Just imagine your next time share resort resale experience as the following; the sun setting over coastal marshes where mainland Georgia dissolves into muck, spartina grass and saltwater, then re-forms as barrier islands. The tide is out, and below the Jekyll Island Club Wharf the water has receded… A shrimp boat motors past, bulging nets hanging from its arms. Birds swarm around it; circling the masts…this is the scene off of Cumberland Island, Georgia; and yes, a very different vacation experience than what we might think of for Florida; but non-the-less, just as gratifying, relaxing and enjoyable. 

Georgia’s barrier islands are nothing like those some are accustomed to having experienced time share resort resale vacations in South Florida. They are low-key, void of high-rises and freeways and separated from the mainland by ecologically rich marshlands and wildlife refuges.  The sea is simultaneously friend and foe, depositing sand to form delicate dunes in one spot while viciously eating away the land in other spots; each island is unique and memorable offering its own style of vacation experiences.  There are luxury resorts, inns and bead and breakfasts marine research stations, protected Indian shell mounds, wild horses, fishing piers that double as social venues and old forts that have been turned into parks.  Some of the islands along Georgia’s 150-mile coastline are wildlife sanctuaries or research stations not open to the public and others are private.  For the next trip you are planning, consider a vacation time share rental at one of Georgia’s luxury resorts on one of the many barrier islands.

Located on approximately 200 acres of the property, nurtured by the El Yunque and blanketed by warm ocean breezes and bright sunshine, Trump International Puerto Rico’s two courses are an integral part of a complete tropical destination.  Playing golf at the Tom Kite-designed Trump International Golf Club Puerto Rico is like the island experience in a microcosm; thanks to two courses differentiated by four distinct nine-hole routings; The Lakes, Palms, Mountain and Ocean nines, were combined to form various combinations of 18 holes.

In 2005, a move was made by Sydney Wolf, president of the Puerto Rico Golf Association, to lure the PGA Tour back to the island. As a result, Kite redesigned the courses in 2007 to be defined as two distinct 18-hole tracks, while the Trump branding replaced the original name.

The Lakes and Ocean nines have been combined to form the Championship Course, chosen by the PGA Tour as the site for the 2008-2010 Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular; while the Mountains and Palms nines have been brought together as the International Course.

Trump International Puerto Rico, set some 30 minutes east of the capitol city of San Juan in Rio Grande, originated in 2004 as the Coco Beach Golf & Country Club.  The courses’ unique design is distinguished by the use of a punta extending into the Atlantic Ocean as the course’s backbone.  Trump International was the first design project for Kite outside the mainland United States.  The world-class designer routed the courses around protected wetlands, through the jungle, over foothills of the ever-present El Yunque rain forest and along the beach.

“Quite honestly, I am pleased with the golf courses and how the two have come together,” Kite said. “The four nines each have their own personality, but pairing them as we have doesn’t seem forced. They are all fun to play and, most of all, they are fair but challenging”.  

Nearby Resort:  Gran Meliá Golf Resort Puerto Rico – Set within Coco Beach Resort in Río Grande, home of the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open, the resort’s luxury accommodations span six villas, including a two-bedroom Presidential Villa, and 480 suites in 20 two-story bungalows.

The Hyatt Regency Newport Hotel and Spa has undergone $35 million worth of renovations to maximize the seaside property’s fantastic views. The updated rooms mirror the ocean with relaxing beachy hues, and the theme continues throughout the hotel with watery spirals echoed in the spa and pool windows and the hotel’s lighting and carpeting.  From years past to years ahead, the Hyatt Regency Newport Hotel and Spa continues its annual clambake for guests.  The annual feast features Executive Chef Martin Quinn unveiling wooden trays of lobster, corn, potatoes, steamers and mussels amid a distinctively smoky, salty scented whirl of steam.  The strong fragrance of the seafood and the earthy aroma of baked rock seaweed fill the air as the traditional Wampanoag Indian clambake is disassembled, of which is a true New England experience.  New England lobster bake originated with the Wampanoag Indian tribe in the 1700s. The three-hour long process started with rocks heated for an hour and half over burning wood. As the embers of the wood burn away, the rocks are covered with wet rock seaweed, which gives up its moisture as the pods burst on the sizzling hot rocks.  Non-seafood lovers also have several options that are served along with the clambake including steaks, grilled chicken, grilled veggies and others.  The feast is capped off with peach cobbler served with vanilla ice cream.    

Although the clambake is only available to groups this summer, the Windward Restaurant, one of three dining venues at the hotel that are open to the public, offers a complete New England style seafood menu, including the Aquidneck clam chowder, which won second place at 2010’s chowder festival in Newport, RI.  Also, the Windward offers a traditional New England seafood feast featuring a sweet 1 1/4-lb lobster with drawn butter, steamers, shrimp, haddock and cod.  The tapas menu also features several seafood options such as the calamari, grilled artichoke and crab potato pancakes, Atlantic lobster medallions and Malpaque oysters.  Other restaurants include; the newly created Five33 Lounge, adjacent to the lobby and outdoor deck offers signature drinks and lighter fare, and the Bay restaurant, serving-up summertime specialty drinks.     

Other resort notables:

The Stillwater Spa was completely redesigned and offers spa treatments on the deck overlooking Newport harbor.   An old parking area at the back of the property was demolished in order to create a lush, green-lawn where volleyball and yoga are common activities. A gas fireplace on the patio also offers families plenty of cooking options over the cozy seaside fire.   
For guests who prefer to spend more time on the property enjoying the island hotel’s salt-water outdoor pool and other amenities, a recently hired activities director is continously arranging activities such as watercolor painting classes, outdoor yoga and movie nights on the great lawn.

The Hyatt Regency Newport Hotel and Spa is pet friendly.

There are two Hyatt resorts in Newport area serving as many as 75 clambakes a year starting in April and ending as Autumn begins to yield to winter in early November.

Of course you can travel wherever you want whether you are gay, lesbian or heterosexual; but it may be of interest to know that after the G Worldwide, a New York-based gay luxury travel brand that promises beautiful hotels around the world, some Disney properties in South Florida are developing communities that are creating quite a buzz in the wealthy gay and lesbian communities.

G’s is a 700,000 square-foot property and is expected to wrap-up construction in 2011 and have both hotel and timeshare options available.

Walt Disney World will be offering the chance to live inside the park, with residences starting at $1.5m and is initially planned to span 980-acres and carry the name of The Golden Oak development.  Ultimately buyers will only purchase lots, and the construction of a home is their responsibility.

From a small hotel in the French Alps in the 1960’s, Timeshare has experienced revolutionary growth and is poised to continue the rise.  The growth is attributed mostly to RCI, Interval International and Trading Places International; the three largest timeshare exchange companies within the industry.  Many of the US-based timeshare companies anticipate tremendous growth in overseas markets such as Asia, the Middle East and South Africa; and what this means to you, the vacationing enthusiast are more hotel/resort destinations to explore and experience for the first time.       

Geoff Ballotti, the president and CEO of RCI Timeshare was quoted as saying; “owners are always looking for new experiences, especially overseas, and there are ever-increasing opportunities in places in Asia – China, Indonesia and India, for example – that make it imperative for us to be there. 

Advances in the above mentioned regions have been received quite positively; in fact “RCI experienced a 14 per cent growth in the number of Asian members with 10,000 new members joining its network during the year”. 

On average in 2009, statistics showed that timeshares saw 80 per cent occupancy rates…some of this success is a result of the resale sector selling and renting for those owners who choose not to use their ownership.  The resale sector offers a convenient, interactive place on the web where buyers can view several timeshare units at a resort and typically purchase for a bargain.  However you buy or sell, and wherever your Home Resort is, 2010 and beyond are exciting times for timesharing; be adventurous, love with family and friends, explore together and most of all cherish the good times that come with timeshare.
