DH and I were at this resort from March 9-17th and were very disappointed. This resort happens to be the noisiest we have ever stayed at. We encountered numerous problems, the major ones being very little soundproofing between units, garbage trucks collecting waste containers at 5 AM, water leaking from the ceiling near light fixtures ( two reports of this from people at the pool), lack of security ( they consider a phone call to the guilty party, the proper way to handle a noise complaint!), murky pool water in all four pools (we were told this happens every weekend due to heavy usage???), hot tubs overflowing with foam, no designated quiet pool , a very small TV in the living room and others bolted high up on the walls in each bedroom( made us feel they were worried about them being stolen!), low end wicker furniture etc. We had paid for a two bedroom deluxe unit and found ourselves on the ground floor with a parking lot view, despite my phone calls and request to the resort. The second bedroom in the unit was very small and barely had room for the 2 twin beds. This room might have been suitable for small children but even teenagers would have been cramped! This 2 bedroom unit would not have been suitable for two couples to share. We later found out if we would have paid less for the regular two bedroom unit, we would have had a better view and been on the second floor. This might have prevented us from having to listen to the young girl in the unit above us running and jumping until 1 am! This resort does not have elevators, and lacks the plan to build a larger pool area, despite the additional units which are being constructed. On initial appearance this resort looks massive, it has sidewalks constructed around the existing water ponds which are maintained in a natural state, but one of the ponds had the remains of a non-functional fountain which appeared to be in a state of disrepair. I found that the resort had cut many corners, eg. by not installing mirrors in any of the pool washrooms or planting annuals in the extensive landscaping around the resort. Many of the shrubs appeared to be dead and the flower beds required weeding and mulch. Most other resorts pride themselves on their landscaping. However,the resort did spray for fire ants when we were there. We have stayed at some lovely resorts such as Vistana Villages, Orange Lake Golf and Country Club, Wyndham Palms Golf and Country Club, Regal Palms, Cypress Pointe, Westgate Lakes, Liki Tiki, and various WDW resorts in the past few years, and have not encountered the extensive problems we did at this resort. If you consider renting at this resort, do not expect the same resort quality. I would rate this resort at the bottom of the list, solely on the lack of soundproofing and the constant construction noise from early in the morning until dark, even without the other faults. We had really been looking forward to visiting BB and I thought I had done my research by reading trip advisor. It turns out the negative reports do not exagerate this resort's flaws and I am confident many similar reports will soon be posted. Many people were complaining during checkout and were filling out the evaluation forms to back up their concerns. It may very well be that there are some lucky renters or owners who aren't experiencing any of the above problems, but the majority of renters we met at the pool did not have positive reviews on the resort! PM me if you want any further info about the specific locations of building or construction.:
