West village renovations
We just came back a few days ago Renos are well under way Most of the areas are fenced off so you can't see much. Parking lot will have different set up than before.Shrubs and Palms have all been removed for now. Main building is under construction large pool is empty small hot tub empty kids pool empty Bar shut down. Small pool open and large hot tub still open Water sports open . You can still have a brew with your favorite bartender You just have to find them There all working at different bars on the resort. From what i have heard the new area is going to be amazing. I can't wait for the reopening I just hope it doesn't take as long as RI did!

The old Olympic pool area is completely demo'd -- a sand pit and cordoned off. Stage pool/original putt putt course are both open for business but no services, watersports and beach access are in place as well plus the Crane's Bend 9 hole course. Greens were excellent!. In all the promo materials of the revitalization, we didn't see a comparable pool bar to the original -- and we imagine that the set up will be more like the bar set up at the North Village or River Island. -- they've set up the pro shop in the West Village parking lot as a convenience store/pro shop with ice cream, pizza orders, sundries and drinks. Not bad -- not quite the same. We poked our heads into the registration building -- very luxurious appointments, but it may have lost some of the homelike friendly atmosphere of the original -- went to an owner's presentation and they stressed that the Wilson kids have a slightly different vision for the future than the old man. Direct quote. Still love the place and we're glad we own, but it is a slightly different feeling.Has anyone been recently? How are the changes to the Clubhouse coming on? Is it correct that there is now no bar in the west Village to get a brew? I gather the large pool is also out of commission?

We just stayed in 2611. The unit we were in hasn't been reno'd as of yet. We got the impression that they were focusing in on the one story golf villas first.

We own #4328 for 8 years but have always exchanged out. We want to sell and buy where we vacation which is Mexico. What's going on at Orange Lake? I was told that our unit is in the West Village. What's the prognosis for us as far as getting back 30% of what we paid for it? We paid $12,000 and weren't getting any offers for more than $3,000
