For us, the location is more important than the amenities or the quality of a resort. We won't stay in a dump, but if it a decent resort in a place we want to visit, that will trump a beautiful resort in the middle of nowhere. Probably because we go on vacation mostly to sightsee, not to relax.

For us it is location but in a nice condo in a resort is even better.Last edited by taffy19; 06-08-2015, 04:11 AM.

Location for us, almost every time! I'll go for the nicest place possible within a location, but I have stayed in some right dumps. As few as possible, but still...

Location is by far the most important. We don't stay in a timeshare just to be there. We pick the locations we want to visit and then look for the nicest accommodations we can find in the area. It could be a hotel or timeshare. We take many non-timeshare vacations. Many times we prefer a hotel.John

What we also like to do is go downstairs and have a sunset drink and dinner in their restaurant and listen to the music and still see the ocean too or walk on the beach path to another restaurant on the beach for a change. Not having to worry about dinner is vacation to us and Hawaii is the perfect place for total relaxation.

BOTH! We like to sight-see, but we also like to relax in the condo and it has to be at the very least decent. For what we own, definitely need a nice condo with a view and so forth- which is what we do have. But when we exchange (which is rare) or rent, we a least like something clean and comfortable.

Location.
For example if I am going to the beach, I want a resort right on the beach if at all possible, and second choice would be one we can walk to the beach. Last choice, no matter how many bells and whistles it has, it one where we have to drive to the beach.
That said, if the resort is in an interesting historic building like a castle or a manor house, that gives it lots of bonus points. I would take Schloss Grubhof, a 14th century castle 45 minutes drive from Salzburg any day over a modern resort right in the city, for example.

Years ago, however, I stayed at a resort in Pompano Beach, FL because of onsite amenities. There weren't many beach lovers in the group (but lots of kids), so I sacrificed and drove about 5 miles to the beach a couple days.Juanita
