I am curious. I looked at the MFs spreadsheet and couldn't find any 3 or 4 BD listed along with their MFs. What are the MFs for a 3BD and a 4BD? Also is it rare to see a resale of a 3 or 4BD at Elara?

Honestly, I have the same question. If I remember correctly, it isn't listed on the Elara budget report either. Looking at the resort information in our Sticky, Elara 3 and 4 Br are made up of 2Br plus 1Br or 2Br because they are LOs. So I wonder if the MFs are just added up from the parts also. This is just my guess but we really could use some HGVC owner to report in our MF thread.

Are there any HGVC owners of 3 or 4 bedrooms? Kinda like studios at The Flamingo where they are available to book but no one owns. There are no studio reports listed on my yearly HOA budget report. I don’t remember seeing an HGVC unit ever come up.

Wow, I never thought of that but certainly is a good possibility. My memory is nothing like @alwysonvac (you actually might have some insight on 3/4 Br also at Elara) but I did find the past budget report on Elara with no 3/4 Brs reported.
 
Hi- @MotherBear26 @GT75 @dayooper @alwysonvac
Per this post by @KDaley in thread - Westgate involvement in HGVC Elara


It appears that RESALE deeds sold at Westgate Planet Hollywood ( now Elara HGVC) can be used to "trade internally" to other Westgate properties WITHOUT
the extra charges that are usually charged to RESALE purchasers of Westgate deeds.

In my opinion - this makes sense because Westgate then likely receives the MF revenue.

I also added this thread to our resort sticky for Elara. It makes resale Westgate Elara much more attractive but I still don't have any desire to be involved with another system. Glad however for those Westgate Elara owners.

Sorry, I have no idea. :shrug:
I tend to remember HGVC exceptions and/or questions that are asked over and over again.
And I also use Google to locate old threads. ;)

A HGVC Elara owner, can check their HOA Declaration (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) document and amendments to see the HGVC unit descriptions. It can be found under the HOA Governing Document section on the HGVC website.

For example here’s the defined units for Flamingo

HGVC manages the resort and would receive the management fees associated with this property.

From March 2012 - https://www.hotel-online.com/News/PR2012_1st/Mar12_HiltonGVacationsLV.html

ORLANDO - March 01, 2012 - Hilton Grand Vacations ("HGV") today announced the official debut of Elara, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, coinciding with the launch of resort operations management by the timeshare brand of Hilton Worldwide. The announcement follows a series of recent transactions at the sleek 52-story, 1201-unit property, prominently located on the prime Center Strip of Las Vegas, Nevada.

In November, 2011, LV Tower 52, LLC ("LV Tower") acquired a controlling interest in Planet Hollywood Towers by Westgate and appointed Hilton Grand Vacations to rebrand the property and provide future vacation ownership sales and marketing services. Most recently LV Tower appointed HGV to oversee the resort's condominium association, timeshare interval reservations, and on-site resort maintenance and resort operations. The more than 17,000 existing Westgate owners of the property will continue to enjoy the full ownership rights and benefits associated with their original purchase from Westgate Resorts as well as their exchange privileges with Interval International.
