Hi @Evergreen777 - Welcome to TUG .

I have an RCI weeks membership. I can see the following resorts listed (as AI optional) :

RCI 3155- Sunset Marina Resort and Yacht - 503 available units / thru Dec 2024
RCI 2465 -SunsetRoyal Beach Resort -457 available units / thru Dec 2024
RCI 7466 - Sunset Fisherman's Spa Resort -525 available units / thru Dec 2024

Many / most of these weeks are likely developer deposits but some could be owner deposits.

Hi @T-Dot-Traveller, thanks.

Did you buy the RCI weeks membership at the Sunset World? I'm just trying to understand their sales process. I want to know if Sunset Group sells RCI weeks memberships at their timeshare sales presentations. Thanks.

Hi @Evergreen777
RCI is a timeshare exchange company. My RCI membership was part of our 2003 purchase of Taranova.
I can pay my yearly MF and use my week at Taranova or deposit the week into RCI and then exchange.
There is an exchange fee to do this. I also pay a fee to keep my RCI membership active.

RCI and Intervals International are the 2 largest TS exchanges

With Sunset World you buy contracts. That resort family is affiliated with RCI as its exchange company. With RCI most of the resorts have 2 resort codes one code is for mandatory All Inclusive the other code is for optional All Inclusive.

I own at Sunset Fishermens Resort and Spa this is located in Playa Del Carmen, MX I own 10 contracts because I sold 2 this year. I obviously love Fishermens, but the Sunset sales machine is not a company you want to deal with.

I know Sunset is still selling memberships out of the other locations. DONT BUY ANYTHING. In my opinion there are no purely RCI memberships that are not linked to a home resort.
There are things called vacation club ownerships but they are worthless as your always competing with billions of other owners that want the same resort locations.

If you want to have an RCI membership just let someone give you a contract for free that exchanges into RCI

Due Diligence is the key.
