Thanks for the Hawaii advaice, but

[dwbakerjr]

.. anyhow, I recently posted a request for info about the Hawaiian options in DVC, and got several nice responses. And may still end up with a daughter and soninlaw tripping there. BUT, looking thru the DVC book, they have expressed an unexpected interest in the resort in Costa Rica (did he really say Costa Rica..???). I dont suppose anybody knows anything about the Hotel/Resort in Costa Rica...?

hmmm.. so far I can't find that it has a web site....

I looked at the Tug site(timeshare users group and there was no info for it. Costa Rica would be pretty hot and maybe rainy in the summer. Maybe this listing of the top 30 rated timeshares will help. Hate to get hopes up because exchanges are not easy to get.
THE "TOP 30"
These are the very best of the resorts based on our current ratings. Only resorts with at least 10 ratings are listed here. (took out non dvc trade resorts)
