I found this map online. I believe not all buildings were completed. Does anyone know which ones where?
I love this timeshare. Wonder why so little ended up being built.
Just curious, how is it diminished thru interval?But if you look at Marriott’s Vacations 2017 annual report you can gleem a bit about them. (1) They take pride in diminishing the value of resell units, by minimizing substantially what a resell owner can use interval for.
I was thinking of Hyatt, but would only get it if it was a week I would use more then not. Too many unknowns for the future.I’m thinking of buying into HYATT and the ability to exchange internally between all of the HYATT’s. I hope Marriott does not alter that and that option still exists.
I wasn’t stating it was diminished under interval I was referring to section of Marriott Vacations 2017 Annual Report where they discuss how they keep their unit prices proped up by many things one by limiting the benefits of a resell week vs developer purchased week.Just curious, how is it diminished thru interval?

So far I have had Hyatt just over 1 month. The phone people are extremely helpful and curteous. The checkin process at resort was simple and straight forward, owner update like all the rest, a sales presentation. Resorts are nice and clean.I was thinking of Hyatt, but would only get it if it was a week I would use more then not. Too many unknowns for the future.
II is very generous for trading. That is one thing that can change. Marriott in II allows Marriott to Marriott whereas Hyatt as I understand in II doesn’t allow Hyatt to Hyatt, you have to do that within the system.So far I have had Hyatt just over 1 month.

But few things that strike me odd. (1) I haven’t received a feedback request for my stay at their property (2) I have never received a thing from Hyatt like welcome to the club. (3) I know MF are due but could not find how to pay. Phone peeps say the will invoice me mid January.
I am eagerly awaiting my second Hyatt to be recognized by Hyatt, recorded deed sent to them 12/18. So if it works like last one should see in my account around 1/6.
The weirdest thing I find with Hyatt is the booking times you have 2,3,4 and 7 day windows if you are a deeded member. You can also get single days but they are via the portfolio program and you will have a reservation fee and a $60 fee for each 1 day stay you pick in addition to your point use. Most single days are Saturdays.
In Hyatt they weight Saturday point costs higher than other systems. Saturday point costs are 40% of weekly point total. Most other systems it’s around 20%.
Booking 2,3, and 4 days are on fixed day of start like 4 day is Sunday-Thursday, 3 day are Thur-Sat. So it’s not like you can pick exact day of week you want.
In Interval Hyatt Points seem to go pretty far. I booked a week in 2 bedroom at the Ridge in Lake Tahoe for 1300 points.
I would say I have been pretty surprised how easy it is to find internal availability for internal exchanges. While I haven’t seen weeks I have see several 3 and 4 day Hyatt Maui reservations available.
They have an internal waitlist also. You would need points in account for use (I think, but no sure if you would have to terminate your deeded week before using waitlist.). But if you use it they instantly book it if it become available.
While points from multiple contracts combine in same account, you must know that depending on your deeded week you may have limited time to use them as a combined group to book something like a week in Maui. Worst case scenario is if your weeks are 26 weeks apart.
I was considering those and Sunset but being I was going to use most of the time I decided on Banyan and HGVC Eagles Nest. I just felt overall better value. Beach House and Coconut I can trade into easily. If I ever get one it will probably be Sunset.This is what keeps me from pulling the trigger on a Hyatt. I feel I would have to pay big bucks for a diamond or platinum week (which is really the only 2 options I would consider) at Beach House or Coconut Plantation which are the resorts I would for sure use. To many unknowns right now
I’ll be at Sunst Harbor towards end of January with the DW.I was considering those and Sunset but being I was going to use most of the time I decided on Banyan and HGVC Eagles Nest.

Depending on when I might be at the Banyan. Great time of year to be there.I’ll be at Sunst Harbor towards end of January with the DW.

My trading power can change at any time, we all know that. Owning where you want to go most times is what I still believe in. If being guaranteed to go to Coconut Plantation or Beach Club was what I wanted I would go for it but even though I like both, not a must on my list. Now Sunset would be very tempting with the right unit and price.I must have lower level weeks, as the only time I was able to trade into a Hyatt with an OGS was for Memorial week at Hyatt Windward Pointe over two years ago. My SDO and QH must not have enough pull for these

Good to have at least one great trader to be able to have a little variety without giving up what you will use. My problem is I now have 4 great traders, granted I could use them too but know I probably won’t. Will probably find new homes for at least 2 this coming year. When my other half inherited his shore house with his brother my timeshare needs became different. Seems to never end. I get my portfolio where I think I am done and then life changes and so does my portfolio.This is what I'm doing, I'm buying weeks that I will always use vs trade and I'm getting rid of my units that I use only for trading and rarely stay there...I think this is a very good model as I near retirement because I want to keep my costs down...

I have WM and see Hyatt’s all the time. The only ones I don’t see are Maui and Siesta Key.I must have lower level weeks, as the only time I was able to trade into a Hyatt with an OGS was for Memorial week at Hyatt Windward Pointe over two years ago. My SDO and QH must not have enough pull for these
I like the hat idea but that won’t happen. His brother lives close to it and uses it all the time. We can only use it a few weeks a year as we are very far away. His brothers family is usually there when we are.It is never ending thats for sure.... Congrats on your other half inheriting a shore house...Thats the best way to own a place on the water share the cost and the repairs... My parents did that, we owned s summer cottage on a large lake with my dads family and Once a year we would sit down and pick what weeks we wall wanted to use.
Since the holiday weeks were always the most popular, those that wanted that week put their name into the hat for a drawing that was it was fair...
Those were my best memories as a kid being at the summer cottage withe my cousins.
