I am new to timeshare and own with HGVC. Looking to trade via RCI for Dec 31, 2017 thru Jan 7, 2018; going to Montego Bay, Jamaica. We would like to stay at Half Moon Bay (1st choice) or any non-all inclusive gold crown. Hubby and my anniversary. What are my chances for snagging through RCI ongoing search? Or do anyone else have a better suggestion? Thanks!

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
Your chances are very close to zero. I doubt Half Moon makes more than 2-3 deposits a year and even then they would be during Aug-October hurricane season. I don't think you have any chance there over New Years eve.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have any suggestions for Montego Bay or even a beautiful white beach in florida via RCI? Any suggestions will be helpful. I can also consider April 2018. I have bonus points that I need to use by this time.

The beach in Negril is so much better than the beach in Montego Bay. It's about an one hour ride to Negril from the airport in Montego Bay, but it gives you a chance to see some of the island.

One resort that shows up in RCI Extra Vacations is Country Country in Negril.
