Ginn Reunion Resort - Carriage Pointe, anyone ever stayed?

[UKDEB]

most of the homes are the same inside (at least they're all high end!) as you had to use THEIR furniture stores / packages, this sort of thing

Most of what you say is spot on, but this is a little off. If you want your home entered into the Reunion Rental Program, the furnishings have to be to an approved standard, but even then you don't have to purchase their packages - you're quite at liberty to source your own.

Reunion is really putting a lot of $$ into marketing their resort, ads all over "Golf" magazine, free concerts with bands like Peter Frampton, the Doobie Bros onsite, etc. The question is, will they be able to "sell" this place for top $$ given a big marketing budget?

We attended the Foreigner/Frampton and Kenny Loggins/Doobie Brothers Homecoming Weekend outdoor concerts - I'm even in the video . Boy, does Bobby Ginn know how to put on a show! (He's a huge fan of live music, apparently). The LPGA contract was a huge coup and they've done a fantastic job so I can't see any reason why it won't be extended beyond the original 4 year deal. Big Break VII - Reunion has raised its profile further still. The Ginn Company certainly shows no sign of any nervousness over this venture and more and more resorts based on a similar blueprint are in development and being announced all the time. That suggests to me that they consider it to be a huge success. Furthermore, we're thinking of booking a stay at the Reunion Grande this August, but Reunion itself isn't marketing it at all at the moment, even though it's already open. That certainly doesn't smack of a Company struggling to make ends meet.

Oooh. I'm so excited! I just found out that we will be staying in a 3 bedroom villa. Anyone have pix of a 3 bedroom villa?

I own a 3bdrm condo there but can't post pics yet. Check the official web site at www.reunionresort.com and look under accomodations for the various types. You can also look on VRBO.com in the Kissemme section where there are some listed for rent by owners.

We just came back from our 10 day stay at Ginn Reunion Resort,
in a 3 bdrm. townhome at Carriage Point, and the place was IMMACULATE!
We took along my MIL and my parents and brother stayed in the unit next door. Everyone kept commenting how nice it was.

It also has a great waterpark and activities for the kids. It was a great time, and I highly recommend it

We are staying there next Feb and renting from a private (British) owner -

Our waterpark passes were not included, but cost $50 for 4 of us for the week - so $10 per person per day doesn't sound right - may be worth re-checking this with the owner ??
