Apparently thievery is a problem here, since I was given a sheet of paper listing the cost of items from the unit if they were found "missing"—TV, microwave, comforters, sheets.

The resort grounds were also run down. There was no landscaping or flowers, and the grass was weeds (except for the golf course). There was a playground, mini golf, and a few pools which the kids always enjoy, and a game room too.

We checked-in late on a Friday night, and by Sunday afternoon decided to leave and checked out first thing Monday morning.

I own two Gold Crown timeshare resorts, which are absolutely beautiful. Going to a resort of international distinction should be close behind, this resort should have no rating whatsoever. I wouldn't stay there again if you gave me a free week.

Don’t expect to get a unit that looks like the picture in the RCI book. The resort has 238 units and only 30 (units 3421-3438 & the 12 units in the 3800’s) are the "new ones" depicted. If you are fortunate to get one of these, you’ll probably be satisfied. If not, you will not be as happy.

On arrival at 4:00pm, our assigned unit was not ready. It STILL wasn’t ready by 6:00pm, so we were given a different unit. This unit had a kind of moldy smell, but being dead tired from the day’s travel, we took it. That night a noticeable "dripping" was coming from the A/C vent. The next morning, we requested and got another unit which was passable. (The 1st night’s unit was taken out of service after we moved.) The 2d unit was fairly clean, but the stairs creaked, the carpet needed cleaning, and there was a "musty" smell (so bring extra air freshener spray). The resort has a "no pets" policy, which was not enforced. At least a dozen dogs were seen outside of units in plain view of resort personnel.

This resort needs A LOT of maintenance. Most units are almost 20 years old and have peeling paint or mildewed siding. The grounds could stand a good overhaul as well. Weeds in all the grassy areas, cracks in most of the paved areas, and rotted wood "borders" along the sides of many walkways, created a "worn out" appearance. On three days during our stay, the TV cable service was out.

Our 2 bedroom unit was fairly large. It had a living/kitchen area on the main floor, with a wood burning fireplace. The screen door to the patio was reported as broken when we checked in, and it was still broken when we checked out. The Master Bedroom downstairs had a queen bed, a large sitting area with TV, a huge walk-in closet and a bath with a whirlpool, single sink, and a 3’x3’ walk-in shower with a plastic curtain. Upstairs, there was a loft with a queen bed, full bath with a single sink and a curtained tub/shower. The resort charges for all calls (including local and 800 calls).

This resort has a top-notch activity program. There are many restaurants on property, a par 71 golf course, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, fitness center, horseback riding, and just about everything else. There are kids’ activities, trips, crafts, live music & magic shows, ice cream socials, billiards, and on and on and on. Give Villas at Fairway a "Gold Crown" for the activities.

But ultimately you have to stay in a unit, and the most of the units are "Unrated" at best. We would not exchange here again.
