I am not yet an owner which might be why I dont know the answer to this question but I plan to own in the near future. Vistana certainly owns property in some prime locations, but they definitely have some room to grow as well. Are there any plans for new resorts in the future?

Have not attended any owner updates for a while, and have not seen anything posted here, other than the announcement made some time back about the conversion of properties in Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Kauai, and Cabo San Lucas from hotel to vacation ownership. Westin Los Cabos is open for reservations now, although I think room selection is still somewhat limited. I don't know when the other properties will be available for owners to book.

No new ground up structures. Just the hotel conversions that they are working on as indicated in the prior post.

It will be the existing Westin Hotel in the marina area close to the airport. As mentioned above, PV is a conversion of an existing resort hotel into a timeshare property.

I talked to my agent today, and she told me there is a second property in Kauai coming on board soon. I think it's also a hotel conversion. What I would really like is to see a property on the Big Island.

Yea, Kauai is a hotel conversion of the Sheraton in Poipu. It is also on the non-ocean side of the street.

Love Poipu. I stayed at that Sheraton on my honeymoon, countless years ago.
We stayed at the Sheraton Coconut Beach, Kauai, for our honeymoon in 1991, but that is not the same hotel. Coconut Beach was in Kapaa, and has been torn down due to a fire I believe. There was a very popular luau show there as well, also now gone.

I remember now - it's not a Sheraton anymore, and it was the luau that burned down.

Procrastination pays (I hope). We needed to add a night to our week at WPORV. I saw a room on Hotwire for $170 that I thought would be Koloa Landing, but turns out we got a room at the Sheraton Poipu. I will try to post photos and/or updates for anything I see regarding the conversion. But, we are also only there for one night, so not sure I have much time to explore.

I hope for ARUBA!

You can transfer points to stay at the marriott aruba beach or surf club. There was a Westin there and they were goiong to build a resort there but its so corrupt they abandoned it all.

Didn't they sell or otherwise dispose of the property they owned in Aruba? I don't even think the Westin hotel is still there?

Even though Marriott bought Starwood HOTELS, Starwood Vacation Ownership was not a part of that transaction. That entire division had been sold to Interval Group and is now called Vistana Signature Experiences. Long story short, VSE (Westin & Sheraton timeshare, etc) owners cannot use internal currency (StarOptions) to exchange into Marriott-branded timeshares.

Odd that they are going to open 44 units at the Westin Cancun in 2017 but no more until 2021. It also looks like the Sheraton Kauai is the next conversion they will be working on with Puerto Vallarta to be the last.

It was said at the ILG quarterly earning presentation that the Cancun units were to added to a pure point system which will also include the Cabo resort.
