Resort Experience:
Fairfield Meadows II at Branson met our expectations. It wasn't awesome, but it was more than sufficient for what we needed. The staff, for the most part, was friendly. Some of the "guest associates", mostly older men in golf carts, went way out of their way to help us. We loved them!

The one bedroom unit we had was on the second floor, overlooking the parking lot...yipee! The private balcony, however, had a terrific vantage point right onto the main event stage. Every night, some sort of themed party was held. Although we didn't attend any of them, we could easily enjoy the music from our balcony. Once the sliding door to the balcony was closed, however, the unit was quiet! Even with the music going full blast right outside. The insulation was impressive.

The best thing about this resort was the spaciousness of the unit. It had a long entry way, followed by a large kitchen and a huge living room. The bathroom boasted a whirlpool tub and a separate, large shower enclosure.

The beef I had with the unit was the horrendous cigarette stink when we walked into the room. The resort did send up an air purifier, but I think my lungs may have taken an awful hit in the first day. The resort does have a "voluntary non-smoking" policy inside its units, but there were actually ash trays provided!!!!! I think that they really should divide the units into smoking and nonsmoking and stop subjecting non smokers to the putrid stuff. Other than that and the dim lighting, the place was fine.

The kitchen appliances were all very nice, and the in-unit laundry was a great touch. The location was superb, absolutely no complaints. We were there to play golf, and almost every course was within a quick 10-15 min. drive, sometimes even just 5 minutes. The gym was only so-so, but it is better than most timeshare places. The pool was mediocre, but do-able.

Best Things About the Resort:
Clean, well-maintained. Staff was extremely helpful and courteous.

Resort Experience:
The location of the Fairfield at the Meadows was great. It was off the busy strip of Branson, yet it was still convenient to get to all the attractions. There was an activity center that gives guests great discounts on tickets for shows and activities.

This is a gorgeous place. The condo was huge and the view from the 3rd floor was beautiful. The accomodations were perfect. Just like you would hope.

There are activites on the property which were great. I can't say enough good things about this exchange. The people were helpful and friendly. You learn the traffic patterns in Branson after one day, and it's easy to get to all the entertainment and attractions after that.

Best Things Nearby:
All the shows are great, with lots of wonderful entertainment, some famous and some not so famous. Table Rock Lake is just a few miles away and would be a great place for fishing, boating, or just plain visiting.

Best Things About the Resort:
Lots of activities for free or very low price. Gold Crown Resort.

Resort Experience:
The resort is just a few miles out from all the hub-bub of the main activity in the city, so it's easy to come and go. Rooms are plenty big.
