I own a week there and tend to trade in RCI. I see on web directory that it is now a new resort in II. Anxious to see how other owners feel about this. I prefer to trade in II.

All I can say is that you are so lucky. We own at Bay & Beach Club and I can't wait for the day we can deposit into RCI.

I hate II but they have a contract with my resort until 2010 I think.

Luckily this timeshare is one that we usually use and not trade.

I have traded Vistana's Beach Club in II and enjoyed the exchanges and service. I hate RCI's website.

Can you both tell me something about the Indian Shores or Treasure Island area in FL? I have thought about exchanging there and belong to II and RCI and call pull both resorts mentioned.

I love II's search engine that shows everything available but the down side is most desirable trades are seen within a 6-8 month window. With RCI I do not like their search engine at all with the constant need to input areas,dates and 5-10 weeks. I wish it mirrored II's but having said that I see desirable trades up to 2 years out. I own weeks that pull nice trades.

I love the area. I prefer Treasure Isalnd as an area but do not know about the resorts there. Indain Shores is an older resort but even the one brs are huge (almost 700 sq ft). Great area to relax and enjoy what Tampa Bay and beached have to offer!
