Need Help choosing between Resorts

I'm looking at purchasing either 154,000 Wyndham Points at Sea Cliff Resort in Hawaii or 1 bedroom for 4 at Divi Southwinds Beach Resort in Barbados. Would use both to trade most years with occasional use other years. Divi is every year Sept. fixed week the Wyndham Points is every other even year. Both start with usage next year. Wyndham MF is $1000.00 breaking down to $500 per year, Divi is $650.00 per year. Purchase price is about the same for either one. Both trade with RCI. Having trouble deciding which to choose. We can only afford one. Which would you choose and why? We already own 2 float weeks in Reno.

Neither do to the potentially high maintenance fees and proabability for storm related special assesments

My recommendation would be to buy somewhere that you want to go at least 50% of the time, so it you can't get the trade you want, you have a home resort you'd like to visit.

Do you have a lot of experience with trading?

Also - Sept. is off-season and hurricane season.

Not sure about the Barbados property but I KNOW you can do better on the Wyndham points property. Those MF for that amount of points .....no way.

Thank you all for yor help. Lots of Trading thru RCI Weeks for last 15 years. Never with points. Love Barbados, but high airfare prevents using every year. We are headed for Hawaii next year for first time for 3 weeks. There its long, long and expensive flights from SE Florida. Can't afford to go every year, thats why the every other year points was interesting concept.
