Herb asked me me about other timeshare systems that I have experience with, so I thought I'd start a thread on it and invite others to reply to this post with your own timeshare experiences outside HICV.

I purchased my first timeshare from Escapes in 2010 after a couple of rentals at Escapes Galveston - we purchased at Hot Springs to get low maintenance. In 2012, Galveston was sold to HICV, and we started looking for HICV properties.

We still own several Escapes units, so if anyone is interested in Orange Beach, Hot Springs, and Branson, the maintenance is really low (~$550 get you about 1.5 weeks in a 1BR on the beach in the Summer!). We started a site several years ago with Escapes information on it - it's no longer updated, but it's still accurate and a good resource. Orange Beach is the sister property to Galveston with a very similar look and feel.
