During a conversation I had over the weekend with a rep from HRC Owner Services, I asked her which properties are the toughest to get into via internal trade using HRC points. She's been on the job for 14 years, so her thoughts carry some weight. Here are the toughest trades, in order (based on her experience):
- Siesta Key. A fantastic resort with a small supply of units, extremely popular with its owners, and rarely given up or traded.
- Ka'anapali Beach. The only Hyatt property in Hawaii, a beautiful property with great beach access, and with a supply that is about to be further limited pending the result of the vote on whether 33 units will be sold as Floating Weeks, making it even tougher for other HRC owners to trade in.
- Aspen. Another beautiful property with limited number of units and very high demand. Impossible to trade into during ski season, but better chances during the summer and fall months.
- Highlands Inn. One of only two California properties and the only one near the ocean on the West Coast. Beautiful property in high demand in one of the most desirable vacation destinations in America. Best chance to trade in is during late fall and winter.
- Northstar. The other California location, with very limited number of units. The workaround on this one is trade back through Interval to the Welk side of the property. Same units, same amenities, different ownership.
