    Harborside Resort at Atlantis
    Paradise Island, Bahamas
    4.5 out of 5

    Harborside Resort at Atlantis provides a wealth of private amenities and pleasures, just steps from the villas. Many alluring and adventurous options exist in the area, including the world's largest marine habitat, a Mayan Temple waterslide, an electrifying casino, international cuisine, exceptional facilities for sports and shopping, and salon and spa services.

    Just returned from a week at Harborside. The unit was great, clean, everthing one needs, staff great. Felt very safe. Great transportation system (mini busses) around to all Atlantis properties.

    Marriott's Maui Ocean Club
    Lahaina, Hawaii
    4.5 out of 5

    Relax at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club. The original structure of this timeshare resort is a converted hotel that offers one-bedroom, two-bath, and two-bedroom, three-bath accommodations. Kids and kids-at-heart will get a kick out of the resort's 3.5-acre super pool complete with a water slide, waterfalls, and children's area. The poolside bar is a great place to rest and relax while the little ones splash until their heart's content. Maui Ocean Club also offers amenities such as a beauty shop, barbecue area, game room, and restaurants.

    Rented a 2 bedroom ocean front week of May 9th at a very reasonable rate. Could not be more pleased with the rental transaction, resort hospitality, service and cleanliness. Lots of restaurants and shopping in walking distance at Whalers Village.

    The Manhattan Club
    New York City, New York
    4.5 out of 5

    The Manhattan Club's convenient location right in the heart of New York City is only the beginning of what The Manhattan Club can offer you. Just imagine spending a comfortable night in your own luxurious suite and going up to the private Owner's Lounge for a leisurely breakfast. Then, stopping only to ask the concierge to make dinner reservations, you walk out past the doorman and New York City is there at your feet!

    This place has the ideal location for Manhattan, close to lots of entertainment, great restaurants, cultural attractions, and best of all, Central Park. The Manhattan Club has many amenities, and beats any hotel room in terms of space, kitchenette facilities, and areas to relax with no extra charge. We love visiting the city twice a year, and our family will not stay anywhere else now that we have discovered the Club.

    Disney's Beach Club Villas
    Lake Buena Vista, Florida
    5.0 out of 5

    Disney's Beach Club Villas is within walking distance to Epcot and a boat ride away from Disney MGM Studios. Complimentary buses and boats arrive right at the resort to get you to and from the Disney theme parks, water parks, and more. Choose from a garden or pool view, one- or two-bedroom timeshare villa, or studio accommodation. As a guest at Disney's Beach Club Villas, you have access to all the amenities of Disney's Yacht Club and Disney's Beach Club Resorts located right next door.

    I'm a DVC member and this was my first visit to Beach Club Villas. Well I can't say enough about the friendliness and the cleanliness. The 2 bedroom we had showed a little wear but was impeccably clean. The Clam Bake buffet is great at Cape Mays. The pool looked awesome but it was so cold that I didn't get a chance to try it out but I'll return in the summer to check out the pool again. Overall I recommend this place.

    Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club
    Palm Beach, Aruba
    4.5 out of 5

    Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club features one- and two-bedroom oceanfront or oceanview villas, all with a Caribbean flair. Each unit features a private balcony, whirlpool bath, and complete kitchen. Room service is available, and maid service is upon request. On-site, enjoy the BBQ area, children's pool, multiple restaurants, spa, fitness center with 24-hour card access, tennis courts, and a variety of planned activities for children and adults.

    I visit Aruba Ocean Club two or three times a year. It is always a pleasure staying at this 5 star resort. I have been to many other Caribbean islands but none of them come close to Aruba's Ocean Club. There are water sports for adults and children, fishing, parasailing, snorkeling, horseback ridding and one of the biggest casinos on the island is right next door. Across the street, there is a newly built plaza with restaurants, shops and a nice movie theater. The beaches are clean, long and beautiful. There is nothing negative to be said about this resort, only that you can't find anywhere better than this as a package deal.

    Disney's BoardWalk Villas
    Lake Buena Vista, Florida
    5.0 out of 5

    Take a stroll down the 1930's Eastern seaboard-style boardwalk at Disney's BoardWalk Villas and relish in the charm of old Americana. The benefits of staying at this resort are too numerous to count. Take the free buses or boats to Disney World theme parks, water parks and more. Slide down the 200-foot long Keister Coaster water slide, rent a surrey bike for a ride along the boardwalk, spend a day on the lake, go fishing, play basketball or tennis, or simply go shopping.

    Love it is how I describe Boardwalk Villas. Not only is there plenty to do on the Boardwalk but the whole ambiance is great here. They've got free valet parking to start off, the rooms are nicely decorated in turn of the century style, the views thruout the resort are just lovely and the boat goes to Epcot.

    The Westin St. John - Virgin Grand Villas
    St. John (USVI)
    4.5 out of 5

    Two-thirds national park, the tiny island of St. John is home to virgin forests, hiking trails, an underwater snorkeling trail and the magnificent Westin St. John Resort and Villas. Turquoise bays and white sand beaches are a delightful backdrop for snorkeling, kayaking, tennis and swimming in a freshwater pool with its own waterfall. Enjoy aqua aerobics or rent a jeep at the resort to explore the island. As the sun sets, enjoy Caribbean specialties in open-air splendor, or relax with reggae and calypso music in the lounges.

    This island is paradise and this resort is as good as management can make that paradise! It is safe, well-maintained, beautiful, and a haven and privileged respite from an otherwise beleaguered world.

    Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club
    Koloa, Hawaii
    5.0 out of 5

    The Waiohai Beach Club is beautifully landscaped with waterfalls and lagoons, lush tropical plants, and the sandy shores of Poipu Beach just steps away. Spend a lazy day in the sun snorkeling or swimming in the ocean or either of the two outdoor pools. While the beach is perfect for children, the resort also offers a shallow children's pool for a day of splashing and playing. Grab a snack at The MarketPlace, or sit down for a meal at The Kiawe Grill. Also on-site are a fitness center and children's activity center.

    Just returned from another spectacular week at Waiohai. We are long time owners and supplement our week with rentals from Redweek. Our experience was sensational. The staff (many of whom have been there for years) is the most friendly and professional. The maintenance is better than most hotels. The service is always gracious. As the area expands, there are more and more good choices for dining.

    Marriott's OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes
    Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
    5.0 out of 5

    Marriott's OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes, located in the exclusive Grande Dunes master-planned community, promises the finest vacation you and your family will ever experience. Set amid stately southern homes, this extraordinary oceanfront resort will bestow the perfect blend of luxurious accommodations. Enjoy all the activities that water and land have to offer at a beautiful resort which marries the style of a southern mansion and a Mediterranean-style villa. Even if you've been to Myrtle Beach before - you've never been to this Myrtle Beach.

    We bought a timeshare week off of someone and had an amazing two bedroom unit. The price was right and with Marriott you are pretty much guaranteed a first class experience. We really loved this resort because it was not spread out over too many acres and was a smaller, cozier venue. We loved the bar by the pool which served drinks and food, and made it easy to stay by the pool and not have to venture too far. The ocean is pretty rough so, although I like to swim, I didn't go in the water. There are a few restaurants nearby that are great. Nothing is perfect but I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this resort!

    Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort - West Village
    Kissimmee, Florida
    4.5 out of 5

    Orange Lake's West Village is a one-stop-shop for Florida travelers; it has it all. Orange Lake offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas, as well as studios and suites. And the West Village is in the center of it all! River Island, Orange Lake's newest addition, spans 12 acres of tropical scenery, two beach-style wade-in pools, two spas, and a lazy river-style pool where you can just float the day away in an inner tube. There are two walk-up pool bars for drinks and snacks, and water volleyball and basketball pool areas. Be sure to visit Splash Lagoon with its wade-in pool, slides and interactive fountain, or one of the three other pool complexes at Orange Lake. If the beach and water sports are more your style, then you'll love the resort's lake complete with beach, volleyball courts, jet skiing, water skiing, fishing, and more.

    When RCI told me they could give me an exchange into Orange Lake, I was hesitant. We had stayed there before and were not pleased. I was told that Holiday Inns had bought the property and it was better. We loved it. The staff is now competent. The units are clean and refurbished. We were sad that since we did not own at Orange Lake we could only trade in once in three years. So…we used RedWeek.com to buy at Orange Lake. We really love it.

Our typical day starts out on our villa's balcony overlooking the dolphin pool & ocean, while drinking our coffee & reading a good book.

    The Royal Sands
    Cancun, Mexico
    5.0 out of 5

    Whether you are on a family vacation, romantic getaway for two, or an escape with friends, Royal relaxation is what you'll find at The Royal Sands. Each two-bedroom, two-bath villa features a fully equipped kitchen, expansive living and dining areas, private terrace, and king-size bed in the master bedroom. And let's not forget the on-site amenities; a week is simply not enough time to sample them all. There are freshwater pools for adults and children, a full-service spa, fitness center, beach, terrace and villa massage service, tennis courts with floodlighting for evening play, two restaurants and a snack bar, to name just a few.

    A week at the Royal Sands is like a week in paradise. The Royal Resorts look brand new everytime we go. The staff is unusually friendly and out to please. The new beach is gorgeous and huge!!! The Spa is a wonderful place to recharge. As soon as the plane hits the ground, your mind switches to vacation mode. It is my favorite place to really relax and join in on all of the activities. A wonderful week for all ages.

    Costa Linda Beach Resort
    Oranjestad, Aruba
    5.0 out of 5

    Situated in the Dutch Caribbean on the island of Aruba, this resort provides a memorable vacation getaway. Take advantage of the beautiful beach or the resort's pool, while the little ones enjoy the kiddie pool. Other on-site amenities include a Jacuzzi, tennis courts, health-club facilities, a snack bar, restaurants, and a nightclub.

    This resort is great! The beach is spectacular. Although the resort is listed on RedWeek's website as the town of Oranjestad, don't be deceived. The resort is centrally located and very private. Just enough beach action to keep one entertained but not enough to overwhelm (as some of the other resorts further up the coast). The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are spacious and well equipped. I would highly recommend this resort.

    Sheraton Vistana Resort offers 135 acres of lush tropical landscaping, fountains, lakes, and waterfalls. But that's just the beginning. The icing on the cake are the seven outdoor swimming pools, eight outdoor whirlpools, three game rooms, four children's playgrounds, and 13 lighted tennis courts guarantee that family and friends will never be bored.

    This is a fabulous resort! We had a 2 bedroom unit, it was beautifully furnished and maintained. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and the pool was great. The market store on the resort was well stocked and the prices were reasonable. The resort restaurant was good.

    Kaanapali Beach Club
    Lahaina, Hawaii
    4.5 out of 5

    Located on Maui's world famous Ka'anapali Beach, the resort offers sumptuously landscaped grounds. One of the highlights at the resort is a one-acre swimming pool with a two-story water slide. The resort also offers a variety of on-site dining choices. Within minutes of the resort, you will find five championship golf courses, tennis facilities, and international shopping retailers. The resort is located five miles from the old whaling capital of Lahaina.

    Ka'anapali Beach Club is my escape from every day life. I love the location and the relaxing atmosphere. The rooms have a lot of space; not confined like a lot of Marriott accommodations of the same type of unit. The beach is very nice: clean and not busy from foot traffic.

    Disney's Old Key West Resort
    Lake Buena Vista, Florida
    5.0 out of 5

    Visitors take a step back in time to turn-of-the-century Key West at Disney's Old Key West Resort, located in the heart of Walt Disney World. The residential-style timeshare accommodations each afford a view of waterways, woodlands, or fairways. Take advantage of the free bus and boat service from Disney's Old Key West Resort to the Disney theme parks, water parks, and more. If you spend a day hanging out at the resort, there's plenty to keep you occupied. Dive into any of the four heated pools or the kiddie pool, work out at the R.E.S.T Beach Recreation Department, enjoy the simple pleasure of reading a book in Papa's Den, rent a boat and paddle around the lake, or play 18 holes at Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Club.

    The resort was very well kept and all amenities were first class. The resort has a very southern feel and look to it. I stayed in a 1brm that was quite large, clean and just all around great. We used the pool every day and went to Downtown Disney a few times on the boat. All of the parks were a hop skip and jump. The staff at the resort were extremely friendly and courteous so I give this resort two thumbs up. Made my vacation a great one. Thanks Old Key West!
