So Kingstown Reef is an existing WM resort is it not? I'm assuming they are either converting inventory from WM to CWP, or are they actually adding more buildings/inventory specifically for CWP? Limetree is just Bluebeard's rebadged and rebuilt. What are the other 19 resorts?

It mentions New Hampshire, the only resort that shows up in a search is Crotched Mountain Resort, screenshot below. The resort link produces a 404 error though. No WM/CWP ski resort that I'm aware of in Mount Hood. Perhaps there are SVC resorts in those areas and they're simply adding inventory converted into CWA from owner conversions?

WM owned some units at Kingstown Reef and, if I recall correctly, managed the property (both WM and the remaining units). The units becoming Wyndham could have come from the "other" (non-WM) inventory.

Could it be Shell?

Could it be Shell?

This is what I’m thinking too. They’re probably adding all Shell resorts to Club Wyndham

how many resorts does Shell have?

 

[Eric B]

Sounds like it’s on the CWP side instead of Club Pass, too.

Crotched Mountain Resort is not new, it's been available for at least a couple years.

So, how does this relate, if at all, to the theory expressed by some in the past few weeks that Wyndham is in serious financial trouble, perhaps even in danger of bankruptcy?

So 19 not counting the affiliates, add limetree and the new orlando and that gets us to 21, including one in New Hampshire. So strong chance it is access to the Shell resorts. Wasn't Wyndham recently aggressively trying to get Shell owners to trade there deeds for Wyndam deeds?

I doubt it is related at all.

They are adding more buildings at Kingstown Reef. When I drove by last, I was surprised at the amount of open land around the existing buildings, and there was construction in March before the shut down.

 

[Manzana]

In any case it is good for us to have more options. I could speculate and dream forever it is good that we will find out in 2 days.

 

[Manzana]

This should answer any questions about where they are coming from.

 

[markb53]

There are Shell properties in all the locations mentioned.

 

[Manzana]

And the few others mentioned in the email.

Thanks for this, here’s the link to the full brochure, it’s SVC from what I can tell now. I’ve seen some SVC inventory listed in the CWA POS so best guess is that’s how they are bringing it into CWP.

The CW side of kingstown is done construction, they just need to put in the furniture. Its opening in Sept.

 

[jwalk03]

New resort options are always nice! Especially when they are bookable as Club Wyndham locations and not restricted like Worldmark or Margaritaville!

 

[55plus]

When we first bought in it was called Fairfield Resorts and I think there were only six resort locations. Look at it now.

 

[Richelle]

So far not finding any availability for the fall or later at the Shell resorts. None of them have said "Limited accommodations" on the resort page.

 

[Eric B]

It looks like the Limetree Beach Resort is bookable, but it still doesn't show up directly in searches - only through flexible dates for nearby searches.
