“spur of the moment vacation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I would rate it a 4 plus - but the time share sales pricks, took it down to a 3 for me.The place itself was very nice, Yefi - at the front desk was great, upgraded us to a suite over looking the pool,WOW - We spent most of our time at Disney World. Had I known about the pushy time share non-sence, I would have let them keep my $20 deposit (reserve on my breakfast table) and spent that 4 hours of my day doing something fun. Other than them I would return here. The staff was very polite, the pools are nice, We had a nice time. The timeshare people really turned us off, they we're actually getting to be insulting, when I told them there was no way I was sighing anything, Hope this helps someone - skip the timeshare spuul

Room Tip: nice large rooms with a full kitchen over looking the pool

“R and R from the cold north!”

We are still staying at the vacation village and I just had to say what a pleasant experience this has been. The courteous and friendly staff extends themselves to answer our requests from choice of rooms to complimentary internet. More than once staff has asked us if there was anything they could do to make our stay more enjoyable. We are in building 9 which has been upgraded. Units are tastefully decorated in a tropical theme. The A/B units in building 8-9 are freshly painted. They have new appliances, new furniture, adequate cooking supplies, a welcome package with paper towels, etc. to get started. The pools are very clean, warm and beautifully landscaped. Yes one pool area plays music and has activities, but there are at least 5 others that are quiet and lovely. There are gas grills and picnic tables. You can check out utensils for cooking from the pool attendants. Also there are tennis courts and again there is loaner equipment. We are on floor 4 so guests are above us and we do occasionally hear a light sound from a chair being moved up there but nothing else. It certainly is not irritating. All activities here are spread out over the property so lots of walking is the norm. We turned down the timeshare pitch once and were not asked again. We would definitely return to stay here and will recommend the Vacation Village at Parkway to friends.

Room Tip: Just ask for an upgraded room. Also if you want to be in a quiet area be sure to specify.

“Respecting ones privacy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

On registering for a 2 week vacation, I told the Guest Services that I was not interested in any prromotions and did not want to review, make comments on the units or purchase another Timeshare. Within the first week, there were 5 phone calls from guest services asking me to attend a promotional event. Although I again responded that I was not interested and asked that they do not call again, a representative from RCI was positioned in the loby on my unit and she began harassing me again, When I again objected to the invasion of my privacy, she offered me a number to call in order to stop the intrusion. Why should I have to go through this and to lodge a complaint to the same people that I asked not to call us.

We appreciate that you took the time to comment about your stay with us. Please accept our apologies if our marketing team detracted from your vacation experience in any way. We have had thousands of people experience our hospitality and it is definitely not our common practice to make our guests feel as if we are invading their privacy. We understand that attending a presentation may not appeal to you but many do appreciate the information they receive when they attend a presentation. Currently Vacation Village Resorts has over 300,000 owners who choose us as their vacation destination year after year. We regret that you did enjoy your trip with us and we hope your next vacation to Orlando is more enjoyable.

If you are there for 2 weeks you do not deserve clean sheets, garbage bags nothing.... the charge you $50 a week for internet..... but others nothing....it tIok over an hour for 1 girl to check us in .... they kept saying it was computer problems....I am here for 2 weeks l want a vacuum cleaner. sanitizer for the toilet.... am i expected to pay for it???? i want the oven cleaned!!!!!! am i supposed to do that????? they supplied sheets but not big enough for the bed so i had to flip the old one over like we did in boarding school.... .if i have to make the beds they can;t even supply the right size!!!!!! If you are a Vacation Village owner from one of the other resorts.... do not come to parkway ... you are second class..... and watch out for the sales pitches they never stop..... we came for a family vacation and got treated very,,,, very .... poorly..... and we still have another week to go....we would ha ve paid for cleaning service if they had told us about it..... but then it took an hour to check us in.... and we watch 20 maybe 30 people check in while we waited.....no communication at all.....submitting this when i still have 1 week left

Room Tip: do not get anywhere near the unused kiddys pool it is very noisy alll the time

Thank you for your comments and we are sorry it took so long to check you in and that we have not met your expectations. Vacation Village at Parkway Resort is a timeshare property and daily housekeeping services are not included. This is standard in the timeshare industry. Guests staying five or more days receive a midweek service consisting of trash removal, towels exchange and light tidy. Extra cleaning services are available upon request for an additional fee. We advertise the mid week service schedule throughout the resort and have guests sign the registration card indicating this policy. One of the perks of owning timeshare at Vacation Village at Parkway Resort is that owners do receive a discount on the in-room wifi amenity. However all guests may have complimentary use of the internet service in the computer room located at the resort’s Welcome Center. We strive on a daily basis to offer our guests a first class vacation so please let us help you with your concerns. Please contact the staff during your stay if you something is missing from your room or if you need additional service and they will gladly offer assistance.
