Marrriott Beach Resort Marbella just announced that a week can now be split Fri/Sun and Mon/Thurs.
Is this common at other resorts ?

Within Marriott, yes, but I am not sure how often it is used. In high demand areas it will be difficult to use the 2nd half of the split at a later date unless going in off season.

Perhaps others have more insight?

I know that Marriott Fairway Villas & Newport Coast can also be split....I also think that the Florida resorts offer split weeks to the "Florida Club."

Seems Marriott is getting a little more flexible with split weeks, and that can only be a good thing!

I think is it common at many of the resorts but the reality of using it is not so easy - and if it is at a "fly to" location - certainly not popular

I did use it when I owner at Fairway Villas - we stayed Fri-Mon for MLK, Jr weekend in January and then a Monday-Friday stay the first week in April....but to be honest, that time of year u can stay using a getaway or accomodation cert thru II - your ownership is better used value wise by depositing it with II and exchanging into a better time of year.

At Marriott Fairway Villas, (during gold season) Newport Coast, and I believe Boston....You can use single nights, if you'd like. It's difficult to get during platinum season, tho, but you never know.....If you can get it, I could see how this would be a nice perk for Boston, especially.

I think drive-to resorts like NCV benefit the most with these split weeks, more so than those that require flight travel. I wonder how many people will actually use the Marbella split week.?.?

I wouldn't mind staying a few days at Marbella.....Lots to see in Spain, and staying a few days, and then moving on works for me.

I agree tho, drive to locations would most likely be more in demand.

Pat,

It appears you were a Fairway Villas Owner.... Anyway, I'm thinking about purchasing a MFV resale, platinum, deeded, floater for around $6k + closing. Before I make a decision, I'm trying to do a little DD on this property. We will probably use it eavery other year and exchange the other years. Any advice is certainly appreciated...

Tks.

Thanks for the quick reply... Asking price was $8k... I offered $6k and thought that was a good deal. I haven't signed any contracts yet...still pondering.

Hi - I own at MFV. $6K seems to be the going price as a friend recently purchased for that price.

I'm in the market for another week so I've been trolling ebay and did see a few Platinums go in the $3600 range during the depth of the economic crisis, but I was leary of purchasing from an unreputable Seller so I didn't bid.

MFV has no ROFR (not that Marriott is exercising it anyway), which is good to know if the Seller tries to get you to go higher.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
