Should I cancel my trip to Villas at tree tops?

I need some really honest help here. I just booked this resort through RCI. We are bringing our 1 year old twins (who will turn 2 when we are there) to Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA and this is the only resort available. RCI has no resorts close to Sesame Place either so it%26#39;s a 2 hour drive. I know the exchange fees are a steal since you can get a full week for what you may pay for one night but I want to be in a clean, safe enviroment especially with my babies. They love to crawl all over and play on the floor so I wanna be sure it%26#39;s clean...

Please please help! I only have until tomorrow to cancel.

Hi there, Our trip is not until Summer time. Sorry about that. Can you please stop back though and let me know how it is? Thanks so much. Best of luck and I hope you have fun!

Well, Did you go? How was it? I am supposed to go this July, I have a 2 bedroom with a loft reserved. Please respond.

We have not gone yet. We actually booked the Villas at Fairway for AUg 31-Sept 7. I hope it%26#39;s ok.

Hopefully we will see some feedback from the post who went already. :o)

Hi there

We just came back. The room (2 bedroom) was kind of old looking but clean. I thought it smelled funny but apparently they had just washed the carpet and it was a little damp still. Once it was completely dry, it smelled fine. There were a few things that were broken (kitchen blinds, knob to tub) but in all fairness they fixed everything the next day and even said they would re-do the rugs. There was snow on the ground and we were able to sled/tube on our own outside the villas. The tubing hill was very crowded and expensive but fun. They have an all you can tube night on Thursday for half price. The pub is a smoking restaurant so don%26#39;t go there if you don%26#39;t smoke or have kids. We didn%26#39;t know this in advance. There are also several indoor pools that we didn%26#39;t know about until we were leaving. The main pool was loud and there was some language that I wish my son had not heard. It was clean. The restaurants were all normally priced--eating out prices but not ';resort'; over the top prices. The wait to eat was long. Our fireplace was gas but if you get one that is wood burning they sell wood in the gift shop. The activity center has many activities for varying ages and split the groups up by age (I think very small kids, 5-9 or 10, teen) The game room is large and low priced (25-50 cents for most games). There is a free shuttle that takes you around the resort if you don%26#39;t want to drive. We did struggle with parking but there was a lot of snow taking up a lot of spaces. Overall, I don%26#39;t think it was a good RCI exchange as far as the room looked. It was compact but did really have everything you would need (kitchen, extra loft with 2 beds besides the 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.) It had kind of a ';cheap'; quality: plastic dishes, cups, small thin towels, one pillow per person. On the other hand, it the activities department was great, they did resolve issues quickly, and the location if you are looking for snow-related fun was excellent. We were unhappy on day 1. It grew on us. I was unhapppy about the pool situation but that was due to other guests that came for the weekend. By the time we left we decided we will consider coming back next winter but we would pay for it rather than exchange. If you are expecting deluxe, this is not it. Think rustic and a outdated. And okay, a little smelly.

I just returned from a week%26#39;s vacation at the Fernwood----CANCEL NOW!! It is filthy, dirty, disgusting, the clientele makes you feel

like you are in the ghetto and to top it off, I got bedbugs! We had to throw out 9 pieces of luggage, receive medical treatment and are on medication. I have a 13 year old and I wouldn%26#39;t let her out of my sight, for fear of her safety.

The rugs are FILTHY, I would only walk around with my sneakers on. It is NOT a resort. It is a VERY rundown motel from the 1970%26#39;s, very poorly maintained. Our stay there was a nightmare. I am waiting to see if they will give me a full refund and replacement of my luggage-- if not, we are retaining a lawyer. Good luck.
