Hi,,
I just submitted a bid for a week 25 at Hyatt Sunset Harbor and it is now going through ROFR. My first Timeshare!!!! I was told that it always passes ROFR but now am worried. How long does this process take?
Are you happy with Sunset Harbor, the Hyatt point system and Interval? I really enjoy the keys so most of my time will be there, but just curious.

Appreciate any info..

I bought Sunset Harbor a few years ago and love it. It's not the most plush timeshare, but the location is the best in Key West I think. It is close to everything on Duvall St., but still quiet. They didn't used to exercise ROFR, but seem to have started lately. My guess is that since they started planning on a Pure Points System (whatever that means), we have seen them exercising their ROFR. I especially like the fixed week, fixed unit. You are never disappointed - you always know what you are getting. I understand that trading in the Hyatt network is pretty easy. It's a great program for Interval Int'l also. If you can live with studios and shoulder seasons, you can frequently get 3 weeks at other resorts from your 2 bedroom unit.


Cubs,
See Suzanne's post below yours. Her post is spot-on.

Week 25 may pass ROFR, but it could depend on what your offered bid is. Historically, it has taken ~30 days. Lots of variables. If you can be more specific, we can answer you better.

The process of trading within the Hyatt network is easy, getting exactly what you want isn't always easy unless you want off season or shoulder seasons. It's not impossible to "exchange up" if there is availability.

Read our Kal's website and take the time to read all about the Hyatt system.

Ours passed right of first refusal this time. Hyatt exercised their right last month and we decided to try one more time only. Paid an extra 1,400 to be sure and got it. We are celebrating. Actually we are at Hyatt Park Residence right now, total 5 star resort. I will write a review but we are loving it! Hyatt did not take 30 days either, only 3 weeks this time. We now own 2 weeks!!!

My 6K offer was accepted last week on a week 25, 2 bed/2 bath unit. Not sure if that is good enough or not. Prices at different resorts seem to be all over the place. thanks for the info..

Thanks for disclosing. I would be very surprised if this doesn't pass.

I hope it does. It's a great place.

It looks like my offer has cleared the ROFR. Can someone let me know what happens next? Will I get something from Hyatt before the closing and I part with my cash?

Thanks for all the help.

The Title Company already has something from Hyatt. They won't let it close without it.
Congratulations - it's a great place and you got a great price. I'd like to find another one, too.

I now have the contract in hand and ready to close. How do I know I am not sending money to some guy in his basement?
Any way to verify?

Thanks, all

The money should go to the Title Company. Have you heard from them yet?

Do some investigating on line. I couldn't find a World Vacation Title when I Googled it. I only question it because our real estate company has had 5 recent cases of Malware lurking on some buyrs' computers and they received email directing them where to wire the money for real estate settlements and it was totally bogus. They eventually got all the money back but it took some time. I'm certainly not saying that is the case here but it is worth your time to do a little investigating. I get 2-5 fake emails a day that look very authentic. Once you click on their link, they can plant the software on your computer. It's really easy to get fooled. Their logo's all look authentic.

Is it Vacation World Title in Florida ?

If so, I've used them before and have contact information if you'd like to compare.

Cubsrule,

Who are you dealing with; name, email address and phone number, please ?

I can compare against my recent closing and verify at the same time.

All went well with Vacation World Title.

The contract has
Vacation World title, LLC
2000 N. Dixie Highway, Suite 201
Boca Raton, FL 33431
561-409-3643
Vacationworldtitle.com

I am working with a Thomas Kwok and a sofia bardalez from Fidelity.

I have done a lot of looking online and it all looks legit but stuff is so easy to fake online these days. Just hoping somebody has dealt with these folks...

thanks all for helping.. Really appreciate it....

Thanks for posting this, we were a little worried if it wasn't. It's easy to mix up the name.

I have done business with them and all went well. I don't know Tania or Thomas, but all went well except for a small error which was quickly corrected.
Make sure that the balance owed is minus the deposit (if you sent one). The final amount owed did not reflect my deposit of $1k. They apologized and quickly emailed me a corrected document.

The HSH is a great place. I have weeks 4 & 6 in units 214 and 224. I spend week 5 at the Marriott Beachside with my Marriott Rewards points.

While I was prepared to do more, I stumbled upon a $1 1400 point week at Wild Oak. It was just submitted today. I'll update here on how it fares in the ROFR.

Just received notice that Hyatt waived its ROFR on this contract. 2 bedroom, week 41. Given my intended use (occasionally off-peak weekend and mid-week stay), I think we will be happy with this. I know I'm happy with the initial price point.

I have also heard that they have been exercising for Coconut Plantation units as well. Could that be due to the new buildings coming in 2017? What's going to happen to the CP mfs once the new buildings open? A huge increase maybe?.

Does anyone have any information or is able to point me to info on new buildings for 2017 at Coconut Plantation?

Congratulations, We added a week at Beach House also. Hyatt has not been exercising their right lately. They bought a lot back one month then seemed to stop

Sorry, I haven't seen that. Only the actually sales are listed. The last time I looked at the list, Hyatt wasn't exercising any ROFRs that I know of.

I have a call into a timeshare broker acquaintance. She has some expertise with Hyatt resales .

Is there a particular resort or resorts you'd like me to ask about ? I'd be happy to.

May I get her contact for hyatt resale? We just stayed in SA Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch and attended their sales presentation. We loved it but not at 20-32k.
