I am a Wyndham timeshare owner, VIP Gold, and am happy with a lot of their resort. But, my wife and I are now starting to expect a little more. We recently rented a week on redweek and stayed at Timberlodge in Tahoe. Wow, what a great vacation. We really enjoyed the Marriott, and as much as my wife hates the timeshare presentations, (another Wyndham negative
), I talked her into going to the Marriott presentation. I was interested in the progam and since coming home I have been reviewing some of the pages here and checking prices on resale.
We live in NC, and I think my choice for home resort would have to be Myrtle Beach. We can drive there in only 3 hours and it is very convenient for other family members to meet us there. After reviewing the pricing I have also considered Williamsburg, but to be honest, I can usually get a decent Wyndham resort there pretty cheap.
I already own some Wyn at MB and know that is something I have to reserve 13 months out. I am fairly happy with Wyn Seawatch, but will probably look to visit the Marriott there soon.
I am interested in more experienced Marriotters opinions on this strategy, also what would be the best strategy to guarantee a plat week useage? Also, I will retire in 3-4 years and would like to know if as an owner can I use the resort even on a week that I am not staying there. The Sales person at Timberlodge said that I could use my home resort since I am an "owner".
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Also, if anyone else needs info on Wyn I belong to a great yahoo group that can help with that.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas, NC
