Where would you like to see a new Wyndham resort?

I don't think Wyndham is interested in RTU and the whole Mexican timeshare sales tactics, though I know that sounds ironic. And they already get dots on the map with El Cid.

Perhaps not, but Wyndham already has several hotel resorts in Mexico, just not for timeshare owners. They could do something to allow usage.

Wyndham used to have a timeshare property in Nassau, Bahamas but it was purchased by Royal. It was very run down. Baha Mar (the new resort) has the old Wyndham property. The Melia Resort (new spot) has a resort over there and they have a relationship with - TRYP by Wyndham. However, you can not book with Club Wyndham or exchange yet with RCI.

I would also like to see another Wyndham property/ resort in Washington, D.C. - not just National Harbor (MD) or Old Town, Alexandria (VA).

If ever they pull the trigger on a Wyndham brand timeshare in cancun, my money would be on it being a MV.

For sure. The only thing is if they are trying to build in locations where they can add a on site restaurant. Apparently in Orlando they do not have plans to add one but I think eventually they would.

MV is building non timeshare resorts so there is a chance later on some availability is added to Wyndham.

With Wyndhams ovation program there is less need to build more resorts.
 
New Wyndham Resort

Love to see on in the 1000 Islands in New York -Clayton/Alexandra Bay or the Adirondacks and in Maine
 
I agree that it's key to identify locations that will appeal to buyers. It's not that long ago that very few resorts were located in urban vacation spots and more are opening in response to potential buyers' interests.

What about the areas bordering major U.S. National Parks?
Are any of them located in 3-season or nearly year-round tourism destinations?

Many families love to return regularly to vacation in areas with natural beauty. The Great Smoky Mountains area (Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville) has good weather for much of the year. But it's already well served by timeshares, including Wyndhams.

We would have loved to stay in a timeshare that's only a few miles from the Grand Canyon rim, or just outside an entrance to Yosemite. Instead, we paid more for hotel nights than we normally do, for park proximity on our trips to CA and AZ. Matching a search to any resort near Yellowstone or Bryce/Zion is tough and quality options are very limited.
 
Cape cod
Montreal
Quebec City
Nova Scotia
Naples/sanibel/fort Meyers or other western Florida spot

My first instinct was to say that Yosemite would be too slow in the Winter, but then again, Bass Lake seems to be adequately used to remain onging as a timeshare. Groveland on 120 West of the Park seems like a prime location, we stayed in a motel there the first time we visited the Park. I have no idea how treacherous 120 gets in the Winter. Oakhurst might even make a better location. Straight shot from Fresno and almost hugging the park gate. Already loaded with motels and touristy stuff.

Grand Canyon is a tough one. You can cut back or even close a hotel seasonally, but I think Timeshare relies on sales of 50 intervals per unit to make it work for the developer after paying off the weasels. With all 50 weeks vying for 8 months not of prime time, but of usability of the resort in any way, there would be a lot of angry customers. Also, would you want to spend a whole week at the Grand Canyon? On top of the severely lopsided seasonality, you would have the points users all vying for weekend stays.

I still love Wyndham Flagstaff as the home base for GC. bout an hour and a half drive.

The USA is big .. just get out the map of the owners directory .. and I suggest a few MORE big city locales (highlighting the ones with walkable center cities and some history) - Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore...

2-3 seasons out in the boomdocks? .. remember, you have to be open 52 weeks PLUS have staff "to man the ship" and places to eat besides Subway and McD's.
 
Finger Lakes New York Wine Country Watkins Glen
Baltimore or Annapolis MD
Ocean City
Virginia Beach
Cape Cod
more outside the US ie Caribbean, Mexico, Europe
 
I wish Wyndham would have bought the gold key resorts in VB instead of DRI

I would personally say "Better." If you love Caribbean variety, or 5 star resorts, you might think it's "Good". If you like resale entry cost and MF versus maximum location options, you might thing it's "Best." IF you bought retail and never bothered to learn how to use it, you might be very angry.
 
Perceived. Who is your Wyndham customer and how they perceive it. Do they want price quality? If they call in and ask to get something more or less, THIS time

The suggestions I like most are the SW FL coast and Niagara Falls area. But no one has mentioned Virginia Beach. This one, for me, would put us a lot closer than W'msburg when we go up to visit family and friends.

I agree with VA beach, especially if it's on the boardwalk
 
Odd smoky mountains is about 500 as well how about on 77 at the Ohio river
