A funny story.

Ron Jons decided to do the Timeshare thing in Orlando. I happen to have done business (legitimate) with Ron Demina and figured if he was involved it would be a nice property.

The property was awesome. I was new to the timeshare thing. We did the tour for some free theme park tickets and hotel stay. When it came down to the final word on a purchase I was unsure. We were in the market but not sure about the property. They offered a week for purchase to be used within a year for $1200. This was resonalble because it was a 2 bedroom/bath unit sleeps 8 comfortably.

We had a hell of time obtaining reservations for the unit 8 months later. It took my wife 7 seperate phone calls that resulted in 5-10 transfers with hang ups and no one knowing what they were doing. After getting the reservation it was lost then we were told that week was no longer available. It was a nightmare getting reservations.

We were obligated to do another tour when we finally got our week. We took my Bro and sis-in-law with their kids and had a ball.

When it got down to talking turkey again we explained our nightmare getting a week. A manager was brought in to hear our story. They politely asked for names of people that we delt with. My wife had written them down. They were embarressed and understood why we would not buy.

6 Months later we purchased in Atlantis and it has been night and day compared to Club Interval timeshare properties. Avaiod Interval International they are bad news. The Starwood network treats you like you command respect. The reservation process takes all of about 5 minutes.
