Marriott to debut new Singer Island timeshare

Marriott is planning to open its new timeshare resort, Oceana Palms — the Palm Beaches, on Singer Island in Riviera Beach  this week. The 19-story tower, which sits on the oceanfront site of a former Crowne Plaza hotel at 3200 North Ocean Drive, had 75 two-bedroom, two-bathroom units initially available, plus swimming pools, a restaurant, fitness center. Units are going for about $35,000 a week, though they can also be rented through Marriott. The company has another timeshare resort, the 333-unit Ocean Pointe in Palm Beach Shores, and plans to expand Oceana Palms with another tower if sales are brisk and the economy moves further into recovery.
