The we loooooove Bonnet Creek thread! (pics and reviews)

[newsliner1]

Has anyone stayed in tower 6. We are going in feb and asked for 1st floor close to the shuttle (easier for my mom). Is this a nice tower or would we be better staying closer to the main building?

Tower 6 is mostly presidential units and is brand new. There is a shuttle bus stop right outside.

As for being on the first floor, Bonnet Creek has excellent, fast elevators, so I don't think that matters much.

Here are pictures and videos of my stay in late October in Tower 4. Many pictures of the property, a video from the balcony, and a video "walk through" of a 2 bedroom.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if you can see the fireworks from a tower 6 villa. Also, if so, is it a combined pool and fireworks view?
Thanks!

Just wanted to say I spent the whole weekend going over this thread and I am now way excited about our stay there this July. Thanks so much to all of the contributors.

Thanks!

Some rooms you can and some rooms you cannot. Yes, you can get a room that has a view of both. I think to get a view of the fireworks, you have to be fairly high up. We were up on the presidential floor and there was a view of the fireworks.

Thanks for the pictures Bonoriffic. The resort seems to have so many activities, it will be fun to take a day off from the parks to enjoy some of the ammenities.

I almost hate to mention this here, but we were at Polynesian Isles for a week in December and then moved to BC for a week. BC was wonderful, but we actually enjoyed Polynesian Isles better despite the fact that it is an older, more worn resort. Go figure. To each their own, I guess.

why did you like about poly isles? just curious.

I plan on writing a review when I get around to it but the units were enormous, the resort was laid back, very quiet and relaxing. We are in our mid-60s and I guess we must be slowing down a little!

Thanks for the great pictures and videos....think this is where we will be staying next June!

I saw on the activity schedule that they have Dueling Pianos at the Escudos Bar....is this a place that we can bring kids? Is it outdoors? Sounds like fun!

Hi BC lovers,
We are leaving Thursday for our second stay at BC. Our first night there is always hectic. Does anyone have a good takeout/delivery restaurant the reccommend? We would be looking for pizza/italian/chineese. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, do they come to your room or the front desk?

Thanks

They have a couple of places that deliver that are located right there at the hotel. I'm not sure how it would work to get anything else delivered from off site since you need the room key just to access the enterance area of each building. We had the pizza from there and it was actually pretty good and they delivered it, for a mandatory 18% delivery tip which was fine since I was going to tip anyway. Price was not that bad either. We did not like the cinnamon bread sticks. They also have a limited grocery food type area in the gift shop. I think they at least had the stuff to make spaghetti and there were a few frozen things as well all majorly over priced.

Staying there in march! cant waiiit

Just booked May 10-15th! Had a great time at Bonnet Creek last year in May and can't wait to go back!

Not sure but I think this is the place to ask these questions? I was curious how this works. I have read some of this thread. So sorry if this is redundant. I just would like to know all the facts before we make any decisions. I think we will try to stay there next we go. But I know salesman lie and it is cheaper to buy a resale anyway.

We currently own a time share but it is for use every other year. Does Bonnet Creek offer that? Do you have to use a full week? Or can you split the reservation into smaller blocks... a long weekend here and a long weekend kind of thing? How often do they raise the maintaince fees? I think I read that they are about 740 for a 2 bedroom?

Thank you for any information you can give me.

Hi there! I'm so excited-we just booked a last minute trip to BC for the 1st week in Feb. One thing I was wondering about was trash bags-does BC provide them or should I bring some with me? I've looked through this thread but couldn't find the answer-sorry if it already has been asked. We're used to renting at Windsor Hills so this is all new to me. We usually have to bring toilet paper, paper towels, dish and laundry soap. I'm pretty sure I read that BC provides all of these things but I might as well double check. TIA

From memory, so I might be off a bit, but it seems like they provide 4-5 trash bags with each can, a couple rolls of toilet paper with each bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a small (1 oz?) bottle of dish soap, 4-5 single-use dishwasher powder, and one single use box of dishwashing powder.

Many regular timesharers bring Purex laundry sheets.

I've also found it handy to bring spices, tea bags, and a few other things that are easy to pack, nonperishable, and that you wouldn't use anywhere near a whole container of.

As an aside, I no longer use these. They can stain clothes irretrievably---I ruined two new shirts when on a trip from a business meeting directly to a vacation.

The comments after this review describe the problem. For general park wear, it is probably fine. But, be very very careful with anything nicer.
