It was so awful - I took my peers at the time to OKW ( then DVC - Conch Flats ) - and one ended up buying in - ( after they compared to the Marriott deal ) - I rarely go that direction when down there ( there used to be an outlet store further down - and it was also on the way to the Caribbe Royale ( big pink hotel) - a hotel my oldest used to stay at every year when playing VB at WWoS in the AAU championships... I really have not gone into any other vacation resorts ( although I get mailings almost every week for one somewhere from California to Florida to Michigan.....) - so I really can't compare
