Hi,

I am a Vistana owner. As I mentioned previously we were given as a sales promotion of an II developer week for a 2 bedroom. We are trying to figure out where to use it as it can supposedly be used anywhere II has availability any season. We figured to get the biggest value for it, we should look at the elite resorts. We have been to some of them. We have been to Marriott Ford Colony Virginia, The Westin Kierland Villas Arizona, The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Hawaii, The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas Hawaii, Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club, The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort Cancun, and Vidanta in Nuevo Vallarta and Riviera Maya. We are looking at some new ones to consider. We are looking at the Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara, North San Diego, Four Seasons Residence Club Scottsdale at Troon North, Four Seasons Country Club in Algarve Portugal, Marriott's Marbella Beach Resort Spain, and Marriott's Playa Andaluza Spain. Has any one had any experience with these resorts, or any other elite resorts they would recommend that are on II? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
 
Four Seasons Aviara and Scottsdale are wonderful (and what I would consider the very best timeshares).
 
Asking on a Westin message board if anyone has any experience of Westin resorts is a bit of a moot point as 99% of the people who post on here own at them and so more than likely would recommend them as I would having been to them all. Having said that, if I were you I'd branch out beyond the bounds of US/Mexico and give Spain/Portugal a go.
 
I believe you need to be a member to see them, but that (and access to the sightings forum) are worth the small fee membership entails.

Yes, I didn't think mentioning that was necessary as it should simply display the requirement when attempting to access.

You can see the ratings/rankings and resort descriptions as a non-member but need to be a member to read the reviews.

I live walking distance near Four Seasons Aviara. I can confirm it is probably one of the best resorts you can find in II. Another one I consider highly is Hyatt Carmel in Big Sur.
 
Thanks everyone!
