Grand Pacific MarBrisa Resort

Grand Pacific MarBrisa Carlsbad

Does anyone know if I buy resale, would I still have day use priviledges? During the presentation, I remember the salesperson said no...but I'm doubting that.
I purchased a 2bd EOY and considering cancelling and buying resale.

Thanks in advance!

Last I heard, you'd have day use.. but the Hilton membership and points would not be available to resale buyers.

I doubt you'll find many resale weeks at this point.

Hilton

So when you say the hilton membership not transferring, does that mean I wouldn't be able to use the HGVC to exchange, etc?

From what I heard, if you buy resale.. Marbrisa will be just like any other stand alone Grand Pacific Resort. If you bought a floating week, you would book a week at Marbrisa.. and either use it or exchange through RCI.

You would not have any benefits of HGVC or use of there system

I have no idea if they implemented this, but its what they were planning.

Will this resort be availabe for open season reservations like the other HGVC resorts? I live in SoCal and would love to be able to shoot down there on short notice to stay for a couple of days, especially with the kids to go to Legoland. Will it appear on the website in the same manner as, say, the Vegas, Orlando and (occasionally) Hawaii resorts?

What does day use mean? Do I have the right, as an HGVC owner, to use their facilities when I'm in town? Does it matter that I didn't buy directly from the developer?

Thanks for the offer!

When will the resort be open for reservations?

How many units will be available?

Will the resort be part of the HGVC online reservations system?

Thanks again!

Hi Dave
I was just received the new HGVC membership book. It shows the Grand Pacific Palisades as beeing only one year in service- and marbrisa of course as brand new.
Re: GPP----Is this true? Or is it an error by HGVC.
I had always assumed that GPP was an older resort-built in the 1980s
I hve heard rumors that the GPP units available reserved by HGVC members are newer-but never gaave them any crdence.
Thanks

Will fixed prime week be the same point structure as platinum weeks? Or will they require additional points to book?

Grand Pacific Palisades (GPP) was opened in March 1999. It is a fairly new resort and is well maintained. They have begun the final build out in the main building where the sales offices are located. They will likely be moving their main sales operation to the new Marbrisa location when it opens.

It is only within the last year that GPR/HGVC began to offer developer deeded property at Grand Pacific Palisades with HGVC points options. They may have some available still but sold the majority. This is a different option than what they originally sold at GPP.

As far as the HGVC/GPP units being 'newer' it could be that the deeds are based on the new units they are now building out. But I doubt it will make any difference in the reservations as they will likely just book whatever is available throughout the resort. I could be wrong on that last point and please let me know if anyone hears different information.

I just called to book a few days at Club Intrawest using my HGVC points. I asked the HGVC agent when they would start taking reservations for GPP Marbrisa. I believe that the date she quoted me was March 7th, 2008.
