What if I want
to take a vacation in another place?
You can travel
the world with through vacation exchanges. Vacation
ownership offers unparalleled
flexibility
and the opportunity for affordable worldwide
travel through vacation ownership exchange. Through
the
international vacation exchange networks, owners
can trade their
timeshare interval for vacation time at comparable
resorts around the world.
How does the vacation
exchange work?
Most resorts are affiliated with an
exchange company that administers the exchange service
for its members.
Typically, the Exchange Company will directly
solicit annual membership. Owners individually
elect to
become members of the affiliated Exchange
Company. To exchange,
the owner places his or her interval into
the exchange company's pool of resorts and weeks
available for
exchange and, in turn, chooses an available
resort and week
from that pool. The exchange companies charge
an exchange fee, in addition to an annual
membership fee, to complete
an exchange. Exchange companies and resorts
frequently offer their members the additional benefit
of
saving
or banking vacation time in a reserve program
for use in a different year.
If we become
owners at one resort, do we have to return to that
same resort every
year?
The choice is yours. As an owner,
you can return to the same location year after
year if you
want to. Or,
you can exchange your vacation week(s)
through a professional exchange that
your home resort
is affiliated
with.
Vacation exchange opens up a world of
travel and vacation opportunities.
May I loan my unit
to family and friends?
Yes you may. Sharing your vacation
ownership with loved ones is one of the greatest
benefits of all.
Can I bring guests
along?
You may bring as many people as the
unit will sleep.
Do the resorts
charge extra for guests like a hotel does?
No, however
you are not allowed to have more guests than the
unit accommodates.
It's always
a good
idea to check with the resort
prior to
arrival to find
out how many people the unit
can comfortably accommodate.
What
do I do if I can't use my vacation ownership one
year?
You can space bank
your week(s) with the Exchange
company
for future use,
you can
rent out the
unit or you can
loan it to family or
friends.
Are all vacation ownership
units equipped with
a kitchen?
Most vacation villas
are completely equipped
with
everything you'll
need to enjoy
breakfast, lunch
or dinner just
as if you were at
home. We advise that you
always check
with each
individual resort
to be sure.
