What is the Best US Based Resort to Quarantine for 6+ weeks?

[vol_90]

Likely to get moved out of my current location overseas and need a place to reside for several weeks with no official home in the US. Which resorts offer the best social distancing? Thinking Legends Edge in Panama City since there are limited number of rooms. Have enough points with Redweek rental cancellations to stay anywhere and every resort in Florida has availability. I have the opportunity to fly into any US location so Utah, Colorado, and California (not likely) are available destinations as well. Appreciate any comments......

I would think Canyon Villas in Scottsdale would be a good choice too. Warm, Dry air. Small resort but near real city if you needed things. And also Mayo clinic if things got bad.

Both Canyon Villas and The Mayo Clinic are in Phoenix..although there is a Mayo Clinic campus in nearby Scottsdale

I think your choice is good. I would also consider Cypress Harbor. You can stay away from people pretty easily there, and few people are going due to Disney or Universal being closed. It's close to grocery stores, and for me one of the nicest properties albeit older.

Palm Springs?
I would think it would be pretty quiet there. Deseret Springs I & II are spread out. The units are in 2 story buildings.

Agree with Cypress Harbor. That should work for your needs.
Good luck & stay safe!

The best resort to be quarantine for six (6) weeks or more is home.LOL.

Isn’t there a possibility of resorts closing? That would be my worry.

Except that the Cochella Valley is a hot spot.

Are you speaking figuratively or literally?

That would be my concern with California. I enjoy the Palm Springs Resorts and probably the best value for points at this time.

All events in Palm Springs have been cancelled like tennis tournament and Cochella and stagecoach so if openings exist desert springs I and II are very nice with large units.
II has two bedrooms that have lock offs. I has the master and lock off room separated by a foyer.

town has good medical care, restaurants for take out and several grocery stores and a large target. Has 2 mile walking path around timeshare buildings which is nice.
I’d pick here over canyon villas as there are better greater places to be outside and walk and the timeshare patios or balconies are larger and nicer. Units are larger too.

we live iN Los Angeles and go here a lot, just there weekend of March 7th. Seemed slow and quiet. We did take out and restaurants not busy. After we left the tennis tournament was cancelled. not sure if resorts have been shut down or if they are still open.

If I were going somewhere to ride out the virus, I would also vote for Arizona. There is also good medical care in Phoenix and Scottsdale. I love Palm Desert but I think that area is going to be overwhelmed with the older population very soon. Actually California in general probably not a good place to be if you don't have to. I'd look for somewhere that isn't in the middle of an outbreak or hot spot.

I wouldn't be surprised if LE closed down but there's some risk of that result at all resorts. AZ does seem like a good choice also Branson? Williamsburg?

 

[Big Matt]

The Williamsburg area has been hit with a relatively large number of cases. They are reacting very aggressively given the large elderly population.

 

[Steve Fatula]

Branson is still open last I checked, some events are still open. They are seating people apart though.

I doubt it for timeshares. On paper timeshares are legal deeded property. Whether the government could close them is debatable but without that it isn't a question.

 

[Big Matt]

The challenge will be with resorts where you can easily restrict entry to an entire area (Hilton Head)

Update I fly at 1:40PM Dhaka time tomorrow (March 22nd). Dhaka to Bangkok (Thai Airways), Bangkok to Narita (ANA), Narita to Hawaii (ANA). Booked 2 weeks 1 Bedroom Ocean View Penthouse 16 nights under 4 different reservations. I believe this will last more than 2 weeks and have an opportunity to check out the other resorts in Hawaii. Hope I make it!!!! Flight cost Business class was $5,000 cheaper than flying to Houston and like that Hawaii is fairly isolated......

Good luck to you! Be safe!

Just saw on the HGV website, they have stopped accepting new reservations for the next 30 days at most resorts. A short list of resorts are actually closing. I would not be surprised if MVC did something similar.

 

[Big Matt]

I think you made a great decision. Nothing like waiting out an epidemic in paradise.

 

[1Kflyerguy]

I actually just saw that the MVC website has a special Covid 19 sections, they have a list of every resort and it s current status in terms of the amenities affected and if the resort itself is open or closed. At the moment it looked like it was mostly European resorts that were closed. but i imagine that may spread to more resorts.

I am not sure but I think Hawaii has a mandatory 14 day quarantine upon entry. I have not fact checked this but perhaps you should look into it.

14 day quarantine is good. Thanks for the link. Was originally trying to get to Thailand which also has a 14 day quarantine. They now require a visa and medical certificate to enter the country which I do not have. Prefer Phuket to anywhere. Waiting to get my passport back from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka this morning before I can go anywhere. Was trying for Business Visa to work from there. Unfortunately takes 10 -12 working days and submitted only on Wednesday. This escalated quickly.

I was able to book reservations at Ko Olina on the MVCI website....
