FWIW decided not to buy a travel package and will use the points for hotel gap stays next year e.g. 4 nights at Ritz Kapalua or SPG award stay. Even though expensive points-wise, we would never pay cash to stay there. This gives us almost a year to decide if this is worth it or we can apply the points elsewhere. We have plenty of air miles via Chase that can be converted to UAL or Hyatt plus 200k SWA miles so not itching for more.
We had a 7 night travel package before and had much difficulty finding domestic hotels where we wanted to stay for 7 nights. Finally opted to stay 6 nights (didn't use last night) at Marriott Park City cat 8. Nice place but still a hotel. Much prefer timeshares with more space, kitchens, fireplaces and thicker walls.
If we had plans to travel internationally we might have opted for a package. My DH is out of vacation time so if we travel internationally his company will pay for hotel since he is on business and I will tag along because I can work from anywhere.
