Mike, Westgate Lakes and Star Island Resort and Isle of Bali all have timeshare units and the first two get very high ratings from people who have stayed there. Star Island is very new and the suites are very, very nice. It is right off of rte. 192. Star Island has studio, 1, 2 & 3 bedroom units. The studio units are not bad for 2 people, but there isn't much of a kitchen if you are planning on cooking. We stayed in one a couple of years ago. Hope this helps. JoAnn

Thanks JoAnne,
which of the three would you recommend?I understand they are available as a last minute deal for £175 sterling per week.Is this decent value?Is a car essential?

I hope JoAnn returns to answer your specific questions.
My comment is that it sounds like a very good value based on the general conversion of:

BP175 x $1.50 = US$262.50 divided by 6 nights = US$43.75.

That seems to me to be a very good deal. However, you will likely have to pay a tax on that amount. Still, a nights lodging for under $50 with a small kitchenette appears to be a very good value.

Where in all of the UK can you find a private room with private bath (excluding B&Bs) for 33 pounds?

You can get more descriptions of the places under your consideration at various reservations websites by using an excellent Search Engine:

http://www.google.com

Then type in your search words. For example:

lake buena vista clarion suites

gave me several websites to visit.

Repeat as necessary with different search words.

Mike, here are 2 websites: www.star-island.com and www.westgateresorts.com They should give you more information on both. Couldn't find a direct Isle of Bali website. We never stayed--or even toured Westgate, so don't know what it looks like. Star Island is large and quite new. It is on Rte. 192, which I understand is a mess due to construction. Sorry I can't help you more. Enjoy the US when you come. JoAnn
