As I am sitting on the 4th floor Spyglass balcony here at the Surf Club I can only wonder how the villas are assigned. My husband and I own 2 weeks here. We also own other MVC weeks and destination points and are presidential level owners. We have been coming here every year for 15+ yrs. However, we do exchange a lot thru interval and typically come here on Interval exchange in lower season. Also we usually come here with a big group so I have a few villas reserved . This time it was just my husband and I so only one unit. First we were offered a handicap unit in a Lighthouse building. We declined that since my husband is tall and the counters were way too low. Manager Boris was quite rude about it, too as a matter of fact. Yes, that is a part of the inventory but for heavens sake save those units for people that need them. Then we were given an unit where we are now, 4th floor in Spyglass building. That's fine, better than a handicap unit. Over the years , 15+ yrs , I remember being on a high floor only once, max twice. Other times never higher than 6th. I truly have to say regardless if I use Interval or not I sure do not feel like an appreciated MVC presidental level owner. After all, Interval is now owned by Marriott and my maintenance fees do keep people employed here unlike any other Interval exchangers who use a non-Marriott timeshare for an exchange to come to Surf Club. We will be coming back in June with 5 2-bedrooms villas reserved for the same time period. Very curious to see where we end up then having the villas close to each other being the top priority. I love Aruba and usually don't let the villa assignments get to me but this just makes me wonder how these units truly are assigned. According to people here this is NOT a high demand week.
