Condo or Resort ???
 
My family and I are planning on taking a vacation to GC in June this year and we are doing some research on whether to stay at a condo or a resort. We have 2 children (13 & 16) and are looking for the best advice from those who have been to GC. All recommendations are welcome.

For those of you who saig &quot;go Condo&quot; do you have any favorites or suggestions. There are many to choose from. Looking for beach front, 2 bedrooms, pool etc.

I have to say we love Treasure Island. Stayed in a 3 bedroom oceanfront twice already. Condos have been recently renovated. Great location, awesome pools. Snorkeling off their beach. www.ticondos.com

Is it the norm on GC for condos to come with a staff? maid, cook, etc?<BR><BR>Just wondering :)

We stayed at Aqua Bay this past December. All condos are two-bedroom, but one can be locked off for a one-br rate.<BR><BR>We loved the AB. We'll be back there for sure. Check it out on www.aquabayclub.com<BR><BR>Good luck! Have a GREAT time. It is a beautiful island.<BR><BR>Lisa<BR>

Andy,<BR>There are so many nice condos, it is hard to choose. If you like the quieter northern end of 7MB, Aqua Bay is a favorite. More centrally located is Plantana, which many people like. To the south end of 7MB, the Grandview is very nice, and walking distance for people who don't want to rent a car, but the beach isn't as nice as the northern end. Most all of the condos are beachfront and 2 bedrooms. The nicest condos on 7MB, IMO, are the Avalon and Coralstone, but they're pricy and the Avalon is 3 bedrooms. Your lower end condos would be like the Seaqull, but it has a great beach area. The way I would choose is pick what's important to you. Pool, close to restaurants, need a car, don't need a car, close to nightlife etc. We all have different tastes, so it's hard to say with out knowing what you like. Where I stay on GC, the Retreat at Rum Point, most people would hate, because it's so far away from everything. Hubby and I love it because we want total seclusion. Wish I could help more!!<BR>Sandy
