Sounds nice. Did you happen to see the Hot tub?
This is an adults only trip.
I remember there being one, but don't remember anything about it, sorry. I think it would be a lovely adult only trip.

Uh oh - does the pool area seem (3yr and 6yr) kid friendly? Have a reservation at POP, but saw a good rate for the Grand - king bed w/ bunk beds that I think the kids would like, but not really up for much of a formal type experience this time around. I realize it's not POP style, but don't want a Ritz type experience either if that makes sense.
Thanks for any help and I hope you are having a nice time!
I am staying concierge level next Tuesday. I am excited to see it.
Thanks Deej! Nothing like a first-hand report from someone who knows what they're talking about.Toured the property today, and it is gorgeous. To answer some of the questions listed earlier...
The hotel's bus is dedicated to the Grand and does not stop at the timeshare portion.
All of the F&B outlets are open, with the exception of Back Bay, which will be the casual eatery by the pool and on the lake. It is due to open in a couple weeks.
And yes, it was confirmed that guests of both the Grand and timeshares can use the other's facilities.
The rooms are awesome, the concierge lounge is gorgeous, and as best I can tell, this place is an incredible value.
You have to sign the pool towels out to your room. If you fail to return them, you get charged $25 per missing towel, so I don't think that, in itself, would be an issue for Wyndham timeshare owners with Bonnet Creek as their resort bearing a hotel expense in their MFs. If they require hotel guests to check their towels out at the hotel, rather than the timeshare, that should completely eliminate the towel issue.Awesome review!
I do have to admit, I am a bit curious to see how the financial side of the hotel is going to mesh with the Timeshare resort. For example.... The whole timeshare pool towel issue. (a system started because of the costs put on owners due to missing towels.... so with potential hotel guests using those pools now too, it'd be interesting to see how things work out...... not to mention possible crowd increases at the timeshare pools).

I was offered a 3 night stay there at a discount, as I'm a Wyndham timeshare owner. I'm staying there Dec. 1-4.
Question: Is it possible to park for free? It burns me up that they charge a "resort fee" AND a "self parking fee."
Thanks.
