Holiday Timeshare Vacations Offer Something for Everyone

Breckenridge's Grand Lodge on Peak 7!
Whether it's a warm weather getaway, a ski vacation or an urban holiday experience, timeshare vacations offer something for everyone. Even if you wait until the last minute, you may still find rentals available during peak seasons in desirable locations. Companies like RedWeek and ResorTime, Interval International and RCI have hundreds of resorts in multiple countries available to fill all your vacation needs. 

Oftentimes, a simple click will help you find the vacation you're looking for. Many companies, such as those mentioned above, have the latest technology available on their websites to make it easy to make the exchange you want, when you want it. The sites feature beautiful, color visuals of resorts and locations that are frequently updated. Just scroll through to find the perfect resort, with the perfect amenities in the perfect location.

Timeshare owners often also have access to an internal exchange within a timeshare group. Membership at one resort gives owners the freedom to trade for time at other resorts in the resort family.


Popular Destinations

Breckenridge - Not Just for Skiing!

Skiers have plenty of options, particularly in Breckenridge, Colorado. Known as one of the premiere ski destinations, its slopes and surrounding scenery provide unsurpassed beauty. Though most think first of Breckenridge for skiing and winter sports, it also offers sunny year-round weather for other activities such as hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and fishing. Book one of the Breckenridge Grand Vacations Resorts for the ultimate Breckenridge experience.

Caribbean - So Many Islands, So Many Good Deals

Owners can find many good resort deals—mostly all-inclusive, in the Caribbean. Gorgeous beaches, great weather and many outdoor activities are available in the Caribbean islands. You may have a hard time deciding on just one of the hundreds of islands in the Caribbean. Popular resort areas include Aruba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Barbados, Saint Lucia and Belize. Your private beach cabana and a tropical drink await you at Occidental Vacation Clubs in Aruba and the Dominican Republic.

Manhattan - Keeping it Urban
Owning a timeshare doesn’t mean you have to stick with beaches and ski resorts. Sometimes you may want to get some culture - theater, museums, galleries, famous restaurants and shopping (it's part of culture isn't it?). Marriott, Hilton and Westin all have timeshares available in New York City. Many are located in Midtown and close to all the action. We just saw a great price for the holidays at West 57th by Hilton Club offering your own private retreat in the heart of Manhattan.

Enjoy your holidays!

Thinking about Traveling for the Winter Holidays?

12/24/2014 Unknown
There may still be time!
It's holiday time and our thoughts turn to family and friends and the inevitable questions of where and when to get together. If you’ve waited this long to decide, you might be considered a bit of a procrastinator, but there still may be time to pull it off.  Just so you know for next year’s plans, the optimum time to book flights for Christmas travel would have been October 8th. According to Orbitz, that’s when prices were 5% below average for the time period, and they then rose slowly to more average holiday prices by Oct. 28th. So what’s a procrastinator to do now? 

Getting There

  • At this late date it might be easier to drive rather than fly, particularly if family members live fairly close together. 
  • Consider holding your holiday get together a week or two earlier, or later than the actual holiday.  The holiday window is approximately December 21st-January 6th. If you can do it, try getting together before the 21st and after January 6th. This may not work for some families, of course, but if you are flexible it will certainly help to avoid the the stress of flying during the holidays, save you a lot of money and could start a new holiday tradition.
  • There may not be any cheap days to fly during the holidays, but there are days the airlines designate for cheaper flights. You certainly are not going to get a good rate the day before the holiday itself, and there’s a great chance there will be no availability on those days. Because both Christmas and New Year's are on Thursday this year, a Sunday departure is not a good bet either. A better bet is to travel on the day of the holiday. Traditionally, flights on the holiday are less expensive.
  • Be sure to check all airlines for flights at this time of year and look for special air sales. An American Airlines Europe fare sale is running right now that features travel dates from December to spring with blackout dates of December 17th-24th. Amazingly, it includes discounted fares the week of Christmas. 

Staying There

Maybe you are one of the lucky ones that has a timeshare week scheduled for this holiday season, or maybe you thought ahead and exchanged for this time early, but if not: 
  • Be flexible in your choice of destinations and be willing to try a new place.
  • Check exchange sites like RCI, Interval International, and Dial-An-Exchange for last minute exchanges and unsold inventory.
  • Rental sites such as RedWeek.com and ResorTime.com are also options to consider.
It’s worth a little effort to get all your family and friends together and who knows, this could turn out to be your best holiday ever. Happy Holidays!
