What is the difference between Sheraton Desert Oasis (RCI 5247) and Sheraton Desert Oasis II (RCI D524)?

Thank you.

Yes - but Starwood bought the resort from another developer so there were units sold by another developer, and units sold by Starwood.

It is weird that you can trade into the different sections of SDO and they have different trading power.

The difference in trading power is the season:

Platinum
Gold Plus 1-52 floating

Silver
