Has anyone done a trade for Costa Linda in Aruba (CDA)? I have never seen this resort trading in II, and we would like to stay here. I set up an ongoing search but am curious if anyone has had any luck getting this resort.

Welcome to TUG! If you pay to join TUG ($15), a great benefit is you can access the sightings forum where you can see past sightings of this and other resorts in both II and RCI. It is especially helpful if you are trading via II to know what unit will and will not see (match) it. As a member, I can tell you there are sightings of this resort in II.

i haven’t exchanged there,although it pops up on interval occasionally…its in the low rise hotel area,reviews on trip advisor are pretty good.

Can’t help you with II availability but we stayed at Costa Linda a couple of years ago via an RCI exchange. In fact our daughter and granddaughter are currently staying there for the week. It is an excellent resort and one that I would highly recommend.

I exchanged into Costa Linda Aruba recently for a 2 bedroom in October.

One of the TUG members who is long gone, may he rest in peace, BruceCZ, absolutely loved that particular resort and told me if I can ever get it to go. That was a great recommendation, and I do miss talking to him over the phone. He was one of my favorite TUG buddies.

We own a two bedroom at Costa Linda, week 7 (President's Week aka school vacation week). It is a beautiful facility and especially great for kids. We usually rent the unit on Redweek but would consider exchanging it but unfamiliar with the "exchange" process, as we've never done so.

Yes, Costa Linda weeks have been sighted in both RCI and II but not in bulk. Just a few weeks at a time here and there between April and December,

To improve your odds of getting a match, you’ll want to select as many week/months as possible over an extended period (starting your search 12 months in advance of checkin).
