fran you seem to know a lot about this product. I am a owner of the grand luxxe villas and cannot for the life of me figure out how I can exchange this product for equivalent value on any exchange company such as Interval international. The only company in II would be marriot. But even marriott does not have the type of amentities that the luxxe is offering. it seems to me that we have to use mayan resorts exclusively or loose value else where. am I wrong saying this?

Hi bryceb andFran, I think you are right on! The facilities are going to be spacious and comfortable. II is an exchange company. No different than RCI. Our membership in the GL Residence Club offers more than anything I have seen in II. Around 2001 or 2002, the Four Seasons at Punta Mita was advertised as being an II facility. The relationship never materialized. I have never seen the Four Seasons offering, but we certainly are close. Where else would we go?

BTW, along that same thought, does anyone know what the II value proposition is? We were told that we can use the II weeks to exchange into GL and pay a lower fee than the MF we all pay to Vedanta. It seems that if that were the case, none of us would go through Vedanta. We would all go through II. Any comments on that?
