6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Our stay was okay. I’ll start with the bad:
They have you check in and give you a parking pass. Then, they have you go to the concierge to “validate” the parking pass they literally just handed you (which makes zero sense).
In reality, this is a scammy ruse for them to say “how did you book this trip? Oh, you booked on (insert website here)? You know you get a free gift with that!” Surprise- the gift isn’t really free, it’s just them trying to sell you a timeshare.
I get that’s probably a common practice at resorts, but the parking validation ruse is just so pitiful. Don’t fall for it.
We arrived a little before our check in time and were not offered to have our bags stored, shown any amenities, shown where to get food, etc. Just the timeshare pitch and that’s it.
The unit we booked had a pull out sofa, but had no bedding to go with it. The place in general is a bit run down.
The good: Our unit was clean and had many convenient items like dishes, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap, laundry soap, and coffee. The pools are fun. The shuttles are convenient and the resort itself is close enough to the parks to drive or uber if you want. There’s also a Starbucks there and a Publix close by (walking distance) for essentials.
Overall, I would not return to Summer Bay. The lack of hospitality coupled with the gimmicky/scammy timeshare pitch upon check in is just not what one wants to experience after a long travel day.
