I have been doing some messing around to get my timeshare information into one place into a table in Word, with the focus on US, including Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands] and Canada. So when this list popped up on TUG, I just couldn’t resist. I added location information for the entire list as well as the RCI and II codes as provided in TUG—or if I had more, from my table. In addition, I tried to locate more information if the resorts were not in the RCI or II online directories. The information about US and Canadian resorts is pretty dependable; the information about resorts outside of the US and Canada more sketchy and may need to be checked more thoroughly. I can provide more information about where I found the information listed for the US and Canada if needed.

NOTE: When I say “closed”, I mean that there appears to be no timeshare exchanges; often the resorts live on in other ways.

Here are the resorts I think are closed [see notes in PDF file]:
Here are the resorts that may be closed but someone more versed than I am about them may want to check further: For further information see notes in PDF file]
  • Alpin Palace Muerren RCI Disclosure Guide [2009/2010] last listing. See also below
  • Brahma Blue Holistic Oasis
  • Castle Resorts - Kamaole Sands
  • Club la Costa at Marina Dorada
  • Coral At Taino Beach
  • Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan
  • Divi Heritage Resort 4034- no longer listed on Divi Resorts website
  • East Pines at Alpine Bay: It appears that the other Alpine Bay timeshares are also CLOSED or on the verge of doing so: 2134 Dogwood Hills at Alpine Bay and 0920 The Pines at Alpine Bay. I can’t get clarity on this as they are no longer in RCI; supposed to exchange through 7 Across, but the web link at 7 Across leads to a broken web site for Crown Resorts. They are not listed on the Crown Resorts home page. See Excel spreadsheet for notes; I can supply more
  • Grand Hyatt San Francisco
  • GTC at the Elegance Suite Hotel
  • Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort and Spa
  • Hotel Napolean
  • Lakeview Country Club not sure about status of this resort
  • Manchester Grand Hyatt
  • Royal Host Club/La Paz
  • Royal Private Residence Club
  • Tambor Pacifico
  • The Sanctuary Resort & Spa
  • Vistazul Vacation Club

Here are some items which might need to be corrected in the TUG review database; I did not include changes of names which are in the Excel spreadsheet nor the additional RCI and/or II ID codes I found.
  • Amadores Beach Club: not in TUG review list;
  • Anfi Palace Muerren: is this Alpin Palace Muerren in Switzerland? If so, RCI Disclosure Guide [2009/2010] last listing; not in TUG review list; CLOSED?
  • Aventura Spa Palace name change to Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya Heaven already caught
  • Burlington Bay Lakehomes @ Superior Shores: May want to merge this with Superior Shores
  • Bushman's Nek Berg and Trout Resort TUG location differs from RCI’s
  • Casa San Felipe Hostal now Villas San Felipe (#RB32) see notes in spreadsheet
  • Club la Costa Encantada no longer in RCI [A434] but still in II online directory
  • Country Club Villas at Rio Rancho no longer trades through RCI or II, but does trade through DAE and Trading Places; only 2 timeshare units
  • Diamond Resorts - Palazzo Catalani note different address from one in TUG reviews
  • Driftwood Worldgate Resort ( Radisson ) RCI lists as Driftwood Worldgate Resort; The website provided by RCI leads to Radisson Hotels, but this resort is not on their Orlando list. The resort became a Park Inn [managed by Radisson} and then a Days Hotel by Wyndham Celebration
  • Hippocampus Viña del Mar Resort & Club Not in the TUG Reviews
  • Manchester Grand Hyatt RCI Platinum; was the Affinia Hotel until 2018; now The Stewart Hotel. ? does RCI still offer rentals or access via Platinum membership?
  • Marrakech Palm Club not in TUG review list
  • Marriott Residence Inn Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf see notes; I suspect that there are still possible exchanges from the fractional ownerships in the Residence Inn; also city is spelled wrong in TUG reviews
  • Ocean Isle Beach Club not in TUG review list
  • Phillips Club at Lincoln Square Not sure if this should be in the TUG review section; it was a direct exchange through Four Seasons fractional ownership; “trades” via Elite Alliance
  • Royal Decameron Golf, Beach Resort & Villas; note change of town
  • Royal Host Club at Royal Harbour Resort now RCI 3982 Royal Harbour Resort, The; 3983 no longer used
  • RVC at Hotel Rama Candidasa no TUG review listing
  • Sanbonani no TUG review listing
  • The Ridge View - A Quintus Resort November 2019 Holiday Inn Club Vacations acquired The Ridge Tahoe, The Ridge Pointe, The Ridge View and The Ridge Crest; in late 2020 the entire resort will be branded as Holiday Inn Club Vacations Tahoe Ridge Resort and begin operating as one resort; no longer a Quintus Resort

holy smokes, thats amazing! let me see if i can start incorporating these! WOW!

i can certainly provide you with more resorts that need updating/reviews if you have a larger list! these for now are just the ones that havent really seen anything in the last 10 plus years.

the closed ones arent really hurting anything for now as noone is likely looking for information on them etc, so if you want to focus on ones that need name changes etc, that would be a much bigger impact to cleaning things up and helping ensure people can find the correct resorts within TUG!

Here's another resort that is closed, but not on your list: Hawk's Nest resort in Marathon, FL. It was severely damaged by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and has been closed ever since. According to one owner's website, the owners recently voted to terminate the resort and sell the assets. Here is a link to that website: Hawk's Nest Terminated

We've traded into that resort several times over the years and we're sad to see that this timeshare appears to be gone for good. It will be interesting to see what replaces it since its location at the base of 7 Mile Bridge is a prime location.

also note that the list above is not at all an exhaustive list of resorts, just ones that havent seen any updates in 10 or more years.

Did you get my PDF file? I put the information into an Excel worksheet but had a dickens of a time getting it to convert to PDF because the notes field was too wide. Maybe I should send you the Excel file directly?

As for the closed resorts, it might be helpful to put "CLOSED" after their names in the review file. That way people will know the status. I have noted a few classified ads in the past, for instance and not necessarily in the TUG for sales area, for closed resorts. Also we all will know why there aren't more recent reviews.

I would be glad to work on helping clean up the information as long as it is confined to US and Canadian resorts. I have noticed special rules about naming [for instance often starting the name with the name of the club] I probably should know about these. The cleaner the review files are, the better for all of us.

Quail Hollow Village at Beech Mountain Lakes (2071) is now Crown Resorts at the Poconos. I could write a review if you like, but in the past I've had trouble getting reviews to post.

what issues have you had in the past? the only issue that should exist now is if it takes longer than 1 hour to complete the review (and we have a countdown timer).

if its an extremely long review we always suggest typing it in an email to yourself and then you can simply copy/paste the bulk of the review right into the review form and submit it instantly.

Hi there, We have recently stayed at Royal Victoria Suites in Victoria British Columbia. We stayed in a 2 bedroom. It has been completely remodelled and reopened due a fire (after 2 years of renos) and is quite nice inside. The 2 bedroom has a large loft bed and another enclosed bedroom. I cant remember if the larger room was a King but I think so. It was quite nice. It is close to the downtown area and walkable to the harbour and downtown area. Due to its down town location, the parking is an issue. You can find parking on the street at night but have to move your car early or you will get a ticket. The other option provided is having your car parked at a local hotel kitty corner for a fee of $20 Canadian a night. That was worth it for peace of mind. Victoria is a beautiful city with lots of local beautiful beaches, especially in the Oak Bay area which is the more expensive part of Victoria. If you are a cyclist , you will enjoy the trails there as well.

Royal Victoria suites does not have a bathtub in the newly renovated rooms. It does not have a hot tub or pool either, just fyi.

It is a lovely remodel now.
