If your idea of vacationing, is staying at the resort the whole vacation, then IMHO the Bay Club isn't the place for you.
BUT if your idea of vacationing, is to have a comfortable unit and a nice resort on the Big Island of Hawaii, the the Bay Club is a great place to own/stay.
My DW has us on the go for most of our vacations, and our last visit to the area ( we stayed at the HGVC-Waikoloa) we were busy most of the time. Therefore we found the TSs in Waikoloa to fit our needs wonderfully.
I think the issue is- there is nothing wrong with a person having the best of both worlds-
If good money is going to be spent on a timeshare , the buyer has every right to expect the best out of the unit
If they want "dated but comfortable" there are a lot of condo rentals available
I myself use the Bay Club to add three or four days to my Waikoloa vacation-
the good thing with the Bay Club is there are almost always units available.So the Bay Club does serve its purpose.
Bu it is important that a new bay Club buyer know that the unit itself is dated and a step =-down, when compared to HGVC Waik and Kingsland. It is also equally important to be aware that a Bay Club buyer is not entitled to some HGVC benefits as it is an affiliate.
Of course the good part is it is fairly inexpensive.
