Last year we stayed at Sunterra's Greensprings Plantation. We took the sales pitch just to hear what they were about. The salesman asked me where we were staying and we told him Greensprings. He said good, he was glad we weren't staying in Powhattan, that place is a "dump".
Those were his words and not mine. I thought it was an idiotic statement since Sunterra owned them both and his statement reflected on Sunterra's ability to keep their resorts up (in my mind at least).
Most of the posts on these forums seem to be of a different opinion although I have read a few that were less than glowing about Powhattan. However, if the salesman's opinion is that one of the resorts in his portfolio is a dump, then I'm less inclined to stay there.
Of course, this guy told us so many out right lies that it's somewhat hard to seperate fact from fiction. Possibly he said it was a dump for some sort of effect that was lost on us. Lost that is to say other than to make up our minds very quickly not to become a part of Sunterra.
