I reserved three 2-bedroom villas close to the beginning of the owner
window so these villas will be situated in the best location on the
property. I can request a high or low floor. Though it isn't guaranteed,
my early reservation and status with the resort will result in the best
possible outcome.
Lagunamar is a high end resort with full amenities in the villa and
around the resort. Great restaurants, negative edge swimming pool with
swim up bar, day spa, activities, full concierge to help with day
excursions and dining out, excellent location across the street from an
great mall and aquarium. The beaches are beautiful white sand with warm
sea water - great for swimming and walking the miles-long beach. Buses
can take you to the best supermarket for cooking in your villa. Villas
are beautifully decorated. Can't say enough about this wonderful resort.

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
