Our experience here was great! We did get caught off guard by a member of their team when we were just trying to buy Tickets for the Rudee Rocket boat ride. His name was Marcus.. and he was very kind and offered us free tickets for the boat, $30 dinner credit and a 3day/2night getaway JUST to hear them out for 90 minutes about what they had to offer and take their tour of OceanAire. Sounded good and we weren't in a hurry. He walked us over to the location and we were greeted by ALL the staff that saw us. We were offered drinks and didn't wait long at all to begin. Riana was the one to do our tour and she was very professional and pleasant. She explained everything very thoroughly and it sounded great. It didn't quite work with out budget, since we just finished our 7 days vacation but a manager came out (Charles) and helped us figure out something to help us out, and we now are happy time share owners! Every single person we met there was very well mannered, pleasant, and extremely helpful.
