookware and dishware along with such items as oven mitts, Can opener, coffee filters, (1-2 times use) dishwasher (1-2 times use) laundry detergent, (1-2 times use) paper towels, toilet paper, linens, and towels.
Bathrooms also include travel size shampoo and conditioner and soap.
Can I make a special request(s)?
Yes! We encourage you to relay any special requests you might have to the resort staff member who is assisting you with the check-in process. As an added measure you may also choose to call the resort directly on the morning of check-in to communicate your special requests as they are making room assignments and prioritizing housekeeping.
Can I modify my reservation after booking?
Yes, as long as we are at least 15 days or more from check-in we can add additional nights to your reservation or cancel and rebook a reservation with altered dates etc. as long as space is still available. We may also be able to add an additional reservation to an existing reservation if you wish to lengthen the duration of your stay. Please note that all of our vacation rental resorts have at least a two-night minimum, so adding just one single night is not an option.
What is expected or required of me upon check-out?
We ask that you please do a general tidying-up on your way out of your home away from home. This includes throwing away any and all food items, and loading and starting the dishwasher.
