I'd never heard of Spinnaker so asked google. Who sent me to their website. There they say at the top that there are 40 destinations. Then they list 12. Odd.... far from that 90 original listing.
I completely disagree. Been a Spinnaker owner 25 years. I own MULTIPLE JULY WEEKS at Bluewater. Deeded. Fixed weeks, fixed units. We use them, rent them, exchanged them for EUROPE. Kids LOVE IT AND SO DO THE GRANDS. Lowest annual dues in the industry by far. Immaculately kept resorts. And they exchange very well if you give Interval enough time. LAST MINUTE EXCHANGES DONT WORK. If you want to travel use INterval Getaways or Shortstays. DUH. But if you exchange, then do REQUEST FIRST and that way you get what you want before they grab your week. And they give you 2/1 automatically, your exchanged week plus a certificate for an add on and then you travel for two weeks for price of one. DONE IT. TWICE TO EUROPE.
Spinnaker Timeshares are also LESS EXPENSIVE THAN DISNEY MARRIOTT HILTON AND HYATT AND SHERATON AND MOST WYNDHAMS. If you have a week you dont like ask sales to see what can be done about moving it. OR CALL RESERVATIONS SUFFICIENTLY IN ADVANCE AND TELL YOU HAVE A MARCH WEEK AND WANT AN AUGUST WEEK AND WANT TO GO TO X RESORT because its a Spinnaker location there is NO FEE FOR THAT!. FIXED WEEKS ARENT CEMENT SHOES. THey are there for YOU to use guaranteed. BUT IF YOU DESIRE TO MOVE IT ONE YEAR TEMPORARILY? Reservations will help you. OR SIMPLY USE THE OWNERS BONUS WEEKS OFFSEASON TO COME, pay the annual dues and you have another CHEAP vacation week.
I have discussed this in the pool for 25 years with disgruntled owners. EVERY TIME its people who DONT UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, DONT USE IT PROPERLY or DONT ASK SALES TO GET A BETTER WEEK OR LOCATION. We have 3 fixed weeks and ONE floater (we use for overflow when we have more than 8 people coming) and/or rent it out.
Timeshare is a commitment. Dont buy one if you dont want to commit. Fine. But like the resort? They have a week that interests you? Buy it. HOLD IT. USE IT. GIVE TO YOUR KIDS AS INHERITANCE. Want variety? Use Spinnaker internal exchanges for FREE, or use BONUS weeks for nominal costs, or use Interval for exchanges, Getaways or ShortStay Vacations. Whats not to like?
And I have asked Spinnaker to RENT MY WEEK when we cant come. They get it rented and I get a check in the mail. Sure they get a hefty fee, but its not sitting empty. It pays for the dues. DUH.
we have MANY friends we know for many years we love seeing every summer. We know the staff like Family. Its well run, well managed, impeccably maintained and low dues. And its Hilton Head for gosh sakes.
