Hi, I would like to ask some help. We will have our first trip to Texas this late June/July 4th weekend. We are a family of 4 (2 kids, 9yo and 4yo). We plan to stay in San Antonio for a week (after my son's taekwondo competition in Dallas). We live in SoCAL area.
I already have a confirmed reservation for Eckhert Place, through Platinum Interchange, 2 bedrooms. I'm pretty happy about it, but I thought I just try my luck and also had an ongoing search in RCI for San Antonio timeshares.
Well, what do you know, my search has a match today, at Wyndham Riverside Suites!
So, here's the comparison that I'm dealing with:
Eckhert Place - exchange fee already paid ($129 with platinum interchange), and nonrefundable. More spacious 2 bedroom unit (and I heard the units are BIG and clean!), but not in a central location (although we will have a car throughout the week). Also, I used my deposit week in P.I., which I got from their 3-in-1 special. Reservation is from 6/30, checkout 7/7 -- exactly the dates I need, I'll be able to use all 7 nights.
Wyndham Riverside Suites -- RCI exchange fee $189, parking fee 12/day (so total of 72 for 6 days), trading power of 19 (I do have a deposit with TPU 19). And the dates are 6/29 to 7/6, I'll be able to use only 6 nights, won't be able to use the first night. So it's additional cost of about $390 (which is 189 + 72 + 129 nonrefundable P.I. exchange fee). Also, smaller (and older) 1BR unit. But the plus side, is it's right on the Riverwalk!
Can I ask for all your advise and opinion, what should I choose? Please consider I have kids 9yo and 4yo.
Thank you in advance!!
