The Financial Times - April 28, 2006
The concept is much more than a gimmick. If the players all continue to execute as well as Quintess, LRW did during my brief dose of Paris in the springtime, expect the destination club industry to grow much further...

William S. Wisialowski - Partner, Seven Hills Group LLC
"Our first experience with Quintess, LRW was outstanding. The quality and decor was beyond expectations and the views were spectacular. We left feeling great about the decision to join Quintess, LRW and explore its growing network of locations."

Ken Goldman - President, Fundamental Trading Corp.
"I could get spoiled easily with this club."

Jeff Main - President, AMP Printing
"This experience is so much more personal than a five star resort! I love that these are family destinations where you know you are on vacation but it feels like home. It relieves any stress to arrive knowing that the home is stocked with drinks and groceries already. The homes are large enough to share with extended family and friends, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are luxurious and the amenities are fantastic. The recommendations of the Quintess, LRW staff for restaurants and activities were right on, making our vacation a perfect Los Cabos experience!"

Trader Monthly - April 2006

For Steve Berkowitz, the chief executive of Ask Jeeves, membership in Quintess, LRW affords him luxury homes that are worth $3 million to $4 million each. "It's a steal," said Mr. Berkowitz, 48, member of Quintess, LRW. "I travel a lot. It's cheaper than staying in a five-star hotel." But there is nothing cheap about the homes themselves...
