We have been owners at Ocean Landings for 10 years now. We have three weeks in back-to-back oceanfront units and one off-ocean. We purchased three additional units for our adult children and another for my sister. All our timeshares at OLR are 1br, 2ba, purchased from Resort Resources. We usually have good weather in the slow season of November, but this year we internally traded week 46 for this week (43) and we are having lots of wind and rain. We will be here through week 45. The resort is constantly being updated. A few years ago, all the units were refurbished. All the oceanfront balcony railings were replaced, the sliding doors were updated and currently the stair railings are being replaced on one end of the Carribbean building. I was glad to see that the outdoor bathroom near the jacuzzi was redone since my last visit. Our maintenance fees have increased, but not to a significant degree (currently @ $400). During the last hurricane, most of the carpeting in the oceanfront units needed to be replaced and many of the light fixtures on the property were destroyed. The owners had a special assessment of only $10. due to the well-run HOA. The general manager has an open door policy and works hard to please our members. I am using WIFI with no problems. Just to compare, we took a tour at Ron Jon Caribe in Port Canaveral today. The resort is very large and the ammenities are amazing, but a 2br goes for $24,000+ and the mf's are twice as much. The oceanfront units are quite a distance from the ocean, not like Ocean Landings, built prior to current code regulations. We were dismissed at 50 minutes into the 90 minute presentation. We explained we usually purchase timeshares on eBay and were TUG saavy. At this point, resales no longer tempt us--we have more weeks than we need and we own where we want to go, to avoid trading disappointments!
