- Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Sheraton Flex Sheraton Vistana Villages - Bella EY
We're pondering an offer from Vistana.
We own:
Direct purchase (before we found y'all)
- WKORV EOY odd (1 Bed OV, 81K SOs)
- Sheraton Flex EOY even (81K HOs/SOs)
Resale (free + title fee)
- Sheraton Vistana Villages - Bella Annual (2 bed, Gold Plus, 67.5K SOs)
We still owe roughly $12K on the Flex purchase. We were offered to upgrade the EOY to Annual, plus re-qualifying the Bella week for what amounts to an additional purchase amount of $13K
Is it worth it for the additional 81K SOs EOY odd, plus re-qualifying the Bella?
We're considering this due to the Marriott take-over of ILG, and how they deal with resale ownership in their system, wondering if Bella would become a burden we can't get rid of. Re-qualifying would also give us 3* status - that and 3 bucks gets a cup of coffee, I know.
It also seems as if using Flex in II is far more advantageous than using week deposits. And finally, with Sheraton Kauai going into Flex, that raises that value considerably. (Our two most visited destinations are Orlando and Hawaii. We've pondered trying to get a WPORV resale, but the MFs are prohibitive there.)
Thoughts from the wisdom of TUG??
