hi all
i just returned from hilton villamoura , 2nd time we have been & this time we joined the vacation club.
We purchased 7000 points for the 12,800 euros. giving us a week in peak season in a 2 bed apartment. they gave us an additional free week to use this year or next year & 1000 euro credit for the excellent spa.
I fund this excellent site & see a lot of posts saying anyone who buys direct, should rescind and buy resale right away - in most cases. so im now wandering if we should do the same..
HOWEVER we would want to go to only this hotel for the next 3-4 years as we have young children & its only a couple of hours on a plane.. AND we would want to go in peak season late july / early august - which is the busiest time at the hotel due to the portugese holidaying during this period.. so im not sure if we would be able to get the availability during this period , if for instance we purchased points from another resort.
taking into consideration the free week we got thrown in ( we just stayed a week this year & paid 3500 euros for the 2 bed apartment for the week during august ) ... and the 1000 euro spa credit, i was thinking we got a pretty good deal
taking all the above into consideration, would we still be best to consider rescinding ? or would we need the direct deal for the time we need it.. and if so does it sound like a fair to average deal that we got `/
sory for the long post , but want to get advice from you all
thanks
