Re: Global Access thru Orange Lake Resorts (by Diana H.):

I have been an Orange Lake owner for 6 years. Last year, I switched to the point system and purchased another week. This year, I tried to exchange my points for an RCI reservation but they will only take 25,000 points.

Also, you have to request to use your points two weeks in advance.

I feel so bad that I bought the extra week. I bought the spiel hook line and sinker--and feel as if I have been taken. Now, I am stuck with a mortgage, high maintenance costs, and an Orange Lake management that does not seem to care about the present owners--but only care about those suckers whom they can draw into their stories of big promises, and no deliverance.
