Help with Concierge and World Passport Collections

[Goldilocks07]

Hello- I am a brand spanking new member to the DVC, and quite stressed about it, to be honest. My husband and I don't have kids (yet) and usually travel and stay in high-end luxury hotels.

Can anyone, from experience, please tell me where they have stayed around the country- and why they liked or disliked the place/location?

We like to ski/snowboard and we also love the sun (who doesn't?), but when looking online the selections are overwhelming, and it's hard to decide on which place to stay.

Any input would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

We are looking to use points for a Conciere Collection stay for summer 2008. I went to TripAdvisor to read about the hotels that are offered through the Concierge Collection to get a sense of whether we'd want to stay in any of those locations or not. I imagine you could do the same thing with the World Passport Collection hotels as well as any of the resorts that are available through II if you know what area you' want to travel to.

We're considering going to the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, DC. We checked not only TripAdvisor but also looked at their website to learn more about the hotel / area.

Those other choices are generally not a good value for your points. Places to get info about other timeshares would include the Timeshare Users Group, redweeks, and Timeshare today in addition to tripadvisors.
