Owner of DP purchased last year in St. Thomas before I found TUG, UGH! Stayed last month at Marriott Aruba Ocean Club, again before reading about Hell week, but still had a great time. Went to another presentation and was offered a Platinum week @ Surf Club for $40K that can be converted to 4075 DP points. Wife is a beach person and really enjoys Aruba and prefers an Ocean View which is what was offered. My question is what if we were to purchase an OV Platinum week at the Surf Club resale, what is a reasonable price to expect and what are the closing costs? I see weeks on Redweek between $15K-$40K for Platinum and higher for PP weeks. I've inquired on a few and been told my closing costs including Marriott fees would only be $500! That seems low to me. Also, I was looking at a "deeded" week but also reading this group I'm seeing that Aruba is only RTU. A broker told me that the RTU will automatically be renewed in 2061 unless the government pays the developer FMV and that purchase would be split amount the owners. TIA for all advice.
