Bluegreen Vacations South Mountain, an Ascend Collection Resort

Rip Off Time Share!!! They didn't even take us to the resort. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and this is a Hilton Property!!!

Very nice unit and property! Was a huge bummer that the indoor pool was closed and weren't aware until a few days after booking, as it was one of the main reasons for staying. Outdoor pool was heated though and open late!

Room was nice enough and bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately it sounded like the people above us would come crashing through the ceiling at some point…but other than that it was fairly quiet. The neighboring hotel had great dining options and The Woodstock Inn down the road had amazing breakfasts. We were informed before our stay that the indoor pool was out of service and sent apologies. No worries there, but oddly the second day we went to the desk for another pack of coffee (as instructed at check in) and was told they were out…out of coffee in the whole hotel. They were hoping they would get their shipment the next afternoon (after our checkout) !! No apologies and no attempt to deliver coffee even though it is listed as an amenity. The lack of any concern on their part that a hotel of any size would run out of coffee was a bit shocking. Had to go buy our own instant coffee from 7-11.

Great room and an engineering area

Birthday weekend Loved the spacious room! A little dated but very clean. Bed room shower did not have hot water! Thankfully there was a second bathroom! Did not like the fact you had to go to a different desk to get your parking pass only to hassled to talk you into a 2 hour seminar to get you to buy vacation time!! Several no’s and still would not stop oniy wasting our precious time!! Avoided the front desk after that using other doors!! Was not there to be hassled about buying into their properties!! Not sure I would return here again !! Started the stay off aggravated!!

The hotel itself was absolutely lovely—clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful location. My room was spacious and well-maintained, and the amenities were just what I needed for a relaxing stay. However, I have to be honest about one major downside: the staff was extremely pushy about trying to get me to attend a timeshare presentation. It went beyond a simple ask—it was persistent to the point of being uncomfortable. I started avoiding the lobby altogether just to steer clear of the pressure. It really dampened an otherwise great experience. If you’re looking for a nice place to stay and can firmly say “no” multiple times without feeling awkward, you’ll probably enjoy your visit. But if you’d rather relax without the sales pitch stress, you might want to think twice.
