I didn't see a place in the forum (that I can find) that has easy reference to which Marriott resorts have 3 bedroom units and which don't. And which Marriott properties offer an all-inclusive package for food and drink and which do not.

Though many of you old timers and experts in the TS world likely have all this information memorized by now, us newbies don't. I feel this could be a good research tool for those new looking to make a buying or renting decision.

Here is the list that I have compiled and I will edit it as I get more information posted to the thread. So thanks for helping out everyone!!

To my knowledge there are no all-inclusive options at any MVCI property. There are only Marriott hotel options and only in Mexico, Caribbean, and Costa Rica.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

AI fees are usually so expensive that it might be better to just pay for what you want anyway. I'm not sure you are really missing much.

Also, most MVCI resorts don't have a restaurant that would ever be worth paying AI fees for. Moderate quality bar and grill food, pizza, and sandwiches at best. The prices are usually much better than what a full service resort would charge. The owners of the property (us), would not care for getting gouged.

The info is in the Marriott TS FAQ thread at the top of the Marriott board here on TUG

The more important info is not only what their max size is but the min size. Like Newport coast is all 2 bd units, one of the "palms" in Orlando is all 3 bd. It is important becaused you can make a trade request with a 1 bd for a 2 bd if the resort only has 2 bd units.

Agree. I don't know of any Marriott all-inclusive options at MVCI properties. I've owned Marriott for over 12 years & stayed at many MVCI locations.

Wondering where OP got the idea that some properties offer all-inclusive.?

I have seen talk of AI next to the word Marriott through out my searching. Perhaps it wasn't clear and was talking about a hotel instead of the MVC program.

I am new and just looking for all the options and to help others find the same info I was looking for. That's all.

Bill,

Thanks for that.
I see the link for lock-offs and 2 beds but don't see a list or link for 3 beds. I personally am only interested in 3 bed locations. Is there a list compiled somewhere?

Thanks!!!

Clarification: Even if a resort is all-inclusive, that's not included in your timeshare stay - you pay additional for it, and it's expensive. With ALL timeshare systems, it's rare to find all-inclusives in the US.

All-inclusive fees are really high - $100 per day, per person, is not unusual at some of the top Mexico resorts.

Generally, the people who feel that AI is a good value tend to be people who drink top shelf liquor, and therefore can justify the high all-inclusive fee.

In general, AI fees are far more than most people would pay for drinks and dining, if they were just paying normally.

So let's say you are a family of 4 - and let's say the kids rate is $50 per day. Would you be OK with $300 x 7 = $2,100 per week for all-inclusive? The other down-side, as stated above, is that you will feel like you have to eat all your meals at the resort, which really limits your dining options.

I can see it in a foreign country where you might be less comfortable with finding restaurants, but in the US, you can do better on your own.

I have little experience with TSs and AI but loved it when we did it. The only requirement was a 3 day stretch of buying the AI. Then you can pick and choose your days and not do the whole week. Plan your trip/week and explore as you please. The best of both worlds. But maybe that was just in Mexico. :(

Thus my interest in which locations have 3 bedroom units (that aren't ALL 3 bedroom units) so that I may pick up a good trader for my portfolio. :)

The following resort in Kauai has 3 bedrooms:

I think what you may be looking for is in the FAQ. If you are looking to trade in to only 3BR units. See Post #12.

Marriotts with Non-Lockoff 2BR Units

Only one MVCI property has only 3BR units. That is Imperial Palms.

As for properties with maximum 3BR units, I think your list is pretty good. Just need to fill in the few blanks from the DC Points Chart.

Thanks dioxide45!

I am looking at which unit would potentially give me the best trading situation. I wanted to buy at Villa del Palmar Cancun but the all inclusive has gone up from $80/day/pp to $105 in just the last 5 months. Soooooooo I am thinking it would be better to stick with a Marriott and then if/when we wanted to go to Mexico, just trade into it.

Buying a lockoff give us options of getting a studio/1 bed if we go alone, or potentially get a 2/3bedroom if we take others with us.

I like options.

Another issue is that there are no Marriott resorts that could handle AI. With only one or two small restaurants, they would be overrun with AI. This is a big concern at Royal Sands and Royal Haciendas. They have mandatory AI for all II exchangers. The problem is that they didn't build the resorts out to handle AI. Having AI means everyone there wants to eat at the restaurants to get their moneys worth. The infrastructure can't handle it. I know of no Marriott resort that could handle the influx that AI would cause.

Personally, we avoid AI. I don't know how mandatory AI effects trade power, but there are always a glut of AI properties sitting on II instant exchange. I personally wouldn't buy one unless it was for personal use and AI was optional for owners.
