I asked a current resale owner if the 60 day restriction was being enforced for Elara. I was told that it wasn't. Perhaps because Westgate isn't in control the same way it is in other resorts perhaps for other reasons. Never the less, that provision is specifically in the offering statement for Elara, Park City, and possibly Smokey Mountains and Myrtle Beach. My understanding is the most certainly do restrict float week resale owners at Park City.
It isn't some big conspiracy. It happens. The fact that it is in the offering statement for Elara means it is more likely to happen there than at other Westgate properties.
I have been tempted by resales at Myrtle Beach, Park City, and Elara. The deals never work out be it through ROFR or other factors. No matter how much I am tempted part of me is relieved when the deal doesn't go through. Westgate is not a company I would want to do business with despite the nice properties. When you ask Westgate they will not give you a straight answer because they won't talk to non owners. They won't tell the current owner specifics about resale restrictions because they don't apply to the current owners contract as is as the current owner is not a resale owner.
