The Wyndham Fairshare Plus program was formerly known as the Fairfield Fairshare Plus Program. It offers member/owners a multi-destination reservation system and allows them to use their timeshare points like dollars at participating Wyndham resorts. While you can use either Wyndham Points or Wyndham Fairshare Plus points the same way to book a week at a specific resort, Fairshare Plus timeshare points owners also have access to additional Wyndham-branded resorts that aren’t available to vacationers using Wyndham Points. With Fairshare Plus, you can select your destination, date, length of stay, and the size of your condo or timeshare unit.

The flexibility of Wyndham Fairshare Plus points makes them one of the most popular ways to own timeshare. SellMyTimeshareNOW.com offers opportunities in Wyndham Fairshare Plus timeshare rentals and timeshare resales to help you start enjoying vacations at Wyndham’s worldwide network of beautiful destinations.

I wish I could give you more background on this news item, but for now, we will rely on StreetTalk Blog as our primary source. According to a posting last week on their site, Shell Vacations Club timeshare has entered into a letter of intent with Coco Palms Venture II, Inc, the current owners of Kauai’s historic Coco Palms hotel.

The Coco Palms is a Hawaiian resort classic whose fame was enhanced when Elvis Presley filmed the finale of Blue Hawaii there in 1961. Almost all of the last 20 minutes of the film is shot on or near The Coco Palms.

In 1992, Hurricane Iniki did extensive damage to the island of Kauai and threw the local economy into a downward spiral. As the islanders rebuilt, virtually every resort was restored except perhaps its most famous, The Coco Palms.

Without repairs, the beautiful resort has sat unused for nearly 20 years, with only the wedding chapel remaining operational. If Shell Vacations Club timeshare is successful in its efforts to buy and restore the resort, it will be a wonderful benefit to the people of the island and the local economy.

Earlier this year, Hawaii State Senator Gary Hooser explored the idea of a joint venture project – perhaps a public-private effort – to build a park on the property. Whether Shell Vacations intends to be part of this effort, or if there is still any interest in such a park, is not known. Coco Palms Venture II has only owned the resort since 2006, when they purchased it in hopes of building a full service spa there, an idea that never received the approval it needed to move forward. Last year, the company put the property on the market for sale.

The citizens and the legislators of Hawaii are forever walking a tightrope, trying to balance the development necessary to maintain and grow their economy with their responsibility to protect their cultural heritage and beautiful environment.

And on that note, be sure you take a look at this clip from Blue Hawaii, and listen as Elvis sings the Hawaiian Wedding song.

I just wanted to take a few minutes and address some feedback that has reached me regarding the way we portray information about our company.

SellMyTimeshareNOW.com regularly issues media releases and reports to the press on happenings in our timeshare advertising and marketing company. Occasionally, we also comment on events in the timeshare and vacation industries in general.

Because our business is built on policies of transparency and disclosure, we voluntarily publish quarterly synopsizes of our business trends, even though we are a privately held company and as such, we are not required to release an audited annual report to stockholders. Our research is prepared internally, and while we take extreme measures to validate its accuracy, we recognize that to some, it does not carry the same weight as data prepared by an outside source.

When SellMyTimeshareNOW.com tells you that the timeshare resales industry is booming, we do so because our numbers show an average of over $1 million per day in offers placed through our website from people looking to buy or rent timeshare. When we quote the statistics prepared by timeshare associations, other researchers, or other sources within the industry, we try to accurately cite our sources and credit them with their research. But when we quote an outside source, either here on The Timeshare Authority blog, in a press release, article, or any other media outlet, we never mean to imply that the source endorses our findings, our opinions, or our business disclosures. SellMyTimeshareNOW.com is a proud member of ARDA, CRDA, CARE and the BBB. We take our role seriously to portray the timeshare industry in a constructive, truthful and positive light. This is in our best interest as well as that of the industry in general.
