so this new (is this a new timeshare resort?)--- anyway, just got this package in the mail, not sure why I got the mail from Marriott Ko Olina resort, but I did.

I guess several 1000 people go this in their mail. Looks pretty damm sweet... very nice picture on the front of the foldout.

in it is says, with the nicely written desciption of the resort... you get 6 days, 5 nights at the Ko Olina beach club, with complimentary rental from hertz, and $50 bucks resort certificate. --- all for $698.

So this is one of the famous timeshare presentations.. right? It even says, you will get all this and more -- but you need to do a preview tour and timeshare presentation for 90 minutes.. blah blah blah
anyone done this at his marriott resort? I suppose is worth it? I mean, spend like 100 bucks a night and all you need to do is spend 90 minutes with a sales guy?

Is this a good deal or is this deal like ANY deal you can do at a timeshare resort? I can tell you... that picture of the Ko Olina Beach resort is pretty damn inviting. This timeshare resort looks like it has it all!

thanks!

Hi 38street,

That's a great deal and a beautiful location for the price, if you can resist the sales staff during the 90 minute presentation. Normally you would have to pay double that $698 for a ful week at Marriott's Ko'Olina Beach Club. Marriott definatley offers one of the best ownerships in the timeshare industry. Keep in mind that we have owners with Marriott selling these vacation properties at a much lower price than the resort (thousands of dollars less).

Thank you,

Rob D.

Hi Folks,

I am a Marriott Vacation Club owner. I own at Marriott's Aruba Surf Club and Marriott's Maui Ocean Club and my family and I love them both! Even though Marriott, as I mentioned in a previous post, treats their potential buyers with top notch amenities and class, the 90 minute sale presentation may turn into a much longer deal if you resist buying. So, my advice is to "stand your ground" and let them know you are aware of the fantastic savings offered on the secondary market and they may back-off a bit(it's worth a try). The salespeople at Marriott resorts are well trained, but not nearly as 'sleazy' as many other timeshare resort salespeople, so there is no need to fear the presentation. But, I cannot stress enough that the deals I see here are darn good and worth pursuing.

Feel welcome to ask me more-- I'm fairly well educated with regard to Marriott Vacation Club. Check them out at the link below.
