We are Marriott Vacation Club owners and this was the first time we exchanged our lockoff for a one bedroom at the Club de Soleil. We had some trepidations based on the reviews, but were pleasantly surprised. Although we also went to phase 1 property to check in, only to find out we needed to go to phase 2, we met an owner, and he said rooms at both properties were just as good, so when we checked in, they put us in a third floor room in Phase 1. Our check in process went smoothly, and they gave us a choice of rooms. Our one bedroom was nicely appointed and very clean. Although the main room is slightly smaller than a Marriott villa, it had all the amenities needed for our family of four. There was a balcony overlooking the pool which was nice. There's not much to the grounds, but there's a quiet pool, fitness room and barbecue. The concierage was helpful and didn't push any of their timeshares on us. It is a couple miles from the strip, and there was a shuttle (which we didn't use), as we simply drove to there and stayed in the free parking lots. I would recommend this as an exchange for those folks who want a quieter trip, with easy access to the strip for gambling, shows and food.

Pros:
- Very clean, quiet & updated
- Good sized bedrooms
- Heated pool & spa
- Cute usable balconies
- Lots of towels, soaps & lotions
- Free shuttles to strip & grocery store
- Nice workout room
Cons:
- Confusing, 1 lobby for 2 locations
- Internet $$$

Robert and Morris were great staff members. Without the shuttle service this would have been a "1". Rotten location, old time share (they want to call if Vacation Ownership now). Avoid this place if you can. Tahiti Village looks great (sister local) but the price they want is extreme as far as I can see. The resturant Tahiti Joe's food is only slightly better than the terrible service. The bar staff was good but that was it. Do not stay here unless you have no other choice.

Looking to avoid the robbery that occurs by hotels on the strip for weekend rates, I found a great deal on Club De Soleil off the strip. It is a time share facility that uses the off season to rent the rooms as a normal hotel. They have three choices of rooms, we took the one with a kitchen and jacuzzi tub. The place was clean, but there is no maid service when used as a hotel. You are welcome to call down for clean or additional towels. Also, there is a shuttle service that runs from the property to the strip area, but I did not use since I rented a car. The facility also has a heated pool and outdoor hot tub for everyone to use. Overall, a wonderful place to avoid the high cost of resort hotels on or close to the strip.
