Ken K, which is better choice?

Hi Ken K, I have been offered a 1 bedroom unit at Fairways of Palm Aire, at Canada House, and at Dover house. They are all for under $1000 for the week of Dec. 23. Which would you say is the better choice? I%26#39;ve read reviews about Palm Aire being near a seedy neighborhood and not right on the beach.

Ken K, which is better choice?

Are you referring to the Dover House in Delray Beach ( about half an hour north of Ft. Lauderdale) or is theer another one in this area I don%26#39;t know of?

Ken K, which is better choice?

Sorry, it is the Dover House in Delray Beach.

How badly do you like to be at the beach? And who likes to play golf?

If beach and kinda near action, I%26#39;d say Canada House. MOST of Canada House has pretty nice rooms.....it is kind of consistant through out the resort. One part of Canada House is across A1A from the beach. But most is in the sand.

Wyndham/Fairfields Fairways of Palm Aire is several miles off the beach. Its management company is now Wynham/Fairfield. ( Was Vacation Break system before the takeover by Fairfield) They run several condo buildings in the gated community %26amp; CC of Palm Aire. The possible problem here is major. It is the difference in conditions in the buildings. Some poster %26amp; reviewers get a well kept unit in a %26#39;prime%26#39; building, but others get a pretty run down unit in an unkempt building. It was promised by Wyndham that one building closed since Wilma is reopening after repairs %26amp; renovations. I%26#39;m sorry, I don%26#39;t know the great building names or the names of the ones needing better rehab.

BUT....Fairways dose have the golf course...and pools. It is what some call an iffy area ( not in the gated community), but my cousin lived near there and didn%26#39;t seem to have a problem ( Since moved to Parliment House on the beach in Pompano). You will be right next to a Wal Greens and a Supermarket...AND the pompano Harness Track and Casino.....which might be fun...but not like Vegas ( ask Lulu).

Additionally, Wyndhan DID have a shuttle that connected all the Vacation Break T/S units. This might still be running...I think it is. It connects the Faiways units, with the five star Royal Vista ( great) the Sea Gardens and if reopened yet, the Wyndham Santa Barbars ( across from A1A %26amp; ROYAL VISTA...with a yacht cruise.

These units are still in Wyndham sales mode, and I need to say something.....about points. Wyndham resale points sell for below one cent each to below 3 cents each. If you go there, make sure you know this.....the developer priced weeks are much higher.

Dover House is at the beach as well. It is a small converted to condo T/S use...and many on the tug bbs love it. Units here are SMALL, but are well kept. You will not be near much, but I believe you will have a car. I want to post the websites of each place in a post below.

I would like you to google each address and them map it, and pull in close on HYBIRD. I think you will even be able to see the places.

IMO...( I can%26#39;t play golf)...I%26#39;d pick the beach units first. Canada House is a big place with OK rooms, Dover is a nice small place. Not have super bad reviews......but remember, if you are staying in a T/S rented unit, you WILL NOT get services as you are used to in a hotel.

Unfortunately, on resale e bay, I%26#39;ve seen seeks at both the beach front units sell for one dollar a week via PCCs. Even top weeks hardly SELL for more than $500 a week. Why? THe maint fees %26amp; takes %26amp; insurance in Fl is high. ( THats another caution statment for if they try to sell you a T/S.

Hope I helped. Watch for links

Ken
