MARRIOTT GETTING BIGGER & BIGGER: August 18
Filed under: CONSUMER AFFAIRS — street @ 12:03 am
According to a list recently passed out by Marriott Vacation Club, you can expect some exciting new locations for resorts in the future (you guys really should be more careful about where you leave your stuff…).

Oh. You mean you want to know where they’ll be? Well, OK, I guess I can share.

Grand Bahama
Canary Islands
Florida Beach High Rise
Grande Lakes (Orlando,FL)
Puerto Rico
Waikiki
Cancun
Dubai
Kauai Lagoons
Puerto Vallarta
Seaside (Monterey, CA)
Tuscany (Italy)
MGM Las Vegas

New Grand Residence Club locations:

Kauai Lagoons
Keystone (CO)
GRC West
Grand Bahama Lots
Pretty impressive, yeah?
 
I have checked on that list. From my info, it would appear that the list is partly fact and partly some MCVI person's speculation, but it's not any kind of official internal MVCI list.

Based on my own knowledge and my checking on the veracity of the list, I can comment on some of the places:

For Grande Lakes (the Grand Vista Sequel, adjacent to the new JW Marriott), it appears that an announcement will likely be made soon. That and several other possible locations (including the now-under-construction Maui Sequel) were discussed in this thread a year ago.

Grand Bahama - Marriott owns land, but the project is stalled.

Cancun - Has been discussed often by Marriott, but - so far - it hasn't worked out

Florida Beach High Rise - Probably Marco Island

Kauai Lagoons - Likely, but nothing definite

Puerto Vallarta - This rumor has been around for at least the last six years, with no substantiation.

Tuscany (Italy) - Probably - eventually; not imminent and not definite

MGM Las Vegas - Huh? It would make no sense to build another one less than a mile from Grand Chateau, with GC still having years before it will be sold out. Perhaps way, way off in the future....

Although some of the others might make sense eventually, they appear to have come from someone's dreams.

The high rise down in FL might refer to Ocean Pointe 2 that has been rumored for some time. On our last trip to OP the GM said it was happening, but no timetable.
 
Possibly. I don't know.

But Marco Island is pretty definite. The word "probably" in my earlier post was an understatement.
 
I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Grand Lakes in February - what a great complex and location for a timeshare, with a JW there as well - you'd never need to leave it. The RC suite was first class facing the pools and golf - wonderful.

Then again, it's Orlando.

Kauai Lagoons?

I've been to Kauai but I'm not clear on the location of Kauai Lagoons. Is that a particular part of the island? Where would this be located?
Thanks!
 
[QUOTE=Dave M]Checking a bit further, you are correct. Ocean Pointe Sequel is a definite.[/QUOTE]

Dave,

Is this the "proposed TS" at the Ocean Mall?
 
As a Southern California owner I am going to cry :bawl: -- we need more out here like in Santa Barbara or San Francisco (non-grand residence type).
 
When we were at Kauai Beach Club in July the GM talked about the Kauai Lagoons, even had a drawing of where it would be in relationship to the whole development around the golf course. It sounded like they wll be very upscale and not very many units. The plan is for the Kauai Lagoons area to be high end and to have at least one hotel in addition to two timeshares. The canels will be reopened and if it goes as planned there will be single family dwellings for sale as well.

Grande Lakes is a great resort. One of our favorites. We prefer the JW when we have he kids, and the Ritz Concierge floor when just me and the Mrs.

It will be interesting what they do with the ts. I can't imagine just a mini Grande Vista going in there.
 
Cathyb I agree with you. How about San Diego, Ventura, Pismo Beach, San Fran., Big Bear. However I also think a New York Manhatten location should be on the list. Forget Orlando, yuck and already over built. Why is it that to Marriott if 1 is good 5 to 7 is even better. I have no complaints regarding any island in Hawaii, St. Thomas, St.kitts but let's see a Mexico and Bahamas. A hotel conversion or part hotel part timeshare is ok by me, with all the hotels they have why don't they just convert a couple top floors for timeshare? Then we would really be going places:D

A great idea. I envision daily maid service, room service, etc.

i believe the number of people going into Orlando (50,000,000) a year might be a part of the reason for yet another ts.... just like mosquitos, Marriott likes new blood.

Part of the problem with putting the ts into the hotel is that MI does not own many of the hotels.

Manhattan is just too expensive for a run of the mill mvci property. Maybe they could put an add on to the asian points program, as a few of those are propesed for urban environments. (I know.... land in Hawaii is expensive, but most of the properties they are developing have been held by the owners of the hotels or are part of a grander plan that utilizes Marriott's Brand to build credibility).
 
I don't know. However, I don't believe there is any historical trend suggesting that adding new Marriott timeshares in a location where Marriott already has timeshares has had any particular adverse impact on values.
 
Does anyone know 'where' the OP Sequel hi rise might go...maybe Marriott got the 'pink' building to sell? :)

nope. It will be about a mile further north. From what I was told, it will be accross the street from the beach, much like Blch Place Towers.

It is proposed as apart of a hotel complex.

Are you SURE about this?

This sounds like the old Ocean Mall location. I have heard that possibility has been disapproved.:confused:

I am so with you on that:D
 
I have received some additional info from a reliable source about Ocean Pointe Sequel. It turns out that Marriott is still negotiating for an exact location. There are at least two possible sites. Marriott apparently doesn't yet own the property on which it would be built.

Apparently, some info was given to some people (sales?) at OP earlier this year that the location was all set. So far, it isn't.

So how can it be definite that there will be a Sequel, if Marriott doesn't yet have a site? I guess the answer is that it's as definite as such a project can be when the site is still pending.

Very interesting. Thanks again Dave for your service as moderator.
