We are looking at a couple of places in Scottsdale: Orange Tree and Meridan Condo Resorts. Have any of you had any experience with either of these. We are 4 adults and 3 kids.

We stayed at the Orange Tree (timeshare exchange). Compared to the Marriott and Hilton timeshares we’ve stayed in , the OT would be considered “downscale” - comfortable bed, but extremely tired and plain units decor-wise (although fairly large rooms). Nice-ish view from units that overlook the golf course. Annoyingly, we had to park and walk quite a distance to our unit due to the long/skinny layout.

how was the pool area?

Sorry, for some reason we never used the pool.
