I've noticed lots of reviews about summer bay resort that state they thought they were staying at the resort. Unless you upgrade you will be staying at an affiliated hotel. I booked my reservation from a call center outside fl, 1-800-304-3614 and the agent made it clear that I was not guaranteed a room at the resort and explained the benefits of upgrading at 40 a night. Most of the bad reviews about being misinformed are from agents at other call center. My advice is to not call that number. I upgraded and stayed at a nice hotel across from the resort and got to use the resort amenities. My hotel was very nice and I was very pleased.

Not Very Happy

Just came back from staying 6 nights at the Summer Bay Resort. The property was in good shape, heated pools very nice and the outdoor patio bars excellent. The room was nice BUT the bed was the most uncomfortable bed that we have ever slept on. When I spoke to the management they basically said too bad it is what it is. Did not get one good night sleep during our stay. We will not go back to this resort again

Resort Experience:
How can I describe our home resort—but to say it is our yearly breath of summer air in the middle of winter. We are pleasantly surprised that we can always count on the resort to maintain the grounds, units, and amenities in tip top shape.We can not say enough! We enjoy it so much that we split our three bedroom unit and return, each and every year, to Summer Bay. And the trading value on the other half is superb. We have traded it for summer weeks in Lake Tahoe, Vegas, Virginia Beach, Hilton Head, and Cape Cod, just to name a few places that our unit from Summer Bay has allowed us to vacation. So whether you have young kids(water spray area, mini-golf), teenagers (basketball and tennis courts, jet skis) or grown-ups(hot tubs, Tiki Bar, balconies overlooking the lake)—there is truly something for everyone.

Resort Experience:

The resort was beautiful - having never stayed in a resort before, it was a pleasant change from being in a hotel. Our suite was equipped with everything you would need away from home, and I mean everything. It was a cozy environment that overlooked tennis courts. I remember being fascinated with the plasma television, although it seemed there was a problem with one of the channels that maintenance was never able to solve. (Actually, I think it was outside the expertise of the worker sent to attend to the problem.) But even that couldn't dampen the overall vibe of the place. The door leading to the veranda on the second floor didn't have blinds, but the place lacked peeping toms (as far as I could tell). On the whole, though, good accommodations. I'll be back.

Resort Experience:

We visited this resort last year at about this time and were pleasantly surprised with the site. So, we exchanged our Cozumel Weeks resort week for another this year to confirm our impressions. Well, we were so impressed again that we purchased one of the Vacation Homes Points timeshare for ourselves. We now have two timeshares and love it. Summer Bay is very well maintained and the personnel are friendly, cooperative, and helpful. The grounds are immaculate and the accommodations are excellent. The pools, bar, and activities are enjoyable for the whole family, and we can't wait to go back.
