Welcome to Wyndham! We’ve been (resale) owners for about 15 years and it has been one of our better decisions.
Maximize your ownership by: 1: Joining TUG (
tugbbs.com), 2: Reading the Wyndham forums closely, but 3: Putting some of the folks who insist on having the same argument over and over on ignore.
Wyndham works best if you can plan ahead about how you will use it, and commit to those vacations. That allows you to avoid most of the nuisance fees. It also works better if you avoid short stays in smaller units during lower seasons (otherwise you end up running out of housekeeping credits.)
We’ve been to probably ten different Wyndham resorts. All have been at least good, and some are great. There are a few we’ve revisited several times. Our “repeat visits” in addition to Bonnet Creek are Smoky Mountains (a drive-to location for us) and Kauai Beach Villas (the oceanfront buildings are DW’s Happy Place, though they are under a long-term renovation right now.)
