Vacation Club

While it is not official as far as we can tell, MyrtleBeachOnline is reporting that the Crystal Blue Investment Group is working with Hilton Grand Vacations Club on a proposed new  Hilton timeshare. Whether the  resort will be purpose-built as a new Myrtle Beach timeshare or is planned for a mixed use resort is unclear.

The real estate under discussion is currently occupied by two Beach Villa apartment towers and is oceanfront on stretch of Myrtle Beach between Schooner II Beach and Racquet Club and Boardwalk Hotel on North Ocean Boulevard. Estimated cost of the project is nearly $42 million and includes improvements the developer would be required to make for the benefit of the city.

Although growth in Myrtle Beach has been slow since 2009 with no new resorts built during this time, the area remains a popular beach vacation destination. Mark Kruea, a spokesperson for the city says they are seeing a return of confidence in the economy and are benefiting from tourism advertising being done by the community. Sonship Hospitality announced earlier this year its plans to develop a 14-story Homewood Suites Oceanfront Resort & Conference Center  in Myrtle Beach and a 150-room Residence Inn-SpringHill Suites Oceanfront Resort.

If the Hilton Grand Vacations Club project information becomes a reality, it will add a second Hilton timeshare to the area, joining the luxurious Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Anderson Ocean Club and possibly increasing interest in the great deals already available on Hilton timeshare resales in Myrtle Beach.

With more than 416,000 Marriott Vacation Club owners worldwide, and a 25-year history of timeshare vacation excellence, it’s no surprise that Marriott timeshares dominated the Top Ten resales list on the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index. As a vacation owner or prospective timeshare resale buyer or renter, if you are looking for a timeshare destination that other vacationing couples and families love, or already know you want to be part of the Marriott Vacation Club then you no doubt are interested in which Marriott timeshares are the most popular.

• Marriott’s Aruba Surf Club was the number one most popular timeshare resale this past year, based on offers to buy or rent made through our company. Located in Palm Beach, Aruba, this beachside resort offers guests access to the amenities at the neighboring Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino and the Mandara Spa. Whether you go for the Las Vegas-style entertainment, the world-class diving and snorkeling, or to relax and enjoy the sugary-white sands and ocean breezes, this Marriott timeshare tops all others for resale and rental demand through our website.
• Marriott’s Newport Coat Villas in Newport Coast, California, ranked as most in-demand timeshare resale or rental #3 on this year’s Timeshare Demand Index. A Tuscan-themed resort, this beautiful timeshare sets on a bluff with Pacific Ocean views. With the Pelican Hill Golf Club to the north and Crystal Cove State Park to the south, this resort is surrounded by green spaces and serene vistas. And there’s also an adjacent spa, the charms of the Newport coastal area, and great dining, shopping, and all the elegance of the Newport Coast community.
• Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club in Oahu and Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club in Maui round out the top ten, ranking numbers 4 and 10 respectively.  The Ko Olina Beach Club is an oasis of waterfalls and fountains, located on Oahu’s western shore. The Maui Ocean Club is a tropical hideaway tucked between turquoise waters and a lush rain forest. Each offers amenities galore, a Hawaii vacation experience, and amazing golf. The championship courses of the Royal Kaanapali Golf Course and the The Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort are convenient to play on your Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club holiday, while Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club offers numerous courses in the area to play including the Kapolei Golf Club.

Last week Wyndham Vacation Ownership (Wyndham timeshare) announced it was updating its sales practices with the use of an iPad platform. By equipping all of its sales associates with a timeshare sales “tool center,” the Apple iPads become dedicated sales tools for the Wyndham timeshare sales team.

Utilizing some 3,000 iPads, Wyndham Vacation Ownership timeshare sales associates can now serve prospective timeshare owners with real-time data and information that is accurate and consistent no matter where the Wyndham team member is based. Not only will the iPads upgrade the timeshare sales process at Wyndham timeshare, but their use also reduces the company’s environmental footprint.

Jeff Myers, chief sales and marketing officer for Wyndham Vacation Ownership explains, “I’m proud to be part of a company that continues to raise the bar by consistently emphasizing the importance of innovation. We are always looking for what we can do to be better because a company standing still is falling behind.”
