HGVC Barbados at the Crane Availability

[GregT]

Building upon @zerocylinders excellent post from above :

and GT comment: assume each unit has 50 useable weeks, to allow for maintenance

112 x Studio garden view = 2 units inventory every week

80 x 1 Bed/1 Bath = 1.5 units every week

187 x One bed/two bath deluxe = almost 4 units weekly

142 x One bed/One bath GV w/ pool - almost 3 units weekly

104 x One bed/One bath with rooftop pool - 2 units weekly

124 x One bed/One Bath deluxe with rooftop plunge pool - 2 units weekly

145 x One bedroom / two BA ocean view - almost 3 units weekly

28 x One bedroom / two bathroom ocean view and pool - not even one unit per week

112 x One bedroom / two bathroom deluxe ocean view and pool - 2 units per week

132 x Two bedroom / two bathroom garden view and pool - 2.5 units per week

45 x Two bedroom / three bathroom ocean view and pool - one unit per week

This is rough, but what is interesting to me was how “easily” I got a 2BR. I do wonder if the 1) high points requirements 2) appearance of limited inventory and 3) call-in requirement discourage people from pursuing these units.

I further speculate that owners of Crane may not use their home week every year because they can get more vacation as points. May be a flawed assumption but possible.

i believe I could have booked a 1BR or more 2BRs when I called in today (for Prez week)- without walking either of those. I booked a 1BR last week when I was practicing and I didn’t call in with an atomic clock.

This may be an example where if we are willing to splurge the points, we will be able to get the reservation. I only sighted Garden view units, which is not surprising considering the quantities.

Interesting.

Best,

Greg

From my perspective, 2 and 3 play a role. It's 2022. Not worth my time.

Don’t forget the Sargassum.

HGVC and the Crane Resort

All, Apparently, HGVC is buying a large quantity of unsold inventory at the Crane Resort in Barbados. We are speculating that these are recently built Residences at the Park, versus the original buildings which are closer to the ocean. I believe there are a few Crane owners here on TUG and I...
