If you can deal with the extreme heat, you can get so much for your money in the summer. I get a little bored when it’s that hot, because it’s really too hot to be at the pool. It is usually a dry heat, which helps, but man, is it hot.The same holds true for Gold Plus at Lagunamar. We used our 81K SVV StarOptions to spend 13 nights in a 1BR at Lagunamar in May. Great use of points. Won't ever be able to get the same value using DC points.
We are apparently glutton for punishment. We spent July in Palm Desert and Scottsdale last year. We are doing the same this year. Those points go much further in off season.
