The Wyndham Palms is still called the "Wyndham Palms, a Tempus Time Share Resort" Wyndham does not own it, Tempus does, we just manage it. It just recently (like within the last 1 week) started "flying the Wyndham flag" and honoring ByRequest. The units are individually owned Timeshare units that they sell as hotel suites when they are not occupied. There is NO lawsuit.
Let me tell you, the normal rates start at over $189 for the 1 bedroom, and you are talking up in the $400/night range for the 2 bedroom villa. (I work in reservations for ALL wyndham hotels and resorts - 3 years!) They are HUGE. I cannot believe people are getting rates of $88/night. I cannot even stay that cheap. What's your secret?
There is a golf course there and the resort is on beautiful grounds. From the staff that works at the Palace, they did say it is a little hard to find and out of the way, but to me it looks very peaceful and if you are getting such a steal, why not??!!??
If you need me to find out anything else about the resort for you, let me know. It has been named "Wyndham" for a long time, but we just started selling it through our office within the last week. I am not an expert yet on it. When the staff comes to my office in Dallas to give their presentation (should be soon), I will post what I find out about it.
The two bedrooms have the washer and dryer so I came home with no dirty laundry and I didn't pack too much because I knew we were going to do a lot of outlet shopping--and we did. I had added a night to our sample package through hotelkingdom, so we ended up having two ressies and having to move. The first room was in building 24 on the second floor and the second building we were in was 18 on the second floor too. Building 24 was near the construction of new buildings, but we didn't hear a thing, it had a view of hole 8. Building 18 was right next to one of the pool. We didn't get to see the main pool, but the one next to us had the zero depth entry. We took my brother and his girlfriend and they camped out on the sleeper couch in the living room because of the big screen tv. The resort was so convenient to disney, just one mile from the mk exit, about 20 minutes from universal. It's off 192 so there were all the restaurants and grocery stores there. I'd avoid the Ponderosa though--blech. If I missed anything, don't hesitate to ask. Oh, the first room was a 2 bedroom standard and the second room we stayed in was a lockoff. The only difference was that the lockoff had one main door, you entered a small foyer-like and then there were two doors, one leads to a 2 bedroom and the other I assume leads to the one bedroom.
