Best Timeshares in Phoenix area

[btejada Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close btejada]

We have a couple of deposits in RCI that need to be used up this year, and I was thinking of going somewhere in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I'd like to hear recommendations from folks here for places that trade pretty easily in RCI but aren't complete dumps(at least one of my deposits from Fairfield is a low point week, so not sure how well it trades). Thanks in advance!

I can recommend Sheraton Desert Oasis, Vacation Condos at Tapatio and the Westin Kierland (don't think though it trades thru RCI).

Other good ones, Sunterra Scottsdale Villa Mirage and Scottsdale Camelback.

If you are talking points trades, I am afraid I don't know how they trade in points.

Depending on the time of year you are requesting, availability is variable.

Have you thought of Sedona....there are quite a few in Sedona that come up frequently for trades.

Sedona is usually an easy trade and a multitude of outdoor activities.

Thanks for the recommendations! We've actually been to Sedona several times and even had our wedding there. We always love to go back, but my husband has an increasing amount of business in the Phoenix metro area, and I have a hankerin' to go see the Heard Museum, so was looking specifically for resorts in the valley. I know there's lots - just trying to separate the nice ones from the junk

Glad to see the Westin Kierland in your recommendations. We've confirmed and exchange for Jan. of 2008 for that resort. Wish it would have been this year as I'm tired of this cold weather we've been having.

Scottsdale villa mirage

We've stayed in the Scottsdale Villa Mirage. We thought it was great. Great pool area. Wonderful location in the midst of Scottsdale so shopping and eating are all 5-10 minutes away.
Good luck.

You will really enjoy the Westin....the units are very comfy, and the grounds are so nice. There is a great restaurant at the hotel section, and a wonderful spa. If you go to the restaurant, and if you like lamb, order the lamb rack....ooooo la la! Actually, this Jan, Scottsdale suffered some of the coldest weather it has seen in years during Jan....but hopefully, it was a one time thing....mind you, to us, 50 to 60 during the day is cold.

This is so true...SVM has a great location, as do Westin and SDO. The shops are very close, some fantastic restaurants, and quite a few local attractions are within a short drive. We always enjoy our time at SVM. The pool is terrific, the units have good space, with sensible layouts. Can't go wrong, for sure.
