We stayed here 22 \u2013 29 December, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>We stayed at Legacy Vacation Club (RWO) over Christmas week. We were supposed to stay with another family; but they backed out at the last minute &#8211; lucky for them. We were warned prior to making the reservation that this unit may not meet our expectations; but we needed a two bedroom, and this is all we were offered through II.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Unit:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nWhen we first saw the unit we were being provided; we requested a new unit. We were denied with the excuse that the resort was full. Given this is Christmas week, which was acceptable. The unit we stayed in was a two bedroom, two floor townhouse. One bedroom was upstairs with the living accommodations; and one was downstairs in the general area. The unit had a small apartment stacked washer and dryer.<br \/>\nProblems with our unit included:<br \/>\n&#8211; Fridge had no capacity to make ice. Neither trays nor ice maker were in the refrigerator. Maintenance did come and install an ice maker, but it wasn&#8217;t installed properly and flooded the unit below.<br \/>\n&#8211; Bathroom sink didn&#8217;t drain. Maintenance personnel unjammed the clog, didn&#8217;t help much &#8211; fixed it ourselves by removing the drain cap and used a hanger.<br \/>\n&#8211; Many kitchen items we have come to expect from II resorts were not included. We had to call housekeeping for trash bags.<br \/>\n&#8211; Loose electrical wiring to an overhead light. The maintenance folks weren&#8217;t worried about it; but I know it would fail my local electrical code.<br \/>\n&#8211; Small washing machine, dryer didn&#8217;t dry; probably the dryer vent on the outside was clogged. Ended up bringing dirty clothes back on return trip, which is something we don&#8217;t normally do.<br \/>\n&#8211; Lamps were missing light bulbs.<br \/>\n&#8211; Kitchen was not stocked well, we are used a certain amount of &#8220;getting started&#8221; supplies; there were none except one sampling of coffee.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Resort:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nCheck in was quick and pleasant. Resort grounds were clean and well maintained. The resort is actually well located; pretty close to everything, but you do need a car. The resort offers no shuttle service to the parks; but they do have an &#8220;arrangement&#8221; with a cab company, maybe discounted rates? There is no mid-week cleaning at this resort, not that we were expecting it.<br \/>\nWhen called for the resort sales pitch; it was a very short presentation and we were not pressured; for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n<p>In short- we would prefer not to stay here again, and <em>I could not recommend it in good conscience<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In one word: Disappointing.
