-------- Sunterra has various plans, one of which is a points system called Sun Options. This provides some more flexibility above and beyond other exchange companies. Be advised that if you buy resale from a private party you will probably not be part of the points system and will have to pay a few thousand more $$$ to join the points system. There is a group of 15-16 Sunterra resorts that are part of a Trust. I believe if you bought one of these resorts from a private party, you'd be able to use exchange into any of the other resorts in the group without going through RCI, II, etc. If you decide to buy from a developer to get into the Sun Options system, you WILL pay top dollar. Make sure you buy “enough points” to cater to your travel demands. In the latest Sun Options guide Royal Dunes lists 3 bedroom units with point values ranging from 4,000 (low season) to 11,000 (peak season). Many sales people will entice you into buying a smaller cheaper "package", but then you find out your exchange options are limited. Good Luck.
