Doing a search function, I see several threads on proposed new resorts.

However, my question is slightly different - I want to know which resorts (on a confirmed basis) will open in the next year or two - where and when?

PS-What new resorts opened this year, or last year?
 
I think I have most of them….

Recently opened:

St. Kitts Beach Club (2007)
Frenchman’s Cove, St. Thomas (early 2007)
Grand Chateau, Las Vegas (late 2005)
Maui Ocean Club Lahaina tower (2007)
SurfWatch, Hilton Head (early 2006)

Confirmed:

Ocean Pointe II (site confirmed, but no date announced)
Crystal Shores at Marco Island (scheduled to open next year)
Cancun (site confirmed, but no date announced)
Grande Lakes (the Grande Vista sequel; I’m not sure if it has been announced, but it’s definite)
 
Hey Dave,

We just came back from Ocean Pointe and attended a sales presentation....there was no mention of an Ocean Pointe 2. They did say there was a Marriott hotel that would be opening North of the Ocean Pointe location on Singer Island.

Will Ocean Pointe 2 be an extension of the current property?

Thanks!
 
ramsfan - the two are the same resort. It doesn't have a name yet, so it has often been called "Ocean Pointe 2" here.

Thanks for the addition, Gary.

We too were recently at Ocean Pointe. We were told that there was going to be a Marriott Hotel at the site across the street from the local beach park. Demolition had already begun. This was about 1/2 mile away from OP.


Up the road a bit, Marriott has also tentatively agreed with Riviera Beach city council on terms which would allow Marriott to tear down the old Crown Plaza and build a couple of Marriott Vacation Club multistory buildings.

This would have be totally separate from Ocean Pointe which is a 1-1/2 miles south and in the city of Palm Beach Shores.

Ocean Pointe has and old condo building that isolates its newest buidling - the Kingfish Bldg on the south end. Marriott has made a couple of offers to buy this complex, but the owners of the condo, can't agree whether or not to sale.

Hmmm, last I read on this the city council had put so many restrictions on it, including height restrictions, that Marriott and the developer told the goodbye. I wonder if the Riviera Beach had a change of heart? I sort of doubt it as there was a lot of public opposition to the proposal.

The OP 2 was well up the road around where the Hilton Hotel is. The hotel (Crown Park I think?) it was to replace wasn't accepting reservations past the last day of July last I looked. I'm not at home right at the moment so I'll have to go be and look up my info, then check the old hotels web site and see if they still aren't accepting reservations. The site was probably 2 miles north, maybe a little further but it was definately not the site of the old Ocean Mall that was looking pretty ratty.

Doug -

The city council approved two 19-story towers in early June on the Crowne Plaza site. See this thread for the info.

That's good to know. Since the Crown Plaza hadn't been accepting reservations past the last of July I figured that site was moving ahead as expected. It will be quite a distance from Ocean Pointe and I suspect it will have a different name on it, which adds some credible deniability to the OP reps saying there will be no OP sequel.

What I had thought was turned down was the proposal to put a high rise on the site of the old Ocean Mall where Johnny Longboats, Portifino's restaurant and those tourist trap shops were located.
 
Where is the Cancun location going to be?
 
I was wondering how in the world I missed the thread you linked too. When I looked at the date, we were in Gatlinburg during that time and taking a computer break. I guess that will teach me to leave the laptop at home.:doh:
 
Marriott has purchased the old Occidental Grande site in Cancun. That's supposed to be the location for Cancun #1.

If there is a second Marriott timeshare in Cancun, it's likely to be off the beach near downtown, on property Marriott has purchased between the bullring and the Seat dealership. If it goes, that one is probably at least 5+ years away.

Thanks Dave- can I ask a stupid question, though- where is the old Occidental Grande site (I know where the new one is); what is it located between?

I think that is the site of a proposed Marriott Hotel. That is what the OP salesman told us.
 
Thanks Dave!
 
It looks as though Cancun is set for sales to start in (approximately) early 2009.

Also, a St. Kitts sequel is planned - original construction, not a conversion. Possibly late 2008 or early 2009, depending on sales at the existing project.
 
Dave,
Do you think there is a possiblity that they will put timeshare units in Fiji at the new resort at Momi Bay?
It would be really nice to have something in the South Pacific.

Anything is possible, but that's not included in any list I have seen. See the earlier posts in this thread for the resorts that we know to be planned or under active consideration.

There are a number of possibilities that we don't know about. See the first post in this thread for Marriott's disclosure that it has approximately 20 properties in various planning stages.

I heard the same. There will be some new timeshare near ocean point

Good catch on the article. On the mention of Vail as a new property, my question is whether they are referring to the new Ritz Carleton there or to a new Vacation Club Timeshare???
Anybody got any input?:hi:
 
I believe both the Vail and Lake Tahoe properties are Ritz Carlton Club resorts.

The other three - the MVCI properties - have been discussed here previously - two of them in the second post of this thread and Kauai at this link (see posts #10 & 19).
