Hello, my wife and I attended a Hilton vacation club presentation at Elara last weekend. The room we stay in (w/the deal) was a studio that had not been remodeled by Hilton. I was not overly impressed. However, the remodeled rooms that they showed us were really nice. They said that owners get the new rooms. Do you think this is true? Honestly, I would be pissed if I purchased at Elara and received the accommodations in which we stayed. They offered us 8400 platinum points for >50K, which I obviously turned down. I did take them up on the VIP option where I receive 7000 pts for $1700. I plan to use at Kings Land. We are very interested in purchasing HGVC resale points.
We have 3 young children so platinum season is a must. I am thinking at least 8400 platinum pts, possibly more. We vacation often. The Mrs & I go to Vegas at least once/yr; often twice/yr for 4 nights at a time. We usually take a family beach trip for a week in the summer (we've been renting a house in the Destin, FL area, but it's not imperative that it be Destin. We usually go somewhere else for a week as well. We enjoy theme parks like Disneyland, but not every year. We also love Hawaii, but we haven't taken the kids to Hawaii with us yet. We will also travel less frequently out of the country (Mex, Caribbean and even Asia).
I've read to purchase points in LV bc of lower maintenance fees, but I've also read to purchase in Hawaii in you can afford it. I just don't want to be in a situation where I am always unable to book a certain location.
Based on what I have said, can some of you give me recommendations, where you would buy, # of points, and a reputable reseller, etc? Thanks so much!
