Re: Starwood Vacation Ownership (by Pamela J.):

Hi, We bought an Explorer Package in 2005,from Harborside and stayed at the Harborside Resort at Atlantis. The next year we purchased a 1 bedroom deluxe unit there. They applied the money that we used to purchase the Explorer Package on the balance due. We traded it for Starwood points the next year, and used points for the Sheraton Lucaya in Freeport just this past February. We love Harborside, and plan to use it each year from now on. We own in Silver season, which is my husband's birthday. No timeshare should be thought of as an investment, but we think that we are getting our money's worth from this purchase.
