Gooderson Leisure Fairways Self Catering and Timeshare Gold Crown Resort

Family Easter holiday, we booked last minute with Pulani at central reservations, very professional and helpful. We didn’t have a remote for the tv and the maintenance guy came 3 times ( previous occupants took it with them) so the next day brought a new tv with new remotes. The staff were friendly and the fairways chalet was very clean. My husband caught 18 trout, some quite big. Only thing was the noisy neighbors, but otherwise was a great Easter weekend, the putt putt was great fun. My daughter went horse riding for 2 hours and loved it.

If you are planning on losing a loved one or two, unexpectedly, be sure to let them know 30 days before the time so that you can receive a refund. Also make sure to send a follow up email in order to get a reply from their wonderfully friendly and helpful staff who fill their emails with empty platitudes but who claim their hands are tied due to certain bureaucratic excuses. These people really lack humanity.

My husband and I were approached on the street in Phillipsburg to scratch a scratch card to win a prize. We felt pressured to do it but we did. Of course they told us we won because as you know everyone does. At first they said I won $500 dollars. Then it turned into $500 dollars, an iPad or an i-phone and they promised us for a 30 minute timeshare speal we would be given the prize. We got to the resort and they immediately told us it would be 90 minutes. We said whoa whoa - we were told 30 minutes. So the initial guy lied to us. We also found out that we could win a 5 night stay at a jw Marriott. Once we heard that we knew that's what we were going g to receive. Long story short - after almost 2 hours we were finally able to to break free. They told us that we did if fact win the vacation. Here's the real kicker. We could pick from Tampa, Jacksonville or Alaska. Hmmmm - didn't Tampa and Jacksonville just get hit by a hurricane, so we picked Alaska only to find out that you can't go from May thru August because it's the blocked out time period. Unbelievable. I took the time to write this review to save future travelers to St. Marten to not fall for the same scam that we did. It was a total waste of time from such a beautiful island.
