Marriott's Maui Ocean Club vs Marriott's Ocean Pointe (by Simon D.):
Guys,
I'm new to timeshare and I need your advice. My friend has 2 timeshares: Marriott's Maui Ocean Club 1bdrm w/ Lockout in Platinum yearly usage and then Marriott's Ocean Pointe 2 Bdrm w/ Lockout in Gold yearly usage. He is asking $10k for the Maui with about $1,200 in Maintenance and $7K for the on in Florida w/ about 1,000 in Maintenance. It is just my wife and I and we do not think that we will visit the Home Resort more than once ever. Therefore, we are interested in the Exchange power of the timeshare that we choose in order to visit different place. My question is which one should we choose and is it worthy to pay extra for the Marriott brand? I have tried to research online (before posting here) about the probable Exchange power, but got only conflicting opinions. Please help since I am confused. Thanks,
Simon
