Bluegreen Vacations Big Bear Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

8/10 Good
"Our suite was just right for my 3 grandchildren and myself. The kitchen was well stocked with basic cookware, table strings, etc. All we had to do is bring our own groceries. We were very comfortable. The only item missing was a chair in the master suite where I can sit, relax and watch TV or read. Didn’t want to lie in bed or be with the kids in the living room. Also, I didn’t read the instructions on room service, which needed to have been requested 24 hours in advance. We needed fresh towels, but I was able to pick some up from the front desk. The location is in “The Village” which is such a charming, lovely shopping center with several restaurants and a movie theater. We absolutely enjoyed our stay."
