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,

Thank you for the info. I have read the article that Chris Nettleton wrote on WVO.

You mentioned a section in tug where you can ask questions to SVO Owners. Please advise where i can find that.

Many thank!

My Childrent 7 & 19 just love it there! We are going back in the summer 2006 but if i can buy a timeshare there i think it would be an investment....they want to go every year.....

A tug member email me this info, if this true?? No Access to Atlantis??


I WOULD NOT BUY FROM DEVELOPER, YOU WILL BE PAYING MORE THAN
$47,000...UP $125,000..... AND NO ACCESS TO ATLANTIS..PLUS PHASE ONE IS
A LOT BETTER TO STAY IN...AWESOME VIEWS THAN PHASE TWO

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...
