Hi All!
First post to here so bear with me
My friend is an owner of Club Sevilla in Kissimmee, FL and has offered to sell it to me for a really sweet deal.
I only became interested when I found that it trades through Interval International (II) and I'm already a member. However, he currently trades through RCI and has reported success with his trading power.
His week is week 10, which has a much greater rank on the Travel Demand Index than any of the weeks I trade for my sport season at the Marriott Cypress Harbour. His Unit also can be locked off which is what I'd be interested trading.
So these are my questions:
1. If I pay my due diligence and deposit the best week I can and immediately request the week I want at a resort like (Renaissance Aruba - HTB), am I to be sorely disappointing in the trading power of this resort compared to my Marriott? Would it be worthwhile to pay a few extra grand up front and get the trading power equal (or better) than what I already have by purchasing another Marriott?
2. Since I'm an II member anyway can I expect to be able to trade this unit through II if I buy although my pal currently trades on RCI?
3. Anyone have experiences (good or bad) with this resort? I have no desire or plans to ever go there... only exchange.
Thanks in advance for all comments and suggestions!
