RCI has more resorts to exchange with, II has, some say, a higher quality of resort overall. My opinion is there are six of one, half a dozen of another.</font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2">The Exchange Companies have designated special awards or ratings to signify excellence and have set-up  rigorous qualifications for the resorts to adhere to in order to receive those awarded ratings.</font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.rci.com">RCI</a> has designations of Gold Crown (the best, expect luxury) and Resort of International Distinction (just a step below a gold crown) and Standard ( just what it sounds like, don't expect a ton of amenities). If it is a standard resort, no designation is made in our descriptions. </font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.intervalworld.com"> Interval International</a> has only one rating of excellence- 5 Star! These include the Marriott and much of the Sunterra resorts. The rest of their resort affiliates are something less than a 5 star so it is difficult to gage what to expect at many of their resorts.</font></p> <p><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Finding out the true quality is simple; Either join <a target="_blank" href="http://www.tug2.net">www.tug2.net</a> and enter the "Rankings and Reviews" pages to see what other timeshare owners say about their recent visits to resorts, or order a rankings and reviews booklet from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.timesharing-today.com">www.timesharing-today.com</a> and, again, see how other timeshare owners rate resorts. You can also enter the message board at Timesharing Today's website and ask if someone has been to that resort recently.</font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0; "
