What a dump this one is, in my opinion. Consolidated Resorts is building Tahiti Village, which I hear is spectacular, so I figured a new Orlando resort would rival the Marriotts. Not at all the case. This one is really horrible.
The units are just okay, nothing special, and would suffice if nothing else was available, but the project looks like a living quarters for the military, basically, with every building lined up in a long row and there are streets and streets of them, all painted alike. You would think they would at least angle some of the buildings????
The grounds look bedraggled and stark, with a rare plant. The landscapers were very careless with the fertilizer, allowing it to go on the paved driveways, and even the sides of the buildings look rusty from the fertilizer spreader.
The units are all two-stories inside. The model had four bedrooms, with one on the main level and three more upstairs, with two more bathrooms. The floors were the Pergo bamboo-look. But the quality of the installation was not good. Most of the other floors were vinyl.
The location is awful, too. They are beyond Orange Lake, Summer Bay and Lighthouse Key, all of which are acceptable distances for getting away from Disney for a little R and R, but geez, these units are way out past the area you would consider close to Disney.
The bad thing is there are hundreds and hundreds of the units. I am seeing Consolidated selling these into the 22nd century. Who would be impressed by this dump, after seeing the really great stuff closer to Disney? We didn't take the tour, we followed a golf cart in our rental car and walked into a model, uninvited. I was curious, which is what took us this direction, when we toured Lighthouse Key for the same reason.
I just wanted to report what we thought of the newer timeshare units in Orlando that are trading through Interval. Perhaps this information will help some of you make the decision to avoid Regal Palms. Lighthouse Key was extremely nice.
I wonder what they are charging for a week? I would bet the price is above $20K. You can buy a whole lot of Disney or Hilton points for $20,000.:rofl:
