What's Your Marriott 'Sleep Number'? [How many MVC properties ...?]

[paxlin]

Here's my short list:
1. Marriott Grande Vista
2. Marriott Timber Lodge
3. Marriott Grand Residence
4. Marriott Summit Watch
5. Marriott Desert Springs 1
6. Marriott Shadow Ridge
7. Marriott Ko Olina
8. Westin Lagunamar

 

[frank808]

How many times at Ko Olina?

In the past 14 years, over 3500 nights at MKO. The first 2 years or so we averaged about 10-15 weeks annually. Then really dove in and have been staying at MKO 40 plus weeks a year.

Tough life for sure

My best guess is that we have been to all the Pulse locations at least once, As Chairman benefit level we have done 3 of the 5 Ritz properties, once each and The Sheraton Vistana Villages in Orlando and the Westin Kierland in Scottsdale , once each, plus enough Marriott Vacation Club resorts to bring our grand total up to about 45. By next spring we will have added 1 of the Bali, the Mallorca, Spain and the Bangkok, Thailand City location . So we have missed all other Sheraton Vistana and Westin Vistana locations not mentioned above.
Notable Marriott Vacation Club locations we have yet to sleep at are … France, London,
Monarch, Manor Club Sequel, Crystal Shores, Willow Ridge, RCC – Vail, RCC Aspen, Desert Springs 2, Shadow Ridge, Imperial Palms, Kauai Beach Club and the Orlando resort with Harbor in the name . We are in the club since 1995 and Chairman for about the last 10 + years . Favorite Ritz - Lake Tahoe 3 BR, Favorite Marriott - Phuket, Favorite Vistana - Kierland . Favorite Pulse - NYC.

To my surprise, it has only gone up by two resorts since my last post in 2021. The new ones have been bolded and one of those two might be cheating a little, technically we visited Shadow Ridge Villages in 2021, but I didn't have it on the list in that last post. Looks like we need to get to some new places, but even this year we are returning to many of the same resorts;

1. Aruba Surf Club
2. Barony Beach Club
3. Beachplace Towers
4. Canyon Villas
5. Crystal Shores
6. Custom House
7. Cypress Harbour
8. Desert Springs Villas I
9. Desert Springs Villas II
10. Grand Chateau
11. Grande Ocean
12. Grande Vista
13. Harbour Lake
14. Imperial Palms
15. Kauai Lagoons
16. Ko'Olina
17. Lakeshore Reserve
18. Maui Ocean Club
19. Monarch at Sea Pines
20. Ocean Pointe
21. Ocean Watch
22. Oceana Palms
23. Royal Palms
24. Sabal Palms
25. Shadow Ridge Enclaves
26. Shadow Ridge Villages
27. Surfwatch
28. Villas at Doral

Edit to add: Looks like I didn't have Doral listed. Not a new one though...

I hereby submit a formal request for video reviews of resorts in the Mountain West region, both Marriott and Vistana. If for some reason you have a dislike for altitude and/or cooler temperatures, I humbly withdraw my request.

We just haven't had a chance to make it to those locations yet. We have no issues with the mountains, but we probably wouldn't go in the winter. You might want to check Doug's Timeshare Travels (@dougp26364) and Timeshare Traveler (@Clifbell) for some videos from the left side of the country.

I have seen some of their videos. While I have nothing against them and they have good information, I just like your style of presentation a little better.

Wow 85 locations! Wife and I have a lot of traveling ahead to visit all these 70 resorts we have not been to.

There are MVC locations we own that we have not stayed at yet. Grand Residence, Willowridge, Grand Chateau and Aruba Surf Club come to mind.

2 Marbella Beach Resort
3 Playa Andaluza
4 Club Son Antem
5 St Kitts Beach Club
6 Frenchman’s Cove
7 Phuket Beach Club
8 Mai Khao Beach

Well, to be fair, you can't exactly jump in your car and hit up like 25 different ones within a 6-7 hour drive like in the Southeast US.

For sure, if only we could.
Driving to France or Spain is possible, but with a Ferry or Eurostar crossing and even then Spain is a long 1-2 day drive.
I guess that is why we always take long stays.
