Bluegreen Insider
Vacations from Sea to Shining Sea - Introducing Select Connections
Bluegreen's innovative Traveler Plus offers exciting vacation alternatives. Now, along with cruises and international exchanges, Traveler Plus can be your ticket to Bluegreen getaways from sea to shining sea.

Bluegreen is now a participant in a unique new relationship with another resort developer, the well-respected Shell Vacations Club. Together, Bluegreen and Shell Vacations created Select Connections, and resort vacations may never be the same. Bluegreen owners who belong to Traveler Plus* can now use their Vacation Points for Select Connections vacations in 18 additional resorts from the Shell Vacations' portfolio — most of them west of the Mississippi. Select Connections gives Bluegreen owners remarkable new vistas, exciting new landscapes, and enough vacation variety to last for many years to come. Imagine a vacation in some of these fascinating places:

The Lush Beauty of the Island of Hawaii

Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai in Honolulu, HawaiiImagine a Big Island destination that combines all the best of the Island of Hawaii. Located on the world-famous Parker Ranch, Paniolo Greens is right next door to a way of life unchanged in Hawaii for 100 years. 2-bedroom vacation homes afford ocean and mountain vistas, and being up-country on Hawaii means the Kona coffee orchards and brilliant white sands of Hapuna Beach are close at hand.

For those who fancy a Hawaiian experience, Select Connections offers two additional Big Island resorts: Kona Coast Resort and Holua Resort at Mauna Loa Village in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii's dry, western coast. Through Select Connections, you can also enjoy Kauai Coast Resort at the Beachboy in Kapa'a; and the lovely Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai between Honolulu's impressive Waikiki Beach and the quieter Ala Moana Beach.

Scintillating Scottsdale, Arizona

The Orange Tree Golf Resort captures the best of two vacation worlds: the fine service and intimate ambience of a country club and the first-class amenities of a fine golf resort. While 18 holes of golf offer a challenge for players of all skill levels, those who don't play will love the resort, too.

Picture a comfy lounge by the side of a crystal pool within the sound of a cascading waterfall. Beyond the resort's 128 acres, the Sonoran Desert awaits exploration-and all the sophistication of Scottsdale beckons.

The Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix, Arizona

There are a total of 3 Select Connections resorts in Arizona. In addition to Orange Tree Golf Resort, Bluegreen owners can choose The Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix and Starr Pass Golf Suites in Tucson.

New Vista in Wonderful Wisconsin

Carriage Hills Resort at Horseshoe Valley in Barrie, Ontario, CanadaFor those who love Christmas Mountain Village™, here's a fresh idea and a beautiful alternative in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Located in famous Door County, Little Sweden is a four-season retreat beneath the birch trees. Villas offer all the comforts of home in a spectacular natural setting. An indoor pool and hot tub, skiing and ice skating promise winter fun, while an outdoor pool, tennis, hiking and the lake make summer delightful.

Las Vegas Lights

With Bluegreen Club 36™ still a few months away, Select Connections offers the Desert Rose Resort, just a short stroll from all the lights of Las Vegas Boulevard, the legendary Strip. Suites with 1 and 2 bedrooms and complete kitchens provide quiet retreats from the non-stop action, while a cool blue pool offers a restful respite beneath the blazing Nevada sun.

Oh, Canada!

Mountainside Lodge in Whistler, British Columbia, CanadaShoulder your skis and head for adventure. Mountainside Lodge in breathtaking Whistler, British Columbia lets you walk to the lifts at Whistler and Blackcomb. This European-style village offers alpine and cross-country skiing, as well as snowboarding. Select Connections provides ideal surroundings summer and winter, spring and fall. Studio, studio loft, and 1-bedroom accommodations welcome you. A heated pool and hot tub soothe well-used muscles.

Select Connections offers 2 additional Canadian options for Bluegreen owners. Carriage Hills Resort and Carriage Ridge Resort at Horseshoe Valley in Barrie, Ontario offer an ideal base for exploring Southern Ontario. These attractive four-season resorts invite you to swim indoors or out (depending on your choice of vacation seasons), tee off at one of the many area golf courses or ski nearby trails through snow-laden forests of pine. Explore Niagara Falls or cosmopolitan Toronto from this great locale.

Close to Portland-Away from Everything

Beautiful Oregon and the amazing Columbia River Valley provide an ideal vacation destination for Bluegreen owners. Select Connections offers Whispering Woods Resort in the Mount Hood National Forest in charming Welches, Oregon. 1- and 2-bedroom villas offer kitchens and fireplaces or wood stoves for year-round charm and seasonal comfort.

California, Here We Come!

The Donatello in San Francisco, CaliforniaSelect Connections invites Bluegreen owners to explore Southern California from a convenient base in Anaheim. Peacock Suites is only steps from the original Disney® theme park-Disneyland®. 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom accommodations are ideal for families of all sizes. Facilities for handicapped guests are also available. Explore Downtown Disney® or go to Hollywood, shop Rodeo Drive, or visit the broad Pacific beaches or Knot's Berry Farm.

A tour of California's most exciting destinations just has to include San Francisco. The sophisticated City by the Bay is home to 2 delightful Select Connections resorts — Inn at the Opera and The Donatello. In addition to San Francisco, Select Connections also offers accommodations at the exciting Vino Bello Resort in scenic Napa, California.

A few basic rules govern Select Connections, and a $49 confirmed reservation fee is applicable for each reservation. Reservations can be made for 2 nights in any resort or 3 nights in Hawaii.
