Westin Resort and Villas’ Bay Vista project,<br />
which will bring the number of timeshares<br />
at the resort to a total of 92, is on<br />
track to be completed in July, and guests are<br />
already raving about the new state of the art<br />
two- and three-bedroom units.<br />
Construction started on the transformation<br />
of hotel rooms to 54 new timeshares in July<br />
2006, and two of the four timeshare buildings<br />
are already completed and welcoming<br />
guests.<br />
“The guests really love them,” said Westin’s<br />
Director of Rooms, Arno Pfeffer.<br />
The decor features natural earth tones with<br />
lively paintings from local artists, which add<br />
a touch of color to each unit.<br />
“The earth tones and relaxing colors are a<br />
new design for Westin,” said Pfeffer.<br />
Additional Timeshares To Come<br />
The two bedroom units offer a king-sized<br />
bed and free-standing tub in the master suite,<br />
and two queen-sized beds in the second bedroom.<br />
In the three-bedroom units, the additional<br />
bedroom features a king-sized bed.<br />
Each unit has its own washer and dryer and<br />
fully stocked kitchen, including the Whirlpool<br />
G2 MicrOven, which functions as both<br />
a microwave and an oven.<br />
“A lot of our guests do their own breakfast<br />
and then eat lunch and dinner out,” said<br />
Pfeffer. “Our returning guests, of course,<br />
have their favorite restaurants they like to<br />
go to.”<br />
The Westin, a <strong>St</strong>arwood resort, already<br />
boasts an inventory of 38 timeshares in its<br />
Virgin Grand project and approximately 175<br />
hotel rooms, and the resort reportedly has<br />
plans to construct an additional three buildings<br />
of timeshares in its second phase.<br />
“The next phase is possible, however we<br />
haven’t announced anything yet,” said <strong>St</strong>ar-<br />
