Westin Mandatory Resorts

[Beacon888]

Hi There, I've been reading the threads and trying to familiarize myself with the Starwoods group. If I buy Westin Keirland Villa, is it important to purchase platinum rather than gold for using in Staroptions?

Is the Sheraton Vistana also a Mandatory resort?

thanks for your help

The advantage of buying mandatory Platinum is you get more StarOptions for the same annual MF. However, the higher the season of use, the higher the purchase price.

All of Sheraton Vistana Resort (SVR) and most of Sheraton Vistana Villages (SVV) are voluntary. Only the Bella and Key West sections at SVV are mandatory. Salty

From the SVN article, which I believe you'll find to be very helpful, the Mandatory properties are:

•Harborside Resort at Atlantis
•Sheraton Vistana Villages, Bella and Key West phases only
•Westin St. John, Virgin Grand/Hillside phase only
•Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas
•Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas, North
•Westin Kierland Villas
