Love how Worldmark keeps opening resorts in city locations where other timeshare systems are not present. I look forward to staying there as well as in Portland when these new locations open. Renderings of the "resort" can be seen in this presentation: https://www.worldmarktheclub.com/board/minutes/reports/Q4_2016_Meeting_Management.pdf - skip to page 18.

Whatever happened to WM Galveston?

The development deal fell thru and the property owner built it out as luxury apartments. Hopefully they will find another project in that area - having something on the coast would be a great step toward getting some critical mass in the TX market

They have now Posted the Online Chart. WM Austin has two Seasons - Red and White.

The Points needed are:
Studio Delux Red 10,000 per week and White 8,000 per week.
Studio Presidential Red 18,000 per week and White 16,000 per week.
1 Bedroom Red 13,000 per week and White 11,000 per week.
2 Bedroom Red 15,000 per week and White 13,000 per week.
2 Bedroom Presidential Red 28,000 and White 26,000 per week.

These are differet from what I listed above because by chance the dates I chose were part Red Week and part White week.

Thanks for the info, @geist1223 ! Ah, those are some pretty steep point values but I do appreciate that all units have a full kitchen. Interesting that the studio sleeps 4. Parking $30 per 24-hour period with in/out.

Best part is that the rooftop pool/hot tub stays open to 11:00.
