Re: sheraton vistana villages exchange power (by Hung P.):
saturation of resorts IS a factor. common sense. More resorts, more availability. People shopping to exchange or rent will have more choices in Orlando because of the number of resort options available. yes, your five factors are very important but to completely ignore the saturation of resorts in a destination would not be wise.
I am just speaking from experience of having this for six-plus years now. For example, there are much fewer resorts in Hawaii, and it is a very popular destination, so owning a week in Hawaii would have more power than owning a week in Orlando, because there are just many more places available. DESPITE the fact that Orlando is the top destination in the world. They rate Orlando No. 1 based on that, not trading power.
We have a week at the Vistana and have not been able to trade for anything desired. We went to Hawaii on a direct exchange, not RCI, through research and hard work online. Other than that, Las Vegas (12 miles out of town), Sedona, and Vacation Village in Orlando (not recommended) are the only places we have been able to get.
