Yesterday’s The Timeshare Authority blog profiled two HOT 100 properties in the same post, and today we are doing it again… only this time, we are looking at two sections of the same resort, collectively ranking number 41 on Sell My Timeshare NOW’s hot property list.

Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas I and Villas II is a Palm Desert, California timeshare classic, offering amazing weather, some of the best golf in the world, and a quintessential atmosphere of relaxation and living the good life.

The original JW Marriott Desert Springs resort set the standard for luxury hotels, spas, and golf resorts in the beautiful Palm Desert area. Recently renovated, it has reclaimed its place as a favorite destination for locals and tourists to enjoy restaurant dining, clubs, and an elegant but laidback southern California lifestyle.

While the spa and the fabulous golf are the top draws, other area attractions to enjoy while vacationing at this California timeshare resort include The Living Desert, a remarkable protected ecosystem; plays and performances at The McCallum Theatre; and family fun exploring the Palm Springs Air Museum and the Children’s Discovery Museum.

Accommodations at Marriott Timeshare’s Desert Springs Villas I and Villas II

Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas I provides its guest a choice of one or two-bedroom timeshare condos, access to the JW Marriott spa (some restrictions apply), full kitchens, separate living areas, access to the resort’s pools, and private balconies or patios. Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas II offers the same type of luxurious one and two-bedroom timeshares, minus pool access, and the spa is available only as an add-on fee.

Whether you enjoy your vacation at a Marriott Desert Springs Villa timeshare rental or you choose a lifetime of great vacations with a Marriott Desert Springs Villa timeshare resale, you will love the resort’s Mediterranean-style architecture, and the convenience of the El Picante Grill, and the MarketPlace, which is located next
to the Clubhouse.

Great Destination for a Timeshare Golf Vacation

Although southern California is loaded with championship quality golf courses, two outstanding places to play are the 36 holes at the Marriott Desert Springs Golf Course and the 27 holes at Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Country Club.

On the courses at both resorts you can enjoy the beauty of the Santa Rosa Mountains as a backdrop, but expect water – and plenty of it – because both the Marriott Desert Springs Golf Course and the Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Country Club were designed by Ted Robinson, “King of Waterscapes.”

The Sell My Timeshare NOW HOT 100 timeshare list includes two Las Vegas timeshares, back to back. HOT 100 list timeshare number 43 is the Hilton Grand Vacations Club timeshare resort at the Flamingo Resort, while number 42 is the Hilton Grand Vacation Club timeshare on the Las Vegas Strip.

Both of these Hilton timeshare resorts put you in the heart of Las Vegas glitz and glitter, surrounded by the clubs, gaming, entertainment, dining, and excitement that make a Vegas vacation so much fun. And in different ways, each of these two Hilton timeshares offers you a way to be convenient to the Strip, but to also enjoy a restful retreat.

The Hilton Grand Vacation Club timeshare at the Flamingo is located on the grounds of the famous Flamingo Hotel, at the famous intersection where Bally’s, Paris, Caesars, and the Bellagio meet. The resort grounds are spacious and include rushing waterfalls, lush tropical gardens, and a sparkling swimming complex.

The Hilton Grand Vacation Club timeshare on the Strip is located at the north end of the strip providing timeshare owners and timeshare renters with 10 tranquil acres of resort property, perfect for enjoying the resort’s fitness center, interactive fountains, heated swimming pools, and whirlpool spas. Both properties offer spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom timeshare units, complete with a kitchen, whirlpool tubs, TVs and DVDs, and a washer and dryer. Comfortable, spacious, and the Hilton timeshare name you trust when it comes to ensuring memorable vacation destinations with excellent accommodations.

Following the same path of Wyndham Vacation Ownership timeshare and Westgate Resorts timeshares, Marriott Vacation Club has laid off (or is in the process of letting go) just over 170 workers.

The pink slips started showing up just before Christmas at the Orlando timeshare call center, marking the second recent round of employee layoffs at Marriott timeshare. In November, approximately 80 timeshare employees were let go by the company, which claims it is being hurt by the credit crunch less than other timeshare companies have been. At that time, The Orlando Business Journal reported that Marriott timeshares anticipates rehiring as many as 31 positions during the process of closing one timeshare sales operation (the Horizons project) and expanding at another location.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that Ed Kinney, Marriott’s vice president of corporate affairs, said that because Marriott does much of its own financing, they were not being squeezed as tightly by the tight international credit market and slowed consumer spending as are some timeshare developers.

Kinney says the current round of layoffs should be complete in January. Other timeshare companies cutting back and laying off in Orlando and elsewhere include: Wyndham Vacation Club, Westgate Resorts timeshare, and Bluegreen Resorts.
