I am hoping that some of you more prolific HGVC owners can help me decide what my husband and I should do. We just got back from our vaca @ Kingsland in Waikoloa. We were duped into purchasing from the builder, but we rescinded right when we got back home (thank goodness!) Our stay at Kingsland and experience at their Hilton resort really helped us to know that we would really like to purchase an HGVC timeshare but on the resale market instead.
Long story short, we aren't sure what location we should purchase. We think that 7,000 annual points would be great for us, and we will more than likely go to Hawaii at least every other year. I am a teacher with a year-round schedule, so our Hawaii vacation can be in October when I have a break (Off-season, right? At least not platinum season.
Should we bite the bullet and pay not only more up front for a Hawaii property but also more on MF? We've looked into the Bay Club @ Waikoloa, which at least has lower upfront costs, but I've read threads that seem to indicate that Bay Club doesn't have free access to the Hilton Waikoloa Village resort. Is that true? We are also looking into purchasing in LV or Orlando for overall lower costs.
What would you advise?
