WorldMark Schooner Landing

We booked our week stay through Global Discoveries. SL is a new property for Global so we were excited to try it out. We read many reviews that were less than positive. I have to say that we are pleasantly surprised. Yes, the units are a tad outdated but who cares. A little mauve won’t kill anyone. Freshly painted and obviously kept in good shape. We have stayed many places on the coast and so far this will be one of our favorites. The units are well appointed. Someone previously complained about no laundry. There is laundry available and they provide soap and dryer sheets, who does that? We were provided with a Welcome booklet upon check in that contained about everything one would want to know. Definitely an entertaining read! There is even a small section touching on the hide a bed/​inflatable mattress thing. Kudos to Morgan at the front desk that is not only entertaining but gets the whole importance of customer service with a smile. Did I mention that they have jacuzzi tubs and memory foam mattresses?

Great place to stay on the Oregon Coast! Beautiful views and Friendly staff.

The place is clean and on the beach. The internet has always been an issue so if you need fast internet, this is not the place for you. The weekend staff is at best very unfriendly but I have had good results during the week.
I would recommend this resort.

We are a family of four. It was our first time going to schooner landing and it was all new. We got there around 9:30pm at night august 3^rd. We checked into our room it was pretty dated but decent. We only had one room for two people and the other room was supposed to come with a sofa bed. When we tried to set up the sofa bed we found a note saying the sofa bed had been broken that they had a air mattress instead. My family and me were going to stay there for a whole week and I know my kids weren’t gonna sleep comfortably so I went to the office to ask why didn’t they let us know in advance that the sofa bed was broken when we were booking the place? They said on their description that it came with a sofa bed not an air mattress. The lady was super nice and told us to hold on for a night because no managers were in until the next morning. I slept on the sofa bed and in the middle of the night I woke up to the bed going flat. The next morning we went to the office to discuss the issue and the manager Jeff started to scream and accuse us of popping the bed to get another room I was so surprised by his attitude he wouldn’t let us finish and started to accuse us of other things and told us if we didn’t like it to leave and to know that he was the manager. I was so disappointed in the way I was treated by this place and I immediately called my agency told them what had happened and got relocated to an even better resort than that Crappy old place. I also noticed when I was packing up and leaving how he was screaming at some of his employees. I personally felt bad and don’t know how manager with that kind of attitude is running a place like that. I hope my experience prevents anyone from experiencing what I did from that place by the looks of it I’m not the only one who has encountered this kind of attitude from the manager.

A literal victim of the old adage about «time and tide wait for no man,» Schooner Landing has fallen victim to both. As an early time share owner, I recall when it was new, blue and it sparkled. 30 years later, it’s fallen victim to erosion. Walking into the club house you note it’s out of kilter. The floor is not flat and the rooms are not squared. I was told that the gym/​exercise room was removed to save the club house building. A week’s timeshare that once sold for for $ 5,000 to $ 7,500, now goes for a little as a dollar. Yet, it was known early on that the adjacent property to the south that was intended as a housing community, had to stop construction as their roads were cracking and following apart.
Last week we revisited Schooner Landing. The upside is they offered hot cookies at check-​in, and a $ 3 all you can eat pancake feast the next morning. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean and came with two fireplaces and two big TV’s. They used to include two thick terry cloth bath robes, but none were to be found. We liked our room.
The exterior of the building needs care. Streams of rust from nails dribble down the sides of buildings, paint has chipped away from the stairs and light standards. Work was being on the worn handrails.
I wish them well, but feel their future may be difficult.

Old, very dated furniture, no real access to the beach. Facility is stuck in the 80s! Exterior of units is in very poor condition. If mauve is your color this is your place. The units are large and have all the necessary stuff but it is all cheap. The shower is in a large jacuzzi which is very difficult to get in and out off and the shower head is for midgets! The decks and club house are rundown and the play areas are in bad shape. The only good thing about this place is its proximity to RT 101 so you can get away. We traded Hilton grand vacation points for this place — not a fair trade. If you have any other choice do not stay here.

We stayed at Schooners Landing in Newport this weekend and were greatly disappointed. There were only two redeeming qualities there. The beds were amazing! They are memory foam and very comfortable. My husband says he got the best nights sleep he had gotten in a long time. The other is the view. We had ocean front views and they were perfect.
Now, for the failing qualities:
1. We seriously felt like we were in PeeWee’s Fun House! The buildings are moving and sloping. This is causing the rooms to be uneven and tilted. We could see all of the patches in the ceiling covering the cracks. Our friend’s shower (we were in a 2 bedroom condo) actually was slanted and their door didn’t even stay closed! My husband fell down the stairs because they were crooked.
2. Our heat barely worked! We had the heater set to 85 and the highest it ever got was 65! We were bundled in sweats, sweatshirts, and blankets all evening! The fireplace didn’t help at all.
3. Our other friends in a different condo had their water heater break. When they complained to the front desk, they were told «well you could always come and take a shower in our office»! They had to shower in our room and beg to be moved when they couldn’t fix it while we were gone.
4. The rooms had a very musky smell. It was not a pleasant smell.
My husband stayed there two years ago in another unit and loved it. He was excited when we decided to stay there again. Sadly, as my first time, I was not as impressed. We will not be staying there again.
As a WorldMark property, I was very disappointed. My parents are share holders and were shocked and will not be trying this property, either. As my first experience in a WorldMark property, I am not planning on buying shares there anytime soon.

This place goes above and beyond. Rooms are well furnished and stocked with blankets, towels, coffee, dishes and utensils. Anything you need in your room, they have it. You go to the office, they have free hot coffee for you, a game room, a pool, sauna, and hot tub. The view of the ocean is amazing. The in-​room fireplaces are so very toasty and warm. The staff are really friendly and courteous. One day a week they have free cookies, and they make them crunchy just how I like them! I was so bewildered by how satisfied I am with this place, I just had to review it. I’m sitting on a mattress in a room there right now, and it is memory foam! They have a computer in the office with a printer (free prints). It’s just so much more than someone could reasonably ask for. Anyone who complains about this place is just plain snooty!

Love this resort! Nice furnished units with a warm wonderful pool, billard table, deck with BBQ, plus it is on the ocean, and close to Yaquina lighthouse with tidepools. Saw whales from the resort and at several other locations. Many fabulous beaches also close. Staff were friendly

I’ll not be staying here again. Nothing big just a couple of little things. Arrogant/​argumentative staff. Staff member interrupts you before you’ve had a chance to finish a sentence. Same staff member refused to provide replacement batteries for TV remote control. The 200 building is very close to the highway and had a week of sleepless nights. With so many good resorts out there, I’ll give them my business in the future.
