Escanoe I’m curious as to why you would never own a Palmera week. I would appreciate any information about either Palmera or Island Links.
What
@tschwa2 said above. I am of the "trader" school of timeshare ownership. I steer clear of acquiring anything that I know I will likely have to pay someone to take off my hands later. Thus far, I have had zero trouble trading into the Palmera resorts on HHI.
I got an absolute trading bargain to stay there at Island Links this summer. Something must have been wrong with the RCI alogrhythm when I got a prime summer 3BR for 39,999 RCI points (costing me $268 in MFs for points + a $259 exchange fee). This is a rare anomaly, but on any given year I can trade in as cheap as I can own.
I was going to give HHI a break this summer and do something else, but this deal was more than I could pass up.
To each their own. I do not think this would be a terrible place to own, but it is just not how I do my timesharing.
Where are you looking at buying? I like the Port O'Call 3BR cottages best. This summer will be my first time trying Island Links.
I notice that Coral Sands now has a 1 in 4 rule. [Doesn't matter to me as that is my least favorite.] If they expand the 1 in 4 rule to other properties, that could take away some options for me .... but I am happy to take my risks and keep on playing the trading game.
