Been thru Trendwest/Worldmark financially, good and bad. Like any Worldmark/Wyndham Club in the West. All locations are unique and cater to different Owners/Travelers. Solvang is one location in which has not changed since the 90's and 2K, even in 2022. Though it has gone thru its interior refresh every decade or so to keep up with the current deco design. The amenities hasn't changed much. The photos you see on Yelp! are pretty much all identical and speaks for itself. Each unit is spacious, comfortable and clean. Providing the cleaning crew doesn't spend 3 hours cleaning a unit because the previous Timeshare Owner was careless and treats these units like crap like their own home. Yes, there are some Timeshare owners who don't care and won't clean up after themselves. Is this family friendly? Yes and no. It depends on the season really. Summer, yes, but keep in mind, the pool is not as large and is 3ft to 5ft deep with a slight grade. So really no jumping. Then there is the kiddie pool. This might be cute in the 90's. But they need to make this kiddie pool more inviting. Simply put, think of it as a blow up pool. If there is a bodily accident. The kiddie pool is shut down until its clean and disinfected. And that takes awhile. The "playroom" has a regulation size Pool table, ping pong, and foosball table. A fireplace separates the "playroom" from the lounge room. So kids of all ages can kick back and relax there. There is also a TV. But like any units, the TV has sub-par basic cable. What is interesting, is that there are DVD's that you can watch. At a rent price of $3.00 as of 2022. Yes, you have to rent the titles. Not too mention, the tables I just mention, you also have to put some money down at the Front Desk. There are some locations that are free. But hey, if you can afford a Timeshare, guess they are expecting you can afford a few coins and dollars right to use the guest amenities. But wait, it gets better!! Owners, and this has been the biggest complaint of them all, Timeshare Owners have to pay to login into the Worldmark Internet Network!! $30.00 for 10 days up to 10 devices or Owners can pay for the entire year and still log onto any location. You'd expect to have free WiFi and internet especially when this is a Timeshare. Guests will have to pay for internet as well if the owners are not present as new users. Large Hotels like Worldmarks's Parent Company Wyndham, Great Wolf Lodge, Disney, Starbucks, Costco and even small businesses offer free internet. If maintenance fee isn't bad enough this is the worse deal as a Timeshare Owner to pay for internet. Remind me again what is a Timeshare? Anyhow, what attracts owners and their guests is Solvang itself. The Littlest Danish Town in America. Everything and I mean everything is in walking distance. No matter the weather. Summer Wednesdays have live bands from 5-8pm. You can rent those 4 passenger bikes to peruse around town. Or rent those street legal like Moke electric car if you and your passengers don't have the leg power. Or hop aboatd the trolley and hear what the trolley conducters have to say. If you need groceries, Bulleton is the town as you exit US-101 from either direction before heading to Solvang. If you are an owner, I will let you Google Map the area of stores. But for those Coffee Lovers, there is a Starbucks near Tractor Supply. Just an FYI. There are so many shops, boutiques and eateries here. Locals all have their own personal choices and biases. So if you don't cook at the Timeshare and you are a foodie afficianado. This little town is for you. Including the Breweries and the Wine Tasting Wineries. You get to be biased and see if majority of locals are in agreement with your personal choices. Chumash Casino Resort is not far as well. Its also where most out of town visitors flock after dinner hours. One warning. The Local LEO's all about the area, so carefully drink what you can handle. Locals tell me, LEO's don't put up with out of towners acting like they came from a 18 & over night club. Rarely does one even get a warning. And the rowdy ones are the ages between 35-55. Go figure huh. A must visit is the Ostrich Farm 2 mile west of Solvang as you head towards Bulleton. A must visit tourist attraction for the family. Pre-purchase online. Not far from Solvang is a foothill park south of Solvang named Nojoqui Falls Park. The road is both smooth and bumpy in some areas. So that is the warning I will provide. But the park is great to hold family reunions or even a gathering of friends for a weekend! So aside from Timeshare Owner complaints and pros. Solvang is a great week or weekend get away to chill or visit the many coastal beaches from Santa Barbara to Pismo/Morro Bay. Drive times from Solvang to those coastal areas and beaches are not a long drive. Hour and 15 minutes tops with slught traffic. Enjoy your stay!!
