Harborside is a Starwood property and the Starwood posts are on the Hotel Based TS board on TUG (below). There is lots of info. there about buying and exchanging Starwood and lots of Starwood owners.Also, read this TUG article: http://www.tug2.net/advice/Starwood_Vacation_Network.htm ------------------ Denise IP: Logged |

You'd be doing a good thing if you buy a timshare because you (and your family) love the resort. BUT.... You'd be doing a BAD thing if you buy a timeshare because of investment purposes. Just my opinion... Jerry IP: Logged |
