The management and staff and BOD have been very good and cost-aware. The area is great with outstanding wine tasting near by. We could drive from our Santa Maria home in 2 hours and enjoy the beach, wine country, amusement parks hot tub, outdoor grill, and the closeness of nearby towns such as Santa Barbara. Also, we could rent extra time in the winter for dolphin and whale watching on tours from near by Ventura harbor. There are many public golf course nearby. As I retired and moved back east, I am limited in my ability to travel back to CIS. I have made many inexpensive trades through GPX to other resorts in Carlsbad, Napa Scottsdale, Tahoe, and Las Vegas. A very friendly comfortable vacation stop close to the Pacific Ocean.

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
