My husband and I stayed at Summer Bay for a week on our Honeymoon using our parents RCI timeshare. We were both very impressed by the staff and accommodations. Everyone was always very friendly and the accommodations were great. Some of the resort is still under construction but it will be beautiful when it is complete. Check-in was a breeze, they even had our room ready at 1:00pm so we got to check in early. They will even load your luggage to a golf cart and take you to you room. On Friday's & Sunday's they have a BBQ in the parking lot near the front desk, very yummy and reasonable prices.

We stayed in a one bedroom unit with a full kitchen. The kitchen was equipped with granite counter tops, tile floor, great appliances and a four person dining table. The living room has a pull out couch, 52" flat screen tv, fire place, dvd player, and a stereo with ipod docking station. The patio was nice and also included a separate laundry room with a washer and dryer. Our bedroom had a very comfortable king size bed and another 52" flat screen tv, and a large walk in closet with safe. The bathroom also had tile flooring and granite sink, a very large shower tub (you could probably fit 6 people in it), and a separate toilet room.

We enjoyed the pool and hot tube closest to our unit a couple of times. They provide pool towels, so no need to pack any. It was very relaxing and not crowded. Keep in mind there are also public gas grills on the property if you'd like to grill out.

The shuttle is very convenient we used it everyday. Keep in mind you have to sign-up for some of the shuttle trips. Check the schedule for details. Monday morning we took the shuttle to the grocery store. Tuesday-Friday we took the shuttle to various locations on the strip and fremont st.

We recommend taking the day trip to the grand canyon provided by Adventure Photo Tours. They pick you up at summer bay and bring you back that evening. It's an all day trip but it is worth it, believe me, a once in a life time experience. We also recommend the restaurant Bahama Breeze, which is a short cab ride from the resort. They have a great menu and reasonable prices. Try the Fire-Roasted Jerk Shrimp for an appetizer, it is to die for.

Over all...we had a great trip to vegas and will definitely stay at the Summer Bay Resort again.

We had low expectations of this place (given the previous reviews) so we were really really pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious. The kitchen was complete. The TV was very very big, with cable.

The service was excellent. Peter and Eden from the frontdesk were exceptionally helpful. The concierge printed our boarding passes for free. Coffee and popcorn were also free.

We stayed at Bldg 15 but it was not a problem going to the entrance as they provided a cart service. The shuttle service to the strip, fremont and the Von's grocery also made travel convenient. The bus drivers were very friendly as well.

One minus was that we never got to work the wi-fi on our ipod touch. Their customer service over the phone also told us that only the 2-bedrooms were available when there were actually many 1-bedroom rooms available. The gym was still in construction while we were there.

Summer Bay was one of the highlights of our stay in Las Vegas. We would recommend this to anyone who'd want a balance of the activity in the strip and a relaxing, comfortable room at the end of the day.

Oh, I love this place. It's just east of the "Strip" and they have a shuttle to take you there. The staff is awesome, very accomodating. Check-in was a little hectic, everyone checking in at the same time. The grounds are beautifuly lanscaped and the amenities are great. We stayed in the 1 bedroom and i was VERY impressed with it. This place use to be an apartment complex and was renovated very nicely! The bed was sooo comfy and the tub/shower is gianormous! I loved the walk-in closet and washer/dryer very convienent. I had absolutely no complaints about the place, it was awesome!

I'm really worried that people will continue to get this place confused with the old Summer Bay Resort that was on Winnick Avenue. They have now moved across the street to Koval Lane and the old resort has been removed from the land completely. The NEW resort is wonderful. As one worker said to me, they've gone from the outhouse to the penthouse.

This resort is set up like many timeshare places , with buildings circling a pool and whirlpool. I believe that, when all renos are completed, there will be 4 or 5 pools in total.

We stayed in a completely renovated one-bedroom in Bldg. 16. I don't believe they are all renovated yet so you should request a renovated unit. We did and had no difficulty. There are three levels in each building but there are no elevators - this is impt. to know for people with mobility issues.

Main points:
- The grouds are lovely. Some work is ongoing.
- Our renovated unit was beautiful. As nice as any 5-star hotel room. However, you also have the added convenience of a fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook. We also used the barbecue outside.
- There is a balcony for each unit.
- The air conditioning unit worked beautifully. I was confused about getting it to work my first night there and called for help. A maintenance guy showed up within 5 minutes.
- The staff were all very friendly.
- There are golf-type carts that will drive you around the resort - to and from the main entrance. You can book these to pick you up but we were offered rides all the time when we were walking.
- There is a shuttle to the grocery store (Von's) every morning. You have to book this the day before.
- There are regular shuttles to the outlet center and Fremont Street which you also have to book.
- There are regular shuttles to the street which you do not have to book.
- Free wireless Internet in the rooms.
- Ample parking if you have your own vehicle.

This resort is only a 10 minute walk to the Strip and, yet, feels like a complete getaway from the pace of the Strip when you've had enough. You can hang out by the pool all day and feel like you're in the Carribean somewhere (except there's no ocean of course!).

I would highly recommend this resort to anyone.
