Does anyone have any idea of where the prices will be starting for platinum season at Westin's upcoming Palm Desert property? Also, is it safe to assume it will be a voluntary resort?

Thx!
Martin

I called Mission Hills yesterday to ask about this. They could not tell me when they are going to start selling, maybe 3-6 months and of course they could not tell me about pricing.The are not taking names to send info either I guess we will hear throught the grapevine! I didn't even ask about it being voluntary....I'm just assuming it will be, if Princeville is voluntary, I can't imagine them making Desert Willow mandatory.

Call Jim Johnson of SVO Direct Sales - he can probably give you updated info.

As to whether it will be a V or M resort ? V resort - bet on it.
(even though they are 'illegal'... sorry... I couldn't help myself...)

I think you know this, but absolutely no one is saying that v resorts are illegal. Just that they'll have to treat the inventory as two separate pools. The books have to be balanced, one way or another.
