Free – Monarch Grand Vacations Timeshare
www.monarchgrandvactions.com

Point-system timeshare, with 9 home resorts Eight resorts are drive-able from the SoCal area

244 points awarded every two years. All the points will available as of 9/1/14.

With the new DRI conversion of MGV pts to DRI pts this will be 14,640 DRI pts /24 months

This is enough for 2 weeks of vacation and I will pay the closing fees!!

So for free, you'll get points worth 2 weeks of vacations at 9 great resorts in the California area.

The number of points you would use vary per resort, time of the week & time of the year. What’s nice about the point-system is that you don’t have to go for a full week. Sometimes we would go to a resort for a couple of days. Just to give you an idea, here are some examples of the points for a week stay. The resorts allow you to make reservations of 6 days or more at 12 months. Shorter stay reservations can be made at 4 months (I think)

Cabo Azul Resort (Los Cabos, Mexico)
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 133 – 222 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 155 – 288 per week
Bigger units available
Cancun Resort (Las Vegas, NV)
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 133 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 155 per week
Bigger units available
Tahoe Seasons Resort (Tahoe, CA)
Jr. Villa (sleeps 2) 89 - 98 per week
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 111 – 133 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 8) 124 – 155 per week
Cedar Breaks Lodge & Spa (Cedar City, UT)
Jr. Villa (sleeps 2) 89 – 98 per week
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 98 – 111 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 120 - 144 per week
Bigger units available
Desert Isle of Palm Springs (Palm Springs, CA)
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 133 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 155 per week
Palm Canyon Resort (Palm Springs, CA)
Jr. Villa (sleeps 2) 98 – 124 per week
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 111 – 155 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 133 -177 per week
Riviera Beach & Spa (Capistrano Beach, CA)
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 111 – 133 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 144 – 155 per week
Bigger units available
Riviera Oaks Resort & Racquet Club (San Vicente Valley, CA)
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 111 – 133 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 133 - 155
Riviera Shores Resort (near Capistrano Beach, CA)
One bedroom (sleeps 4) 133 per week
Two bedrooms (sleeps 6) 144 per week

The quarterly maintenance payment is $238 ($952 annually). I am currently paid up through the end of 2013. And will pay the MF till Sept 2014. So you will only pay MFs on pts you'll use.

The transfer cost is $100 SELLAR WILL PAY THESE COSTS

MGV has been purchased by DRI (Diamond Resort International) BUT there are no changes in your usage is allowed by HOA rules. Therefore if you get this you will have basically 2 weeks at these resorts every 24 months.

DRI has sent notices to MGV pts owners that there will be a conversion of the MGV pts to new DRI -MGV pts This conversion is a 60 to one conversion so the 244 MGV pts will now be 14,640 new DRI-MGV pts. The point requirement for stays at the MGV resorts also has increased by the 60/I ratio. So a 1 bd week at Riviera Shores that once was 133 pts will now be 7980 DRI points


Please contact me by PM or email and I'll try and get back to you soon.

Still available.

There is talk that DRI will allow the transfer of the owner-ships only at the anniversary date. So if you want this ownership it will begin on Sept 1 2014
