My daughter was disappointed in the Kauai timeshare units. She owns at World mark which I believe is the same timeshare. But the Pink Kai timeshares are excellent.As an owner in RAVC since 1999 with 1 one bdrm unit and 13 two bdrm units I looked deeply into the merger and am thrilled it passed. I purchased all on the resale market for an average of $1500 each. The reason was to ensure a minimum of being able to book 8 to 12 weeks in Maui and Kona each winter and still abiding within the "Hawaii rule". This required calling immediately when reservations commenced for my desired dates which was a bit nail biting. Now with a number of RAVC members dropping out after cashing out and VI's 13 month rule for present RAVC members I think guaranteeing winters in Hawaii will be easier. In addition to trading in the RAVC weeks to VI points I, like many others, will have unused banked weeks to use or trade off. The return to members of RAVC's assets was icing on the cake. Another positive is not being tied into the Monday to Monday week. We now check in and stay more or less than 7 days to accommodate our personal schedule. Also VI has locations on Kauai which RAVC lacked.
I was surprised to see a majority of negative comments in this thread. I find the merger to be great in all aspects.
