I'm considering purchasing a Sheraton Vistana Village Resale in Orlando. I've been doing research on the resale restrictions with Vistana and I'm hoping I can clarify a few things before going forward with this purchase.
- My primary interest with this purchase is being able to use the StarOptions for other resorts on years we don't want to visit Orlando. I understand that I need to purchase from the "Bella" or "Key West" phases at Vistana Villages for this to be possible, is that correct? Any other considerations to make sure that's possible?
- The owner has banked all 2020 points for 2021 but from what I'm reading, those points expire in a resale. Is that correct?
- As a resale purchaser, will I still have the ability to convert from StarOptions to Marriott Bonvoy points? Or no?
- If anyone owns at this property, is there anything I should know about it? Do the maintenance fees go up like crazy? Anything else I should know?!
