Club Land'Or "A Land'Or International Resort"

This resort is right beside Atlantis and we enjoy the quiet of it. It reminds me of an older Myrtle Beach hotel, comfortable but close to all the fun things to do. It's being fixed up and our villa this past time was really an improvement from before.. The restaurant is always a treat and the pool bar has great burgers and fish and chips. The staff doesnt seem to change and are always helpful. Do the Rose Island trip for a fun family day, go to the local zoo and see the forts. We also do the grocery shuttle on Friday. This place gets dissed by wanna be travel snobs, but take that with a grain of salt.

I myself never resided here, but many people who have had complained of, mildew, air conditioner not working up to par, and the need of updating is a big issue. I myself do attend every year at least 3x for dinner. The array of style and service is tops! Vince And Horse are top waiters. They actually up bring their new waiters from the start of cleaning off tables, to pouring water. The time lapse is about... 3 years prior to, serving tables. The food fresh, the drinks are good. The two Maitr'e d's have been there, since day one. You want the best EVER caesar salad see the Maitr'e d there, table-side. I myself know of every day activities, fashion shows, ride to the beach, a super buffet with the one and only.. Action Jackson and big brother. Sadly, the sales department try to make a sale look so super by giving away free dinners etc. but want you to pay $7 - $12k for a timeshare when you can buy em all over as cheap as, $500.00. Maintenance fees are high hre, and continue to go up! To bad they do not provide better upgrading and a honest sales team, this place could be a puff, but again why? ,amy times they are selling air!!

Stayed there 11/28 to 12/5/08 and the same great people are still there. They are having a special at the moment - until the end of the year at least - fees are only $25.00 per person per night. No other extras. Oasis Lounge has Happy Hour 2 for 1 every night 5 to 7. Burgers are still $8.00 at the pool bar and just as good as they have been for years.

Units are looking OK except for the bathrooms which, tho have been "somewhat" remodeled (new doors on the vanity, new sink and countertop) are still a sore spot. Small TV has been added in the bedroom. Maybe it was added a while back and I just haven't been there since. The grounds are beautifully maintained.

I had a great week and pretty much spent the whole week at the resort and only ventured to Atlantis a few times in the evening. There weren't a lot of people there which isn't surprising since tourism is down everywhere. I did notice that tho the employees all kept up a good face, and were very friendly and helpful, there is a tenseness among them - not the usual happy go lucky faces. Again, not surpising considering the economy.

I would go back again if they keep the extra fees down. Its still a great place to just sit back and relax and get away from it all. You can do as much or as little as you want. I was quite content just checking out the yachts in the Atlantis Marina every day - it was packed. I went solo and never felt uncomfortable, unsafe or alone. You make new friends so easily since its a small place and most everything revolves around the pool and pool bar.

Now that I'm older and wiser I have to wonder how we ever got 4 adults in the units - they really are small. Good for 1 or 2, but 3-4 - not good.

There are now (as of Jan. 14, 2008), 3 fees per night. Get this: $25.00/person/ night X 2 people X 7 nights ammenaties fee= $350.00

$18.00/person/ night X 2 people X 7 nights service assessment (personell to villa, housekeeping, room service... = 252.00 $6.50/villa/night "gratuities" (tips for front desk employees) = 45.50

$65.00 "confirmation fee" do you believe this one? covers clerical and postage costs involved on setting up your reservation 65.00

drum roll.... $712.50

on top of this years maintenance fee of 894.79,

and you have a whopping fee of 1607.29!!!!!!!!!!

and don't forget the special assessment paid in October 2007 of 526.00

Even without the s.p., that's HUNDREDS more than our maintenance fee for Harborside

I believe that with the popularity of the Atlantis Resort, many persons are flocking to Club land Or because of the proximity to Atlantis. I agree with Jennie's elaborate review. The parent company located in Richmond, Va will hound you and are very nasty. I own 3 other timeshares and was never treated in that manner. I'm glad I was able to sell 4 years ago before the assessment fees became too ridiculous. I was willing to give it away, but the company demanded $950.00 from me if it exchanged hands. So I was able to sell it for that price. I was happy to get rid of it, considering all the money I lost. I pity the poor souls that ended up with this joke of a resort. I've seen pools in backyards that are bigger than this one. And when a large yacht parks in front of the resort at the marina, there is no view. All you see is a big yacht. The staff are so nice...they have nothing to do with the negative reviews. But unless you are ready to be "nickled and dimed" during your stay, pay the extra money to stay at the Atlantis or Comfort Suites. At least you will have the opportunity to use the facilities.
