We currently have just under 300 points at BRV and have stayed at CCV multiple times and did like it (the Lodge is our favorite resort). For us though, the layout of the rooms (particularly the galley kitchens), as well as how crowded and loud the main lobby can get are the biggest negatives on CCV, more or less offsetting the longer contracts (especially given our ages). We like the separation offered by BRV, the larger rooms, the lobby and Carolwood Pacific room, Sturdy Branches, the more rustic feel, and the quiet pool with bar service from Geyser.
As for age, the BRV building is actually 6 years newer than the main lodge, and after a full rehab cycle, for us it makes no difference that they did the CCV conversion in 2017, because until just this last year, the interiors of the BRV rooms were actually newer. We did briefly contemplate adding on at CCV, solely for the longer contract, but that would mean selling our BRV, and that was a no-go.
