Does anyone know the differences in units at Hacienda del Mar when exchanging via RCI? I know there are studios, 1BR, 2BR and 3BR listed on RCI. The HDM website doesn't say much about the differences among the different unit types. Basically I am trying to figure out if all 1BRs have an ocean view; I can see that not all studios will have a view. Do their 1BRs have 2 bathrooms? Any specifics anyone can shed on the unit types is much appreciated! Thank you!

Will have the room info. No, not all units have an ocean view. I was in a remodeled 1 BR unit. Upstairs had the living room/kitchen. Downstairs had the bedroom and bathroom.

hurnik,

The HDM website no longer shows all of the different unit types for both timeshare and hotel units; when Sheraton was affiliated, I believe the website showed descriptions for all of the unit types.

Did your 1BR have 2 baths? Was it a spiral staircase to get to the second floor?

From what I have been able to find so far, there seems to be at least two different 1BR configurations where one has one bath with a small mini kitchen and the other has two baths with a full kitchen. I have a 1BR on hold with RCI and it is only described as having a max occupancy of 6 with privacy for 4. There has been reference to a “master suite” and “executive suite“; does anyone know the difference?

I would like to reach out to the resort to request a certain floorplan but would like to educate myself first!

AFAIK, the timeshare side and hotel side were completely separate (ie, you couldn't book into the hotel side via RCI). timeshare owners had access to both sets of amenities (restaurants and pools).

The 1 BR I had was a single staircase (not spiral) and 1 bathroom. They may have had 1 BR "plus" units, that may have had 2 bathrooms, but not the one I was in. Mine was a refurbished/updated unit. I requested that. My sister had the 3 BR penthouse but it was not remodeled/updated.

You're probably better off emailing the resort to ask for floor plans. I might have some old ones but will have to dig around in my emails, and that was like 4-5 years ago so I'm sure a lot has changed since.

According to my RCI account via HGV, NONE of the 1 BR have multiple bathrooms. 3/4 bath is all you get (shower, toilet, and sink). There was a jacuzzi tub in my 1 BR unit

2 BR lists as "varies" for the bathrooms, so I can't answer there.

None are guaranteed ocean view rooms via RCI (or any other exchange, AFAIK). You could request when you email the resort about 2 weeks prior to check-in, but depending on when you go (high season vs. low season), it's a crap shoot.
