Interesting; thanks. Apparently, "Club Associate Resort" means that (much like at Tropical Sands) BlueGreen apparently owns some weeks there, even though BlueGreen had nothing to do with developing the property previously, nor does BlueGreen have anything to do with its' management today.

I believe that in the nineties, RDI bought the unsold weeks at those Florida gulf coast resorts and sold them as vacation club. In 1998 RDI was bought by Bluegreen, and took in those weeks too. A woman who was manager at Christmas mountain moved up to be in charge of the bluegreen weeks in gulf coast resorts in Bradenton and fort Myers area.

A Club Associate Resort means that Corporate Bleegreen had a different initial or current agreement with the resort. A Club Associate resort may, or may not, be managed by Bluegreen. Gulfstream Manor is managed by Bluegreen and is an Associate Resort. At last count, there was 177 unit weeks at Tropical Sands in the Bluegreen Vacation Club but only 23 unit weeks at Windward Passage. As rapmarks pointed out, when Bluegreen acquired RDI, they also acquired management of the RDI Vacation Club and renamed it.
