I am a timeshare owner but not with Sheraton/Marriott and am hoping to get some insight.
I have a reservation at SVV in March using Bonvoy points - when it is likely going to be close to capacity. I have been looking at reviews on TripAdvisor, and i am used to ignoring bad reviews from people who are not used to timeshares/crowds/lack of full service. But lately there have been a lot of really bad reviews based on unit condition that also seem to relate to Bonvoy stays - many making reference to the units in Bella.
My reservation is for a smaller (not premium) 1br with a balcony. I found the Vistana sight below that shows unit layouts - and if it is correct then:
- Bella smaller 1br units do NOT have a balcony
- Key West smaller 1br units do NOT have a balcony
- Amelia smaller 1br units have some units with a balcony and some do NOT
- St Augustine smaller 1br units DO have a balcony
So i am hoping for input on whether or not there are some units well behind on refurbs, and also if my unit type could steer me away from those. I have wanted to visit this place for a while but am wondering if I would be wise to make other plans - since Bonvoy reservation requests would fall after owner reservation requests (as it should be).
Thanks in advance !
