HSI info

[robgel]

Just got back from a week in Puerto Vallarta ... great week!!! Sat through a TS presentation. They told us about HSI exchange company and said it has more resorts than RCI and II combined ... but I never heard of it before. Any info from anyone on HSI? Good? Bad? Ugly? Thanks for any info.

Unimpessive. There may be still be recent a discussion on the old BBs.

Website # 1: Check 'requested membership fee at end:

#2 Check resale weeks and price against anywhere that really want to sell a T/S:

#3 The "Dream Maker" div of HSI. I do not believe this is an exchange company.:

I think you could do about as well (esp if they want $30,000 for a "MEMBERSHIP" looking up some nice T/S places without even owning a T/S at IIs www.condodirect.com Or any of the RCI sites open to the public.

Tony- I could not find the discussion there was on RSI in the old BBS, if I do, I will post for the OP

There was a post a couple of months back on HSI. I am a member, not one of the smarter things I did. They are an exchange company with a decent supply of resorts ( mostly 4*) in their inventory. They by no means have more selection than II and RCI put together. If you buy their membership (which isnt cheap or worth the money) then you can rent their weeks for about the same as a maintenance fee would be. I have rented Club deSolei in Vegas for $200.00 for a 2 bedroom. I have compared their cruise prices and they are comparable with other packages and discounts. Since I already paid the $1700 for the membership (sad face) then I will keep it. It could come in handy when I retire. But..... you could do just as well with RCI/II on their getaways.

Thank you for this advice. We heard about HSI at the Sheraton Buganvilias in PV and I thought it sounded good, as well. I appreciate your post.

Their for sale "Bargin postings" as shown below are in most cases about 10 to 100 times higher than the true resale market really is and note the resort advertised should be updated.
IMHO.
