We own several weeks with lock-off options. A 3 bedroom at Marriott's Village d'lle-de-France which is near Disney Paris, A 3 bedroom at Playa Andaluza Spain and a 2 Bedroom at Canyon Villas. All of them are Gold.

We are looking to get two weeks at a 2 Bedroom at Playa, in November this year, this is low season and has a fairly low DP value, so I have already made the reservation using DP, but want to do an exchange as the points can be used for another trip.

I've looked at converting one of the weeks we have for DP but the value is not enough to get me two weeks at Playa, hence the exchange.

I don't think I will have a problem exchanging like-for-like for the main part of the villa it's the lock-off portion into a 2 bedroom that will be the issue. I know we will have to pay a £138 upgrade to go from a studio to 2 Bedroom, but can't do anything about that.

Which of the 3 properties do you think has the best chance of getting me what I'm looking for via II.

Thoughts would be most welcome

There are a lot of resorts in an area or with a name that include Playa. I apologize that I am not a mind reader. Perhaps you could expand a bit.

Playa Andaluza was mentioned earlier in my OP, so hopefully that provides the info. Do you have a suggestion as to what the best option is? or simply expanding on the number of "Playa" there are.
No need to apologise that you are not a mind reader but hey for what it's worth in my opinion common sense and the ability to read are a great starting point

Thanks for the clarification. I obviously didn't tie together where you owned versus the Playa you were hoping to get. My error.
