Hi Everyone,

Would you know if it is possible to get into the Margaritaville Rio Mar in late August/early September on a regular basis with Club Wyndham Access points? Thanks!
What size unit are you looking for?

Hi Everyone,

We live about 20-25 minutes from the Pompano Beach resorts and this year will be our 11th hurricane season in southeast Florida. August and September are the two worst months for heat and humidity in addition to being peak hurricane season. There's no way I'd be planning a vacation there at that time of year. Take a look at the storm damage history for Puerto Rico.

I'm sure there are people who vacation there and didn't encounter a storm or have to change their plans because of one. I just wouldn't take vacation time, book flights and the resort and then be watching the weather and worrying.

I agree with what you said but there is a reason for the dates (Anniversary). We have been going to the Rio Mar Hotel for the last 20 years and only got hit by 1 Hurricane. I know it is risky. So would it be easy to book this time period using Club Access? When we go we always see the Margaritaville pretty booked.

For what it is worth, I have CWA and see multiple 1 br deluxe, studio and studio deluxe available in August and September. It is right at the 5 month mark this month as well. Obviously your mileage may vary, but it looks like it should be accessible.
