rjm1cc, I would rather not name the other developments, only because what is not right for us might be exactly right for someone else. We went with an open mind, and I would suggest everyone do the same.
ugotme, we found the best information by just asking people. In pools, in clubhouses, in restaurants, all over the place. We would ask what do you like about living here? how did you make your decision? What would you do differently? Any downsides or regrets? Outside the villages we asked if they considered living there, and most had never even visited but said things like "it is too stepford wife-like" or "we heard you can't get a tee time".

Believe me, people are more than willing to talk about themselves and give their opinions when asked and it was very useful info.
