We have owned a timeshare on Hawai'i island for 16 years. The problem I have had for some years now is that the properties seem to have mostly gone downhill. They are certainly NOT gold crown properties anymore (except Kings Land here on our island). We now live on the big island but occasionally use our points to go to Maui or Kauai. I just spent an hour looking at the current properties and their reviews. None of them seemed to be great properties and they all had a good number of bad reviews especially insects and noise. Wyndham it seems has let them all slide in spite of the yearly increase in RCI fees. We also went to New Zealand a year ago and while the 2 properties we stayed at were nice, they were again not gold crown properties. So the issue becomes do I just use Hilton properties ( our timeshare is a Hilto Grand Vacation Club property) which at least are of higher qualities or do I continue to pay for RCI inferior properties because they are worldwide.
