Club Land'Or, Nassau

My family is getting ready for their second trip to this resort. We are looking forward to the excellent service and fun activities that we enjoyed almost two years ago. The activities are reasonably priced and we couldn't have found nicer people than at this resort.

WE STAYED AT THE LAND'OR ON OUR HONEYMOON AND I WAS SADLY DISAPPOINTED! THE ROOMS ARE OLD AND MUSTY, AND THE HOTEL WAS NOT VERY CLOSE TO MANY OF THE ATTRACTIONS.

This will be our third year staying at Club Land'Or. Yeah its not the Atlantis, but it is comfortable and fun.We do not own, so I can't comment on the fees. We thought about buying last year until the sales person admitted they have more owners than available weeks. They claim 4000+ owners, do the math 72 units times 52 weeks = 3,744. He also made the statement that the place is so popular you can only trade in once. Well this our third trade in. Overall we found the accommodations better than average and the staff and food well above average.

Very small rooms that are not impeccably clean. The location is wonderful - right across from Atlantis, where you can roam at your heart's content - casino, beach, water park, pools, movie theater, etc.

While the people at the resort are some of the nicest in the world, and the food at the restaurants is very good, there is a lot to beware of at this resort. The rooms are very small, the bedroom has no doors (no privacy) and the furniture is very old. The A/Cs are very old wall units, and the place is very musty smelling.

Maintenance fees ($800+) at this resort are outrageous for what you get (although they will try and tell you that they are the cheapest on PI - sure, compared to Atlantis!), plus there are regular special assessment fees that are generally a tad under $500. They can bill you for these whenever they want. There is also a refurbishing fee of $289 due every five years...only, we never saw any refurbishing! Even if you do not own at this resort, you will be subject to a $19 per person, per night, charge...this is even if you trade.

You can sell this timeshare only if you are prepared to give it away and the buyer is inexperienced at timeshare. We sold ours on eBay for $300 (a good price) and had to pay the resort transfer fee to close the deal. The resort transfer fee is $950...compare to the $125 average resort fee of other places.

Again, nice people, but this is an outrageously expensive place to stay in comparison to what you are getting.

This time share company will scam you out of every dime you have Their packages are so expensive! Maintenance fees go up 8% each year and the average member is currently paying $900.00/yr and 6% of your maintenance fee ($54.00) bohemian tax, plus the Refurbishment fee every five years ($290.00) plus the room taxes if after all that you can afford the airfare just to get down there, oh and did I mention Special Assesment fees? Yeah, that would be a $490.00 dollar fee you pay, well, whenever they feel like billing you. I can't believe they're still in business. This picture, by the way, looks NOTHING like the resort. Don't even think about tying to sell it either. No one wants to buy, trust me. Just go on vacations when you can afford it, timeshares (this one in particular) will do nothing good for you.
