i need another timeshare like I need a hole in the head. But. I made an offer on an EOY even 1BR platinum week 18 at Highlands Inn over the weekend.
Offer was accepted, we got our contract Mon, returned it Tues, and Hyatt passed on exercising it’s ROFR yesterday. Incredibly fast! So hopefully we close by the end of June and Hyatt enters into the system in July.
We wanted a good unit, ours is 437 which is labeled horizon view but per the front desk has a good ocean view. It’s an ADA Unit, which for us is both good and bad. We travel to Carmel for the purpose of cycling and usually have bikes and associated gear. No steps into the unit is a real plus. But the counters are lower and I actually cook in Timeshares, so that could be a PIA. We’ll see.
It’s a Sunday check in, works well for us because I normally am off Fri, Sat, Sun. The split week’s weekend with a Sunday checkin is Thurs-Fri-Sat, so we can get a nice stay with just 1 vacation day, if we split the week. OR if we use the whole week, we can tack a two day stay on somewhere for Fri and Sat- Paso Robles, Cambria, Santa Cruz, San Francisco all work well.
We also own a Gold week 22 at High Sierra. Not sure what our usage will be next year, we were planning on New Years AirBnB in Scottsdale, Mar Carmel (club trade, 4 nights combined with a hotel stay), June Bend OR (private TUG trade), Labor Day Sun Valley for a bike race then Park City with our Marriott ownership, Thanksgiving Sedona (club trade).
I’m thinking we will try for Maui, since we’ll have the points. If we use our owned split week weekend, we’ll have enough points left for any size unit in Maui. If we get a match in Maui, the size unit we match into will then dictate what we do with Sedona. We can probably trade in with a non Hyatt over Thanksgiving, we’ve done it before.
We’re mostly interested in Carmel, Tahoe and Sedona. They are drive-to locations for us and the cycling is great. Maybe Aspen and Breck summer at some point, for the mountain biking. And occasionally Maui. There’s always the challenge of riding up Haleakala!
Anyway, happy with the purchase. We were looking at Pinon Point and Highlands Inn. Pinon Pointe is tricky if you want a prime unit.
