Now that the Royals are at both II and RCI - where are most of the deposits being made?

I am interested to know too. I don't see them in II nearly as much as I used to a few years ago.

I can tell you as a member, I never joined RCI. So, when I deposit it is with II.

I have zero experience exchanging. I did look on RCI and I saw a list of 25 units for the Sands, from April 30 to June of 2017, 2 were 2BR and 4 were 1BR suite all the rest were the lock offs. Not sure if this helps, I see a dollar amount, no entiendo (?).

Units that meet your criteria
Total Units Available: 25
Hotel 2 (2) Mini Sat 23-Apr-2016 Sat 30-Apr-2016 USD 285.00

We own at the Royal Sands and the Royal Haciendas. We use II and we refused to join RCI. Most of the owners we know stayed with II.

We own weeks at the Royal Islander and Royal Sands. When we exchange, we use II, including when we exchange our units for other Royal properties.
We did use SFX once, but our go to is II. Never joined RCI, and don't expect to.

Thanks everyone - good to know that most are staying within II. I hate to have to join another exchange company when I just want to make an internal exchange!

This website is another outstanding tool to exchange, rent out your villa and locate another. Just navigate to the appropriate forum ;)
