Where would you like to see a new Wyndham resort?

How popular is Deserted Blue proving to be? It is a nice, high-point resort in a "Detroit" part of Las Vegas. Is Wyndham selling Deserted Blue as a destination, or have the points been rolled into CWA, because there is no other way to sell this dog?

Come on, "Detroit" is a little overkill, isn't it? Desert Blue is a gorgeous property in a B-List area right behind the Rio just off the Strip. I see this property as an indication of Wyndham wanting to step up their game as far as resort quality. I agree they may have misjudged location a smidgen, but Detroit it is not.

Wyndham needs places that move the needle and sales offices where there are tourists and people willing to by. Also places where people are interested in freebies.

That is the beauty of CWA. Wyndham can build or acquire a resort anywhere and sell the points as CWA from any existing sales office. The office could be a thousand miles away from the new resort.

Does Wyndham have a sales office at Bonnett Creek? Five new resorts could be sold from just this location (or any other sales location) as CWA, and every new owner could be led to believe they were getting ARP at Bonnett Creek.

Try walking to the Las Vegas Strip (or back) at night. It will change your opinion.

I live in Las Vegas. That area doesn't scare me. It isn't behind Stratosphere or off MLK on the West Side.

I see scarier people walking down Trop in front of BlueGreen than I do here.

PS given the point requirement, I would love to see Blue adopt a 24 hour shuttle service to the airport and the Strip. We'll see as time passes how they make this location work, if they make it work.

It is all about location, location, location. Deserted Blue is unquestionably an upscale resort, but it is on the wrong side of the tracks (I-15). Why did Wyndham choose to build here? The land must have been cheap.

The general consensus is that Wyndham Grand Desert is the better choice when staying in Las Vegas.

It is a sad commentary when an "old" property is preferred to the newest, grandest property.

Yet I assure you that you will see more hookers and hoods walking by Grand Desert than you will by Blue.

Don't get me wrong.....I cocked my head sideways like a confused puppy when I heard they are building an upscale resort at that location, but I do think you are exaggerating the ghetto-ness of that locale.

There is at least one other Las Vegas resident who does not think it is an exaggeration

As for "mass" building on the Western USA (CA, AZ, OR, WA) ... isn't that WHY did they brought Shell? Are those sites TOTALLY build out?

I believe that some wheres in the future ... Shell points will be retrofitted into CWA or Worldmark.
 
The suggestions I like most are the SW FL coast and Niagara Falls area. But no one has mentioned Virginia Beach. This one, for me, would put us a lot closer than W'msburg when we go up to visit family and friends.
 
I'm all for Va Beach. Love that area.

I would also like to see Wyndham in Key West, SW Florida, Quebec City, Nova Scotia and more in New England.

I'm not sure even they know why they bought Shell. I hope they matriculate it into Wyndham World some day, somehow. but for now, Shell is Wyndham's (high MF) stepchild.
 
A beach location north of Myrtle would be great for long weekends. Coconut Malorie rarely has availability so VA. Beach, OC, etc. Outer Banks would be great but doesn't seem likely due to the high maintenance cost and limitations on development (very prone to storm damage).

I thought there was discussion of including some timeshare units in the development in St. Pete/Clearwater beach area.

Boston would be great. Additional units at Wilderness at the Dells would be good too.

By West Maui do mean like around Lahaina?

There is a Worldmark at Kihei.

Yes, I mean West Maui in the Ka'anapali/Lahaina/Kahana/Honokowai/Kapalua area. I know a much worse management company they could take over, if they have the money for it. It would be great for us because the management company now doesn't give a hoot about owners and never explains any huge increases in fees. We have friends who own at our same resort, Hono Koa, and they have seen fees and taxes go from $1,000 to nearly $1,600 in about six years.
 
Outer Banks of North Carolina -- Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, but not Duck and not as far south at Hatteras.

Outer Banks would be great. Also Hilton Head (for less than 1 week stays) and Key West. Someplace near Glacier National Park would be great too.....

I would love a resort in DelMarVa. Even NC is close enough for long weekends
 
I would like to see resorts in Clearwater Beach, Miami Beach, somewhere in the Keys, Longboat key, Naples, Hilton Head.
Saint Matreen, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica.
Europe would be nice Sweeden, London, Spain, Greece, Paris.

This is one topic that Wyndham Management ears should perk up with, all the potential sales means bigger bonus for all. Wyndham is all about the money period, and new resorts bring in tons of money from the new sales.

There is a Wyndham affiliate in Palm Springs, Vista Mirage, but I don't think they are on the points grid. I'm pretty sure there is a Worldmark there, too.

My money is on groundbreaking for a Margaritaville in the Bahamas or elsewhere in the Caribbean in the next 5 years, if MV sales at Rio Mar and St Thomas are successful.

Thanks for narrowing it down. I agree with some of those. Especially Cancun not being an all inclusive.

I don't think Wyndham is interested in RTU and the whole Mexican timeshare sales tactics, though I know that sounds ironic. And they already get dots on the map with El Cid.

I thought the same but then Worldmark opened one up Isla Mujuers. With the peso being low just think of the return on investment. If MV sells anywhere in the caribbean is an option.

I add Aruba.

If ever they pull the trigger on a Wyndham brand timeshare in cancun, my money would be on it being a MV.
