We stayed last week of July and found the resort clean, friendly and very quiet. Our unit faced the pool and beach and was convient to shopping and attractions. Unit was very comfortable and well equipped. Good value for the money. Weather was perfect!
 
Where did you find that review? On TUG? The last one I saw was from 2004.
I'm puzzled.
 
We just came back from Indian Shores and want to add to try a Segway tour (Remi's) and he'll take you through Fort DeSoto state park. It was fabulous!

Yes, the pink palace is a palace indeed. Hard to believe it was once a VA Hospital!

Only for 2 years. It was built as a luxury hotel and taken over by the VA during WWII. Was then used as VA offices until repurchased and turned back into a luxury hotel... as desigend.

Hey everyone. I like the location of this resort, but the reviews are ancient!
Can anyone tell me if it would be ok? Comfortable?
We don't need anything fancy, but we'd like to have comfortable beds and a kitchen and bath that's in good repair.
Input, please!!

I live in the area and about a year ago I posted a drive by review of all our beach timeshares. I will repost here for everyone. But looking at their web site and my notes I recall this one being fairly clean and not run down but not what I would call high end.

It's in a great area at the North end of Treasure Island.

Better late than never/laurac260

laurac260, sorry for the delay on update on Thansgiving week and dinner on treasure island. As before mentioned we just purchased week at voyager beach club. My wife was very skeptical about going at this time of year but as things turned out it could have not gone better. We arrived early due to flight schedule but I had gone on line and found they were having a barbecue cook-off out side of tampa. It was huge and we had a great time. Drove over to voyager later that day and we were both satisfied on smaller units. Well to make a long story short we met some co-voyager owners at the pool/bbq. area and asked them on thier opinions on where to eat on thanksgiving and they insisted that we stay and eat with them at the resort, so they cooked a turkey on the grill and had some wonderful sides. We grilled out almost all week with them. My wife had such a relaxing time that I will have no problem getting her to return. We have been all over the U.S.A and part of the world and sometimes it surprises you how much you can enjoy yourself just relaxing at a smaller resort. We had beautiful sunsets every night and nice walks on the beach. So thank everyone for their input on places to eat but we met some very nice people with kind intentions and hospitality and had a wonderful dinner with them.
