I have been a long time DVC owner (love it), had a Marriott Manor Club (sold it before the points change), stayed a few Westgates (all but Park City are not desirable), and stayed at Hilton in Orlando (nice).
I am considering buying one timeshare for my wife and I (to travel without kids) and looked at Hilton, but was not impressed with the variety of locations (we do not want Orlando or LV). However the Hyatt locations looks very desirable and the resale prices seem very reasonable now.
Traditionally, I do not want a set week at a set resort with a set room size forever and mainly want to use 1 bedrooms at lots of locations and probably travel in the Non-school vacations as my kids are soon off to college.
My questions are:
Other than Kal's site (nice but some of the posts are pretty old), where is a good site for details about Hyatt.
Can someone compare the Hyatt system to me in terms of DVC (points) system as Disney is super user friendly and flexible for owners.
Is the window for booking other non-home resorts 6 months?
How is the competition once the trading window opens up?
What is the sweet spot for resales assuming location is not a priority - is it Pinion with low dues
The location is not too important to me as I would want to use it as a points system. If I had to choose one location, it would probably be Key West as that is the easiest location for me to book, if all else fails.
Is all annual dues the same regardless of points
Is it critical to have 2,200 points or can you do fine with less if your priority is 1 bedrooms and can be 3 or 4 night reservations.
Is BUYING worthwhile or just stick with renting via II or VRBO or pay cash
Thanks for your thoughts.
