The RCI timeshare Otra Vez is a great place to exchange to when visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I dropped by and saw an actual working unit, not a model.  On a scale of 3-5 I’d give the timeshare units a solid 3.  They are very comfortable and well taken care of and are furnished in typical Santa Fe style.

The kitchens are well supplied and have wood burning fireplaces. There is Internet available free in each room as well.

The 2 greatest things about the Otra Vez are its location and the parking.  It’s located on a quiet street just 2 blocks from the historic Plaza with all of its shops, restaurants and art galleries.  Once you arrive at the Otra Vez you can park your car in their lot and easily explore most of the town on foot.  Parking in Santa Fe can be a nightmare so being able to park at the timeshare is a big plus.

This RCI timeshare is highly demanded and only has 18 units so put in your request early-especially for the summer months.  I’ll be staying there on exchange for the Fourth of July 2009 and will have more to report.  I started a search in June of 2008 and was confirmed in August 2008.

In the next post I’ll give you a little history of this interesting town.
