Re: Trading Monte Cristo for other fractionals (by David and Marlene M.):
Hi Jim, I have tried trading several times with no luck. I registered 9 months in advance for a North Star in Tahoe around Christmas and a unit was never turned in. I search for something in Italy 2 weeks before Christmas on short notice but nothing available.
Success--My husband and I had "valley fever" and wanted to get out of town. I checked portfolio availability at Registry Collection and found 1 week in Kelowna British Columbia at the time I wanted and signed up for it. I would never have thought about going there on my own but the week fit our plans so we are off in mid Sept. I can email you about how our stay was after our return.
We have used our PB Sunset Beach on an RCI exchange for a week in Wisconsin at the Resort at Grand Geneva--granted this was February and who wants to vacation in Wisconsin in Feb but we were visiting family so it worked for us.
The one thing I notice about the resorts that you trade for is the level at MC or SB is far higher---daily maid service and room clean up. We are not very messy so its not like we need it but the staff service at PB resort is much higher. The others were fine but nothing special. MC and SB is special at least on our trips there since 2000.
Best Regards, Marlene
