Vistana Plus Cancellation - SVN Option Good or Bad Deal (by Shirley R.):
We are Starwood owners at Harborside, Bahamas and we love the options available to us. However, Starpoints is the worst way to use your options if you are looking for an equal resort/hotel exchange. The Starwood affiliated hotels are now requiring more points than ever for a nights stay. We have converted options to points once so we could get several rooms for 3 nights at the Westin Las Vegas to put friends and family up to celebrate my big 5-0 and will do it again to island hop in Hawaii, but again, it's not the best way to use your options. We have a 2 bedroom lock-off and that gives us many, many options. In my opinion, you'd be fine buying into Starwood.
