Regarding HGV Marbrisa bookings via RCI Reservations

[nase100]

Hello all,

I am an HGV owner and currently considering booking HGV Marbrisa through RCI.

I understand that Marbrisa is divided into Cove neighborhood and The Pointe neighborhood.

When I contacted RCI customer service, the room is assigned at the hotel's discretion upon check-in.

If anyone has experience with booking through RCI and getting a room assigned to a certain neighborhood, can you share it?

My goal is to stay in the Cove neighborhood through RCI reservations.

Or if you have any experience booking HGV Marbrisa through RCI, it would be very helpful.

IDK about Marbrisa - I booked via HGVC points where you could specify. With RCI however, just like within a specific booking type, you can usually ask the resort a week or two out of the start of the stay if they can put you in a specific place. It's not guaranteed, but usually they at least try and accommodate you.

I think they don't get a lot of specific requests, and for something where there's 2 large neighborhoods say, it's probably not too difficult to do what you want. I know when I was at SVV in Orlando, it wasn't hard to ask them to put me in building 13+ and they did just that. Massanutten was happy to oblige putting 2 Regal Vista units in the same "house". It certainly doesn't hurt to ask.

HGVC may provide an e-mail if anyone knows it on TUG they'll probably share. If not, just call the main resort number.
