Shell Vacation Club (SVC) Points Knowledge thread - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums
The Shell program has some pretty nice resorts in some very nice places. The major drawback is their annual fees are on the high side for what they offer.
Some have compared SVC to the Westin/ Marriot/Hilton type quality.
Imho, their resorts while comfortable don't equal these premium brands in amenities, quality or services.
Their annual fees run around 120-150% of the same exact units in the same resorts that were not sold as points. i.e. a Orange Tree 1 bedroom unit the non-point unit the annual fees are about $575, for a points unit during the Prime season it takes 4150 points with an annual fee of about $865 ( depends upon how many points you own, could be as high as $1400)
Shell sold a lot of tiny packages, 1250,1500,1750,2000,2250,2500, where the annual fees are very high per point, and it will take 2 to 3 years worth of points for a week somewhere nice during prime season.
I hope this helps.
fwiw,
Greg
