Hi,
I have been reading every tread on these two properties and have visited both several times. They have equal pros/cons from a day use perspective.
I am trying to figure out what is a better purchase from an exchange perspecive: 5000 pts at Marbrisa or a 2 bedroom Summer week at Grand Pacific Palisades (not hilton affiliated). I called RCI and a summer 2 bedroom has a very high trade value so we would be able to trade it for a summer week at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. However, the points would get us there too. One advantage of the GPP is that we could rent the unit and recoup our maintenance fees if for some reason we are unable to travel. I hear this might happen since we have children ages 5 and 8. Anyway, the costs are comparable so I'm trying to figure out what is the better all around value.
We know we want to use this for Hawaii every 4 yrs and winter skiing. We also like the open season or last minute trips..
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
