Wyndham is closing a handful of legacy resorts - dedicated chart/tracker located in the first post for this unfolding set of events

[susieq]

Does anyone know what is happening with Newport Overlook and Wyndham Bay Voyage? They seem to be the only two that have not been fully confirmed. Also, can any fixed week owner at a resort that is in the shutdown process share what is being offered?

This is what I am closely watching/reading for also. Our floating week is a deeded July/August week at The Bay Voyage. Haven't received any communication as of yet. Don't know if there will be any other compensation offered besides a share of the profit ~ however small that might be. Even if there are CWA points put on the table, we would definitely not be interested. We've owned for nearly 40 years, had some great stays/exchanges, no regrets.

So in the table, for Club Wyndham Star Island (FL) it indicated CONSOLIDATION for the disposition. The definition of this provided in the post is CONSOLIDATION - Wyndham is downsizing the amount of inventory at the resort - likely via eliminating one of multiple HOAs - but is not exiting the resort in entirety.

So from that definition is sounds like Wyndham is not totally exiting the resort and maybe only liquidating some buildings/units under the Wyndham HOA? (edited or maybe the disposition was incorrect for this?)

I don't know why it's worded like that in our unofficial table, but my understanding is Wyndham is dissolving the Club Wyndham timeshare at Star Island.

Only the Wyndham units will be removed from timeshare operations until they are then re-sold to someone else.

The rest of the resort is not going anywhere. But my understanding is all Wyndham ownership at Star Island is going away. And with it, our ability to book there through Club Wyndham. I guess it remains to be seen if the rest of the resort will be bookable in RCI or Wyndham Rewards.

I understand what Consolidation means, but perhaps not in the context of Star Island. How many HOAs at Star Island are controlled by Wyndham? Just one? Certainly Star Island as a resort is going to carry on. There are nine other HOAs. Does consolidation just mean the Wyndham HOA goes away but the others remain. That would mean Star Island would still not be available to Club Wyndham owners. Star Island had their vote, didn't they? Something like 90+% in favor? Is Star Island still available to reserve through Club Wyndham? I can't log in right now. Given that Wyndham has started removing properties after a successful vote, this should provide the evidence needed to verify what "consolidation" means or even if it is the correct use for disputation regarding Star Island.

Edited to add: They haven't blocked inventory in 2026 at Star Island yet.

If that is the case, then is "consolidation" is the right term? It would be "Wyndham Exit".

I know there are other phases of Star Island that can be booked through Interval International.

To me it would make sense to do that, but i've been yelled at by "lawyers" on here about semantics, so who knows. It's anybody's guess as to what's actually going to happen until 1/1/2026 is my theory.

I'm going to an update on Friday at Ocean Walk and i'm going to fish for information and see what kind of good lies they try to spread.

Patriots Place zoom meeting just concluded with the majority vote for bankruptcy. Wyndham owned 67%.

Thank you for that! Curious why, as an owner, I never got notice of the meeting or asked to vote. I'm fine with the outcome though. What a coincidence that the two Wyndham Resorts I own are both about to enter bankruptcy. I will not be a Wyndham owner in 2026.

It should be updated to WYNDHAM EXIT. I cannot edit the HTML table from my phone, so this update will have to wait until Iater this week when I’m back in front of my laptop. I am away on business this week and am only working from my phone. Wont happen before Friday.

EDIT: Star Island updated to WYNDHAM EXIT.

From the new thread about Harbortown Point it looks like it might eventually be added to the list. Originally two California resorts were mentioned but no more info was forthcoming about them. Possibly because Wyndham is taking an entirely different path with them. It will be interesting to see if we get a similar report on another California resort.

 

[Greg G]

The third one down on the list, Vacation Break, is familiar to me.

About a decade or so ago, at a welcoming meeting at Sea Gardens in Pompano, one of the employees mentioned that she knows that some have been staying here since it was managed by Vacation Break. My impression at the time was that Cendant most likely bought that company and merged it eventually into Wyndham. Perhaps that's how Wyndham got into Star Island.

This post reveals a possible partial explanation although not sure how accurate it is. https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/confused-about-star-island-in-orlando.192803/post-1473228
Opps, I see this was already posted in this thread. Ignore.

Star Island is VERY ecclectic and there are many different building types and sizes. It's a very large resort built over many years by different developers. The last time I stayed there, I stayed in building 19, which was like 12 stories tall, maybe more. We were on the 7th floor. I don't know which buildings Wyndham has units in. Every time we have stayed there it was in non-Wyndham owned units. They were VERY different, but also recently renovated and well kept. Different little nuances like fake flowers, interesting furniture choices and color palates. We liked it for what it was. It's comprable to Cypress Palms but i've heard since you have no idea what kind of unit you might get, it's luck of the draw. I know some of the buildings do not have elevators.

Maybe the Wyndham owned units are in the smaller 2-3 story buildings

Also, I don't know for sure, but at Orlando International, I believe there are only units on the first and second floors. It looks like that's not the case, but I think it is.

Star Island has 3 story buildings (9 of them containing 11 3-bedroom lockout units each I think, although it looks like three of those buildings probably have more than 11 units each in them) and 6 story buildings (6 of them which appear to contain 48 3-bedroom lockout units each at 8 units per floor , although one of those bldgs may look to contain more but not sure), and 1 contains 24 3-bedroom units at 4 units per floor), and I think one 5 story which is building number 21, containing 40 3-bedroom lockout units at 8 units pre floor, all based on google maps 3 D view of the current resort. Yes it is very eclectic in that regard. I like the 3 story buildings, and the fixed week I own is in a 3 story building on the top floor and separated from the other two units on that floor by a hallway/walkway, so very private. Granted those 3 story buildings have no elevators and only stairs, but that is not a problem for me.

Edited 10-3-2025: Corrected the number of units in the 6 story buildings as not all of the have 8 units per floor, some only have 4 units per floor, and corrected the number of units in the 5 story building which has 8 units per floor.
Edited 10-3-2025 later on: Added that some of those 3 story building may contain more than 11 units in them based on the google 3D views now that I look at it.

Should the status of the vote at Star Island also be updated in the table? I understand there was a successful vote last week.

Thanks - I'll update our tracker with this information.

I own there and have not heard anything either

Does anyone know what is happening with Newport Overlook and Wyndham Bay Voyage? They seem to be the only two that have not been fully confirmed. Also, can any fixed week owner at a resort that is in the shutdown process share what is being offered?

I saw a very brief comment from a Bay Voyage owner who said they got their letter yesterday. No details at all (it was just a quick comment on a post that was otherwise about Patriots' Place).

See if you can get any additional info and please post it back here if you can. I'm "light" on info on the two Newport area RI resorts to date.

After I posted my comment I realized saying should be added was premature/speculative based on what we don't yet know. Not a good choice of wording. I wished I could rephrase it however it was past what I thought the time limit is to edit my post. Just now, to my surprise, i was able to edit my post to the more appropriate wording of might eventually be added.

Question: Does the time limit to edit a post not always apply?

From what the person who started that post learned the indication at this time is that this is Wyndham with Harbortown Point. If someone, not me, wanted to dig through that county's records we could take a pretty good guess. However indications and good guesses aren't sufficient to be an actual confirmation.

A point I was trying to subtly hint at is that the path Wyndham might be taking, if it's proven to be Wyndham, isn't going to be the exactly same with every resort.

As far as I know, the time limit to edit a post is 48 hours. This applies to any post.

 

[dioxide45]

I think the difference has to do with control of the association. With the properties being discussed in this thread, Wyndham has enough control of the association to have a successful 50+% vote. They didn't hold that with Harbortown Point. They only own about 14%, don't manage the property and certainly don't control the association. Harbortown Point could easily be discussed here in the context of "Wyndham Exit" as that is how it seems they are moving forward with that property. That being if the owner of those defaulted deeds is indeed Wyndham.

I am sure glad my transfers of Bali Hai are in process. I am imagining how Title is going to handle all of these deeds. Wyndham may have to hire an attorney to accomplish the transfers in a decent timeframe. The incompetence of Wyndham's transfer department is evident in the 4-5 months it takes for the process. Mine have been in process for a few weeks,

I am in the situation where all my existing points with two contracts at Fairfield Bay will not be available after 2025 and I already had reservations in 2025 and 2026 using all of my 2026 points by the time the closing of Fairfield Bay was coming to light. In the HOA meetings I tried to get the Wyndham representatives to answer the question about how and when these reservations would be handled if I was not going to do the CWA swap. They said they could not answer the question because each account will have its own set of circumstances and said there would be a dedicated line set up for people to call for Wyndham to go over your account and outline what would happen. They indicated that the phone line would be set up in Oct and that the impacted owners would be notified by mail about the phone line availability. I luckily had already started the process of buying a new contract before I knew about Wyndham's resort exit. That new contract has more than enough points to cover my two contracts that are going away. The paperwork made it to Wyndham in early Sept, and I knew if I waited around for the normal timeframe for Wyndham processing of resale weeks transfers to happen, it would be close to the end of the year and probably past the time that I would be able to use the new points to cover my existing reservations that would be cancelled at some point in the near future. I emailed T&L CEO Michael Brown michael.brown@travelandleisure.com and an executive case specialist replied and was able to expedite the transfer of my new contract due to the extenuating circumstances. Those points are now in my account less than a month after Wyndham received the paperwork. The question now is how these existing reservations are handled with my new points in place. The executive case specialist was also unsure if I needed to make backup reservations now in anticipation of the existing ones being cancelled, or if they would just deduct the points for the contracts going away from my future years allotment, and as long as that still left enough points in my accounts to cover existing reservations, then those reservations would stay in effect. She told me there was a line already set up to answer questions related to the HOA letters and provided that to me (877-883-3640). I called that number and the opening message says "Deeded Inventory Swap Team" if I understood it correctly. In addition to the normal security questions they ask you on the regular Wyndham line to verify your identity, on this one they make you answer three additional multiple choice questions like names that are associated with you or which street is closest to you. It did not go as easily has it should have getting through those questions, but I was finally able to ask my question about how to handle my existing reservations with my 2026 points, but to no avail, as the guy was not able to answer my question. Doesn't it make sense that as long as I have enough points in my account to cover existing reservations once they remove the points that are going away with the other contracts, that the reservations should stay in place? The reservations are not tied to any specific contract if they are all resale points and are not ARP reservations, correct?
