it really impressed and amazed me that so many of the owners I meet at the owners pizza party were in their 80’s and above. I saw so many mature woman and men at VBHC and I hope that when I’m that age that I can still vacation and live life to the fullest like all of the amazing folks I got to meet at this timeshare. This place is really special and now I understand why.

I guess it is warmer their than in Canada . LOL

Eighteen (18) weeks in a row sounds liked he will be returning to Canada in the spring of 2020.

I met a Canadian gentleman who was staying there for eighteen weeks in a row

My daughter book three rooms and two on the special floor which includes club regency. I don’t want to know what this cost over the holidays. Kept running into the man who stays a month, goes home, and comes back two more times for a month each.

I just posted a review of my stay at VBHC, in the marketplace. I was surprised that I qualified for the 6 month extension of my TUG membership as no one has reviewed this resort recently.

It's nice that Tug Brian gives us a 6 month TUG membership extension for a review of resorts that have a review award next to them....

rapmarks please publish your review. It’s been a long day.

I agree RapMarks, please publish yours... You have stayed at this resort many times and it was your love of this resort that got me to stay at this resort this year...I really love the location and it helped us when we were searching for condos on this trip. Still looking, but now at least we have thrown out some of the places we thought would be winners for us but were not...

I was feeling sick during my stay at the Hyatt, and finally went to doctor on the 27th and had a bad sinus infection and cough. I was shocked to hear that my daughter ended up in the ER on the 26th with pneumonia. Her lungs and stomach were filled with fluid, causing a lot of pain.

How horrible, hope you both get well soon.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry both you and your daughter got sick... take good care and get well soon.

Thanks for sharing your pix! Love this place, owner gulf side 4th fl. Here's a few from last month Thanksgiving week! Some of those prices seem absolutely crazy.

Last pix is at the Turtle Club

Mike: We are heading back to Bonita Springs in February. I was not able to get over to The Turtle Club while we were at VBHC, do I need reservations?

This sounds liked a bucket list resort, we should visit one day.

Yes I love the location.
Not a popular opinion but turtle club view is same as from Vanderbilt resort, and food is the same as most restaurants.
