I'm not sure when or how I was introduced to Facebook as a source of information about UVC. Maybe I was talking to someone at Secrets St. James, or Secrets Royal Beach. Maybe I just did my own search of FB to see if there was anything out there that would be helpful. I don't remember, but I'm glad I found it. The UVC Owners' Facebook groups I belong to are the best source of UVC info I've found anywhere. They help in understanding what the membership is about, how to find value in it, what to watch out for and what the future holds for the club. These groups fill the void that UVC creates by not communicating with members.
A common come-on I hear from UVC reps at a resort when they're trying to get me to an upgrade meeting is they want to update me on what's happening in the club. I have never gotten information on the club from a UVC sales rep that's as truthful or as useful as what I get from other members in my FB groups. Sales reps don't know what's going on with the club. Their job is to get your money. Most have only a superficial knowledge of how the club works. Some sales reps do want to be helpful, but if they don't understand the club, and if they've never tried to use the club, their helpfulness is limited. Sincere and helpful sales reps provide information laced with conjecture and hope. The ruthless ones use half-truths and lies. None provide members with very useful information. If you want to learn how to find value in the club, do yourself a favor and join one (or several) of these Owners' FB groups. Read them regularly, ask questions about things you don't understand. Never rely on a sales rep for club information.
There are many experienced members in all my UVC Owners' FB groups who are willing to share their knowledge, experience and wisdom with new members. I'm thankful for them. I've benefited greatly from other members' participation in these groups.
There are several others that are active, some with a very specific focus, but the groups I belong to and participate in are:
