So I wrote up a lengthy review on TUG2, but I just wanted to also post here that it's a real conglomeration of opposites. The resort as a whole is very nice looking, and we've had fun going around it. The overall unit is also reasonably nice, but hampered by a few issues that really kind of take it down. Things that I would have expected a standard housekeeping sweep to find before giving out the unit again.
The dishwasher is just disgusting. It was covered inside with mildew, and my attempt at cleaning it using a detergent pack and running a long, hot and sanitize and heat cycle did nothing. I called maintenance, and they did something while I was gone so it smells a little less and there's less obvious mildew on the door. But it still stinks of mildew if I open the door. I'm kind of afraid to use it, but I also really don't want to do dishes by hand. I guess maybe I'll call them again after work today.
There are no glasses. Just coffee mugs. A first in a timeshare for me.
There are some sort of small ants coming in from the patio, which seems covered in them. They just seem to be around the living room rug, and we've vacuumed them up a couple of times.
The final thing that's a bit weird for me is I think they want us to strip down the bedding on checkout day, and I think set it outside? It flashed on one of the TVs when I was checking in. Usually all I'm asked to do is put all the towels in a bathroom, and run the dishwasher.
As an aside, the front door also didn't latch right when we arrived, but maintenance did fix that. I just wonder how housekeeping would miss the door not latching, or a really bad dishwasher. It kind of feels like they didn't really even do much of a spot check.
