I am being offered 2 weeks at Tortuga Club in Sanibel Island in early September, Weeks # 36 and 37. These are 5000 points each. The cost would only by $7000 for both. I am looking at 2 5000 point units for the flexibility of using one as a timeshare there or trading in RCI or II (this has II membership also) and trading the other one in for Hilton Honors points for hotel stays if that works best for us. Also, this purchase gives 10,000 points rather than just 7000. Reading other threads, it seems more points will be needed in the future
My concerns are: 1. at $912, the MF for both weeks would be $1825 per year. I figure that at only $7000 for both weeks, it would take many years for that $1825 to break even with a ts with a lower MF. Still.... So this is really the big question. Is this worth it?
2. Isn't early September hurricane season?
3. I live in San Diego, so this would not be a trip we would do every year. But if it is really beautiful there, we could just as easily spend our week in Sanibel than Hawaii. Anyone know if they are comparible?
Thanks,
Jeff
