Since Hilton Elara has taken over the running of Westgate's Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas, I'm slightly confused - who exactly owns the resort? I mean I can still exchange through Westgate's resorts but I am paying Hilton Elara?? Moreover, in a take-over situation, shouldn't former Westgate owners have the right to exit their contract when a new company, with it's own timeshare packages, terms of use, pricing, exchange systems, etc., etc. will be running things that could be more favourable than Westgate's system (I'm not familiar with Hilton at all). I have read here, in other threads, about the likelihood of former PH owners absorbed into the takeover, that there exists a real danger of sidelining in favour of the new Hilton Elara owners buying since the take-over.
Surely this is a conflict of interest and makes resell of older packages even more difficult! Please correct me if I am wrong! The Hilton Elara takeover has been very unclearly documented or explained and, as a Westgate owner prior to the takeover and as one who is currently advertising one's timeshare, I can't help but feel seriously disadvantaged. There is no way I'd want a timeshare run by two companies so how could I possibly market a resale under that banner?
Westgate always said that they wouldn't resale timeshare properties because they considered such as action to be a conflict of interest. It certainly seems to be that the current management structure is a conflict of interest to the first Westgate owners. I would hate to think that there would be an 'us and them' culture created by this new arrangement between the Westgate and new Elara owners. Again, correct me if I am wrong, but surely that is going to be inevitable isn't it?
I just feel strongly that we (old Westgate PH owners) should have been allowed to either exit or upgrade! The current situation is confusing and arguably unfair to the first owners!
