I liked the end result of my discussion with Vacation International (VI) Resorts, which is the organization responsible for Sea Village units advertised on Booking.com. Final result: unit #2206, 2bd, 2ba, ocean view.

I did not like the false advertising of this booking. Photos and description posted on Booking.com did not match the reality of the unit VI Resorts initially assigned to me. On Booking.com: two photos show a view of the water, one in particular from a top floor unit lanai (patio). The description below the photos stated, "This spacious apt...." Logic dictates the description was referring to *the* photos. Reality: VI Resorts gave me keys to unit #2101. This is a GROUND floor unit, NO ocean view whatsoever. Note: For my safety and security, I would never book a ground-floor unit. Also, I would not pay what I consider a lot of money, for a view of grass. What you should know: 1. VI Resorts or Booking.com has since removed the phrasing "this spacious apt...." 2. The VI Resorts office addressed my concerns to my satisfaction within two hours. I also appreciate the turnaround time of the cleaning staff who got the new unit ready so quickly. I left a good tip. 3. Understanding Sea Village unit numbers: the first digit in the unit is the building number. The second digit is the floor number. The last two digits are the unit number. So, unit 2206 is building 2 on the 2nd floor, unit 06. Unit 2101 is building 2 on the 1st floor, unit 01. 4. VI Resorts is a time-share organization. As it was explained to me by the on-site VI office: - their foray into advertising time-share units on Booking.com is one-month new; - non-time-share people (aka me, and anyone who books through Booking.com) don't know much about how VI Resorts time-sharing works; - VI time-share clients know they cannot choose which unit is assigned to them. It is a 'whatever unit is available' scenario, and; - the VI office is not given much information from Booking.com. Only one's last name. They suggest calling ahead to inquire on one's future assigned unit, or state one's preferred unit.
