Timeshare Presentations: How to Get Cheap & Free Vacations

If you’re planning to visit some of the world’s most popular destinations, you can run into some hurdles if award availability is scarce and cash prices are high.

Sure, points can help offset the cost, but that means it will cost you a lot of points. What if I told you there’s a way to save those points and snag an awesome deal on your accommodation?

Well, there is – welcome to the world of timeshare presentation packages.  

What Is a Timeshare?

In a nutshell, a timeshare is a shared ownership program in which you may use a vacation property for a set time period every year.

Timeshare properties can range from resorts to condominiums to campsites. They can be a good option for travellers who have a favourite destination they like to vacation at every year.

With timeshares, these travellers will  have familiar accommodations to return to each time without the hassle of having to manage a fully-owned property while they are away. 

Most of the big hotel brands that we’re familiar with have their own affiliated timeshare division. A few well-known examples include the Marriott Vacation Club, Hilton Grand Vacations, Holiday Inn Vacation Club, Hyatt Residence Club, and even Disney has their own Disney Vacation Club.

Generally speaking, there are two types of timeshares: those that are points-based and those that give you deeded weeks.

• In a points-based program, you have a certain number of points each year that can be redeemed against nights at your timeshare.
• In a deeded-week program, every year, you have a “week” of the year that you can use your timeshare.

You do not necessarily need to stick with your timeshare property either. Usually, there is a system or program for owners to swap their property for another destination or property for any given year, building some flexibility into the program.

Despite the perks of timeshares, many people choose not invest in one, as they can be a money drain if you don’t make good use of them.

There are annual maintenance fees for the upkeep of the property that have to be paid, the process of swapping properties can be quite complicated, and it can be a pain to get rid of them or resell them as they don’t hold much value in the reseller’s market.  

What Is a Timeshare Presentation?

Whether you feel like timeshares may be a good fit for your travel patterns or not, you should consider attending a timeshare preview presentation.

The timeshare market is a competitive one, and most timeshare vacation clubs will offer some form of incentive for an opportunity to introduce you to their program in the hopes of enticing you to purchase one. 

What is offered as part of the package varies by the club and even the property, and it can be anywhere from tickets to a theme park or a show, to accommodations at one of their properties for several days at a huge discount, plus maybe even some bonus points for their respective hotel award programs.

If it’s the accommodation you’re after, keep in mind that usually the package will cover a “standard” room; however, there is a possibility for upgrading, as we’ll discuss later.

What’s the Catch with Timeshare Presentations? 

To take advantage of these fantastic offers, you (and your spouse, if you’re married) need to attend a 1.5- to two-hour sales pitch about the timeshare program while you’re vacationing on your timeshare package.

During that time, they’ll introduce you to their program, how easy it is to use the timeshare, the flexibility it provides, the years of enjoyment you will get out of it, and even give you a tour of a potential timeshare unit. 

Easy enough, right? Most of the time, yes.

Some sales representatives can be pushy and will pull out all the stops to get you to sign on, because that’s how they earn their commission. You may feel pressured to buy, and they may spend a lot of time negotiating a better offer for you.

Most sales reps, however, are quite reasonable. If you’ve put in your time and made it clear you’re not ready to buy, they’ll send you along your merry way. And if you do happen to cave under the pressure and buy the timeshare, it’s not the end of the world (more on this later).

During the pandemic, some timeshares like the Marriott Vacation Club opted to do virtual sales presentations, and in lieu of a vacation deal, you’d earn Bonvoy points instead.

There have been recent offers of up to 20,000–25,000 Bonvoy points; however, you have to be a US resident to take advantage. For the in-person presentation packages, there are no US residency requirements. 

How to Book a Timeshare Presentation

Now that you might be considering taking advantage of a timeshare presentation, let’s go over how you find these offers and sign up for them.

The easiest way is through each respective club’s website. Usually, there is a phone number or online form to complete for additional information. 

Hyatt even allows you to book the package online if you reside in the USA.

Once you purchase the package, there is quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to booking. Although the terms specifically say that the timeshare has to be booked within 12 months of purchase, it is not uncommon for them to extend this deadline. I have done this on a couple of occasions myself, even prior to the pandemic.

Once you book your package, you can still change the dates, although some programs will charge a change fee. During the pandemic, there was even more leniency (I rescheduled a Marriott preview package no less than four times), although this may tighten up a bit as travel opens up.

Unfortunately, once you purchase a preview package, they are generally considered non-refundable. There have been scattered reports of people receiving refunds if they no longer fulfill the eligibility for the package, but as always, your mileage may vary and this should not be the expectation.

My Experiences with Hilton Grand Vacations

Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) has over 50 properties spread across the United States. Their properties differ from the regular Hilton-branded hotels in that they generally offer accommodations with more space, larger and a greater number of bedrooms, and ensuite kitchen and laundry amenities.

Note that not all HGV properties are bookable through timeshare presentations, and some properties are only made available at certain times. 

Thus far, I’ve done a couple of packages with Hilton Grand Vacations in Orlando , and another in Honolulu . Here’s a recap of my experiences so far with HGV. 

Parc Soleil by Hilton Grand Vacations

View on the Hilton Grand Vacations website.

2017 Package Deal: Three nights / four days for US$199 and a US$200 “Stay a Night On Us” rebate voucher; upgraded to a two-bedroom suite for an additional US$50

A few years back, I had to call Hilton reservations to change an existing hotel booking I had. At the end of the call, they thanked me for being a loyal Hilton Honors member and asked if I would be interested in hearing about a “great offer” they currently had. I accepted, and so began my journey down the rabbit hole of timeshare packages. 

I was forwarded to another agent, who offered me the above timeshare package. I was considering a trip to Disney for my son’s fifth birthday anyway, and this would definitely help bring down the trip’s cost, so I bought the package.

When we decided on our dates, I called back, and they confirmed availability and booked our accommodation and the timeshare presentation to be done during our stay – and that was it! 

At the time of booking, my youngest was only a few months old and wasn’t the greatest sleeper, and so extra space to accommodate her sleeping situation was desirable. When I inquired whether our one-bedroom suite could be upgraded to a two-bedroom suite, the agent advised that we could do that for an additional US$50, which seemed more than reasonable to me, bringing our grand total to US$249 plus tax. 

We stayed at the HGV Parc Soleil, which is a 15-minute drive into Disney. Other than being a bit further out from Disney, it was a fantastic accommodation option for families.

It had two beautiful outdoor pools, one that was zero-entry with a water slide and another for adults only. They had a kids activity centre and some organized activities throughout the day. There was also a basketball court, tennis court, and outdoor playground for the kids.

The suite itself was spacious, modern and clean with a full kitchen and an in-suite washer and dryer. There was also a paid shuttle service ($10 round trip per person) to the surrounding amusement parks, but times were rather limited. 

We attended the timeshare presentation on the second day. It was located at the Parc Soleil, which made it convenient.

At check-in, they ask for your ID and credit card, then invite you to enjoy snacks and non-alcoholic drinks while you wait for your sales representative. You can also drop off your kids at a small, supervised children’s room (with toys, colouring, and a TV) while you attend the presentation. 

Since it was our first timeshare presentation experience, we did not know what to expect. We were also genuinely interested in learning more about timeshares, which didn’t work in our favour.

They started off with some general questions about our travel habits and destinations we wanted to visit, and then went onto discuss how HGV could make it all happen at a fraction of the cost. 

Once the sales representative realized we actually had some interest, he turned the pressure on. He would show us how he had booked various destinations at fantastic rates and began negotiating on the amount of initial investment required to purchase, while offering additional Hilton Honors points to sweeten the deal.

Each time we declined, he would go back to his manager and come back with a better deal.

This went on for a bit until he finally came back with what seemed to be a decent offer at the time, and we actually signed the papers and walked out with a timeshare after the two and half hours.

The agent offered to refund our US$199 package cost, probably as a kind gesture given that we had just bought a timeshare with him, and then sent us to the front desk to obtain our US$200 “Stay a Night On Us” rebate voucher.

Suffice to say, purchasing a time share was not our initial game plan. Luckily for us, there is a cooling-off period built into the contracts, whereby you have 10 days to rescind a timeshare purchase agreement.

With some time and space to actually think about our impulsive decision, we decided it really wasn’t for us and the next day, we rescinded.

The staff were very kind about it and it was an easy enough process, but lesson learned: do not show any interest in a timeshare if you are in it only for the cheap accommodations.

Hilton Grand Vacations at Tuscany Village

2019 Package Deal: Four nights / five days in a one bedroom suite for US$299, refunded after presentation, one $200 “Stay A Night On Us” rebate voucher OR 10,000 Hilton Honors points

A year later, my husband had a conference in Chicago at the Hilton. HGV had set up a booth in the lobby, where they offered everyone 1,000 Hilton Honors points just for listening to what they had to offer.

Jon took them up on the offer, and this time he was offered packages to either New York City, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, or Orlando. They were two- to four-night packages ranging from US$199 to US$399.

Now, you might be wondering: how often you can purchase a timeshare presentation package? As per HGV’s terms, as long as you have not attended another presentation in the last 12 months, you are eligible to purchase another. 

We were just over a year since our first package, so we bought another, back to Orlando. This time around, the offer was four nights for US$299 plus tax, so we were a little hesitant as our previous offer was better.

The sales agent, sensing the hesitancy, sweetened the package by offering either a US$200 “Stay a Night On Us” rebate voucher or 10,000 Hilton Honors points, and to refund the US$299 after the presentation. That sealed the deal for us. 

This time, we chose to stay at the Tuscany Village, located about 15 minutes from Disney once again. The décor was a bit more dated, but it still had an outdoor playground and a few pools that would satisfy most young kids.

There were also complimentary DVD rentals and a children’s activity centre, albeit a bit smaller than the one at Parc Soleil.

I enjoyed the fact that it was right beside the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets, which meant some retail therapy for me between theme park days. They also had a paid shuttle going to the amusement parks, but once again, the times were limited. 

Our presentation was back at the Parc Soleil. This time, my husband and I had a different game plan: we would tell them that we weren’t ready to buy a timeshare and to let them know early on.

This was working well for us initially, and at the one-hour mark the agent was pretty much finishing up. As we were just about to leave, he advised us that his manager had one last offer for us, which got us our third package… 

The Grand Islander by Hilton Grand Vacations

The manager came out and offered us a trial membership to the HGV program. Now this was different.

There was no set destination for the package; instead, for $1,599 (USD), we would be given enough points to redeem for seven nights in up to a two-bedroom suite at any of the HGV properties in North America, including Hawaii.

We did the math and worked out that it would be less than $230 (USD) a night. If it were any other destination, we would have left it. After looking at the current rates for Hawaii for a Hilton property in Honolulu for March Break, we came to see that it was a great deal.

Keep in mind that these are rates for two adults and two children. If you have more than four in your family, like myself, either you’re paying more, or you’ll find that most hotels won’t even be able to accommodate. The fact that we could book a two-bedroom suite was a big selling point for us.

HGV has quite a few properties in Hawaii, with the Grand Islander by HGV being one of the newer ones. We booked at the Grand Islander for four nights in Honolulu over March Break . 

That leaves us with three nights remaining, which we could have used to extend reservation to seven nights… 

…or book three nights at their New York property, West 57th Street by Hilton Club at the south end of Central Park, another otherwise pricey accommodation option. 

Either way, you can see that our $230 (USD) per night beats the above rates by a long shot. 

An Even Better Offer…

Sticking with Hawaii as our theme destination, HGV currently has an offer on their website for five nights in Honolulu or Waikoloa for $799 (USD) in a standard room, which brings the nightly rate to $160 (USD) – an incredible deal for a night in Hawaii.

Granted, it’s for a standard room, but I’m pretty sure you can request an upgrade offer to a bigger suite at a decent cost when you call in. 

My Experience with Marriott Vacation Club

We originally purchased our Marriott Vacation Club Preview Package back in 2019. This package offered a five nights at Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club for $799 (USD).

After numerous delays and postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we finally enjoyed our stay in March 2022 . 

We rescheduled our timeshare presentation after our arrival, and there were no issues with moving it to a different day. When it came time for the actual presentation, it took place in a cubicle in their outdoor Sales Centre.

We wound up going over the 90-minute allotment, and spent closer to two hours there. I was genuinely interested in the program, so it was more my fault than theirs.

Marriott Vacation Club uses a points-based system. Our sales agent offered us the base-level 1,500 points at $15.84 (USD) per point, totalling $23,760 (USD).

As a signup bonus, they were willing to throw in another 3,000 points for the first year.

To put things into perspective, a one-bedroom villa in Maui at peak season could cost up to 4,500 points per week.

We didn’t show much interest in this, and they tried to sweeten the deal with some more offers, but we kindly declined. As we had an exit interview, another sales agent came in to offer us yet another timeshare presentation package.

The first offer, which was good for the next two years, was five nights at the same property for $1,295 (USD). We weren’t sure when we would be back to Maui again, so, again, we declined.  

They approached us with one last offer: $995 (USD) for four nights at any of their North American properties, including another property in Hawaii for a $300 (USD) add-on fee.

Our family wanted to visit Kauai in the near future, and after a quick check for a four-night stay in the winter revealed prices at around $2,600 (USD) for four nights, we accepted this last offer.

It goes to show that sticking around for more offers can result in some pretty great rates!

If you’re not familiar with timeshare presentation packages, now’s the time to take a look at them as a means to very cheap accommodations in many popular vacation spots.

Timeshare presentations are a great option in areas where points redemptions are either not worth it (e.g., Orlando, where hotels are generally quite cheap to begin with), or in places where redemptions are difficult to make (e.g., Hawaii where the cost of redemptions are high).

It does require a small time commitment and perhaps a bit of finesse in talking down a sales representative, but in my mind, the savings are definitely worth it.

Amy, please clarify — you said “no” to buying the timeshare BUT they offered you another timeshare presentation elsewhere?

That’s correct!

Thanks for the great information!! Do any of them ask for income verification?

No, they didn’t.

Thank you VERY much, not even the fancier ones like Wyndham or Marriott presentations?

As a previous owner of timeshares and an attendee at multiple presentations I’ll add some comments which may be helpful: -if you buy, it is difficult to recover your purchase price because of the heavy marketing costs built into the price -I have sold my timeshares and currently have some fractional ownership properties to which I have title, which may not be subject to the same haircut on sale -my trading options (including my Hyatt property) are through Interval International which has a network of thousands of properties around the world -Resorts Condominiums International is another trading network, so you are not stuck with a specific hotel program -if you go to a place like Puerto Vallarta or Cabo San Lucas, you are swarmed at the airport, sometimes car rental places or Walmart, by sellers of these packages -I have a friend who used to fill her PV trips with different presentations, and she was often able to negotiate improved perks for the presentations themselves; she did this for a fair number of years, without buying, before they caught on to her -If you decide to buy, wait, wait, wait; I’ve seen people buy in the initial large presentation with cheers and champagne, only to see deals offered that were a fraction of the cost in later iterations -often you have to see multiple people before you escape, the deals keep getting better, but the original 90 minutes is substantially exceeded -the last one I went to took about 4 hours and I finally walked away abandoning my promised perks

Thanks for the article Amy. I was attempting to book an Orlando offer in my Hilton App yesterday but they only permit USA addresses. When I went to the International website the offers weren’t as good. Do you know of a way to get the same offers advertised on the App?

I’m not sure but you can try calling in and requesting.

Amy, do they ask to see both adult’s ID or license? We are common law marriage different last names. Can we just show 1 ID card?

When you sign up for the package they will usually ask if you are married, etc. If so, they will ask for your partners name. It doesn’t matter if the last names are different. At Hilton, they checked both ID’s but Marriott only checked my husbands (not sure if that was intentional though).

Hi Amy, thanks for the article (and love the family-geared content!). When I click through the link for the current HGV Hawaii offer and put in my zip code, I get a message basically telling me this offer is not available to me. Any idea why?

Hmm that’s interesting. I’m not entirely sure why. Perhaps certain states have different offers/restrictions.

My family has an Embarc timeshare bought maybe 20 years ago… from our experience… currently there is not enough money and points in the world to suffer the presentation. Long story but about 8 years ago, had to lawyer up to deal with them.

I have reached on Marriott Vacation Club for further information and was told there is no timeshare deal for canadian résidents at the moment but if I visit à proporty I can ask over there… not really convenient

Hi Amy, great article and tips! Just a question: is there a limitation on the number of times you can book (the rules seem to say once per year but is this per individual or per family (so a family of 2 adults could do this twice per year))? Thank you!

Hi Amy, Thank you for the great information. You mentioned you were given a trial membership of HGV. Is the $1599 USD a yearly fee? Are there any other fees associated with owning HGV timeshare? Do you plan on continuing with the HGV membership or will you likely cancel. Thanks!

It was $1599 one time fee for 7 nights. Once you use up the 7 nights, the trial is done.

I have used this strategy successfully. As a family of four, we will only stay in a one bedroom or two bedroom if it’s for any stretch of time. Having a kitchen to cook your own meals is a cost savings and easier than having to coordinate eating out all the time. In November 2019 we stayed in a one-bedroom at Maui Ocean Club Napili for only 450,000 bonvoy points. My wife and I attended a 1.5 hour timeshare presentation and received 40,000 bonvoy. The retail value of the room was $7,500 USD. Unfortunately, any type of room at Maui Ocean Club is very difficult to book on points.

I will likely have to cancel due to Australia’s continued strict lockdown, but I booked two 2 bedroom suites at the Surfers Paradise Marriot Vacation Club this December for seven days and 292,000 points each (total 584,000 points). The retail value was 14,500 Australian Dollars. You have to really hunt but can find some gems occasionally.

Thanks for the info Amy! Is there a website for all the Hilton offers available? I was able to find Orlando/Las Vegas by searching on their site, but could only find the Hawaii deal by using the link in your article. And similarly for Marriott, do they have a webpage that describes their offers? I was recently invited by a Marriott CSR to call a 1-800 number to get a similar deal, but would much rather check it out first on a website rather than have it described over the phone by a salesperson.

Unfortunately there’s no central page where all the offers are located for HGV. If you click on the various destinations they have you may see a banner at the top with an offer for whichever destination you selected. If you can’t find a particular destination offer, best to call or email them. Same applies for Marriott.

While staying at an Hilton in Washington DC 3 years ago, we were offred a timeshare presentation and visit for 10k HHONORS points. I said I wasn’t interested unless it was for 30k points which they agreed. The visit went smoothly and interesting, when we sat down to discussed the prices at one point I said it wouldn’t work out since I’m earning lots of miles and points from business travels. And that was it a total of 90 minutes of our time.

Hi Amy, how can you book the Grand Islanders by HGV in Maui? It is opening in September but I cannot find it is available to book yet. I’m looking 5 day accommodation in Maui next year. I really hope we can have the Honolulu’s deal in Maui.

I apologize, we have Grand Islander booked for Honolulu and Marriott booked for Maui. You are correct, the new HGV property opening in Maui is not bookable yet.

Hi Amy, how can you access the HGV in Honolulu? I entered my information and the site says I’m not eligible for the Hawaii deal and instead directed me to Orlando and Las Vegas only.

I would try calling in and requesting. Sometimes they do have eligibility restrictions based on where you’re located or your income. Actually, for my current one with Marriott in Maui, i had to go through a couple of agents before they gave me the offer I was looking for.

Hi Amy – Great article and timely as we’re looking to book a family trip to Hawaii this coming year. What offer did you end up getting for the Marriott presentation?

Hey Mark! $799 usd for 5 nights 🙂

Which property? Offers for me were between $799 and $999 for 5 nights depending on which island.

It’s at Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club 🙂

Nice score! Thanks

I saw several posts/questions about the HVV offer and I wanted to share my experience

Many people ask how they are presented the opportunity to receive such an offer. Well, for me it was simple, I called the reservation line asking basic questions about the hotel. Once I was done with my questions they asked if I wanted to be transferred to hear about how I can save up to 70% on my next stay. I said, sure why not. I had no idea this was the timeshare prsentation offer. The deal they offered was 6 nights/7 days plus sunset cruise, $200 resort credit and one or two other things I cant recall for the low price of $853 (all taxes and resort fees included) Wow, sounded great! I booked immediately. In order to secure my spot I had to leave a non-refundable deposit of $399 with the remainder due at checkin.

After you leave your deposit you have to call another department and reserve the actual days you want to stay at the hotel. Thats when I encoutered my first issue. I wanted to stay the week of July 4th (something I disclosed when I booked the offer originally) I was told there would be holiday fees plus high season fees. Obviously this upset me because this was not mentioned when I booked the offer even though I specified the dates of my trip. Very irritating and I felt duped. I expressed my concerns with the reservationist and he asked me to hold. Well, 15 minutes later I was still on hold. I decided I'd been holding too long and hung up. Within a couple of minutes he called back with good news. He was able to wave the holiday fees and peak season fees. Yay! Then came the second problem. A standard "resort view" room. I was told on the phone when I bought the offer that I could upgrade for a small fee. Wrong. Upgrading would result in full rack rate. When I vacation I like the best, Im not in the business of getting a basic room. I usually like a suite or at least something with the the best view, a splurge. At this point I had two options, make my reservation or call it a loss and lose my $399 deposit. I wasnt happy, but wasnt sure how to proceed. When I expressed how stressed I was about my options the reservationist was kind enough to speak to his manager and request I be released from my deposit. I didnt expect that, I didnt even know that was an option, so I didnt think to ask. Well, he came back on the phone and said he would refund my deposit and I would owe zero. I was shocked! The moral of the story is the Hilton has good business sense. I was so happy with my treatment that after I hung up the phone I booked my stay online, in the upgraded ocean front suite in the exclusive Ali'i Tower. Yes its much much much much more that my initial deal, but I am happy overall with Hilton and because of my experience they received a customer paying full rack rate.

Bottom Line, the Hilton Brand seems like a fair company to deal with.

Glad to hear they worked with you. We have been members for years and always found them to be a stand up company.

I may be a bit sceptical, but taking that non refundable fee and then saying you can't have the various things that you had already discussed (4 July, room type), almost borders on a con to me. Lucky you persevered to get what you wanted.

I am pleased it worked out well for you fancypants.

Usually at the very least *most* states have some sort of consumer protections in place if you cancel these types of purchases shortly after payment is made.

Yes, it all did sound like extreme sales pressure and can be rebuffed by controlling the pace of the phone call to the sales rep, and saying 'well it's OK as there's a 14 cooling off period' - if yr state has that!

Here, they are req'd to actual tell you that we get a 14 day cooling period (Aus wide), I got that recently when getting travel ins.

I always throw mine away, but they sure seem like good deals if you're willing to put up with whatever they throw at you....I'm interested in knowing exactly what they throw at you...

We sat through the presentation in Vegas in 2002. That's when we bought, so obviously we liked what we heard. Since then we have sat through two owners upgrade presentations (one in Vegas in 2005 and one in Orlando in 2012.) Both times we told them we were happy with our current points level and that pretty much ended the conversation. They don't want to waste time on your if you aren't a viable candidate.

In our original pitch, we went in determined to say no. But, we liked what we heard. We said no to the initial pitch and then they pull in a "manager" to sweeten the deal and see if they can get you to change your mind. It never really felt high pressure though. They did manage to sweeten the deal and we bought in.

I did read someone on here said that one was scheduled for something like 2 hours I think it was but they walked out after was it 3 hours (?). Sorry, that's all the info I have, but yes I am intrigued too.

We are owners at HGVC for about 4 years now, but our upcoming stay in 9 days is on a VIP package with presentation. We've attended only 1 other presentation since our original buy in, and like Cindi P said, we didn't feel any high pressure sales tactics as it didn't seem like they want to waste your time, or theirs if you truly aren't interested. We've never had issues with Hilton as owners so far, and really like their structure for timeshares. It's been awhile since we went to a presentation, so I'll report back here and let everyone know how our experience was.

Boy you are very forgiving and understanding. What a run around.

How did you get the HVV offer by the way? Thanks!

Hilton Hawaii Timeshare Offer: A Nice Discount & Hilton Honors Points

Hilton Hawaii Timeshare Offer

Reader Kevin, the timeshare offer magnet , shared another timeshare presentation offer he received.  The latest offer is a Hilton Hawaii timeshare offer. It comes with a 5 night stay and 25,000 Hilton Honors points.  Let’s take a look at the details and breakdown the value.

There are actually two separate offers for Hawaii so we will look at both of them.  There are also offers for California and Las Vegas but we are going to focus on the Hawaii ones.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort – Honolulu

• 6 days / 5 nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
• 25,000 Hilton Honors points
• Up to 12 months to travel
• 2 hour timeshare presentation required

Ocean Tower by Hilton Grand Vacations – Waikoloa

• 6 days / 5 nights at the Ocean Tower by Hilton Grand Vacations

The resort in Honolulu is actually rated higher on TripAdvisor but I know many people try to avoid Honolulu so it is good to have options. Remember that there is also restrictions to enter Hawaii right now as well, and there likely could be over the next 12 months.

Breaking Down the Value

Let’s take a look at the value for each offer.  They are essentially the same but cash rates could differ some.

Hilton Honor Points

The 25,000 points you get for each offer are worth around $100 to me.  I think most people can get $0.004 or more per Hilton Honors point.

5 Night Stay

The real value comes from the discounted stay at the resorts.  I will pick the same dates for each in October of next year.

• The total for 5 nights came out to $1688.50 for October 8-13, 2021.
• You could also book the room for 240,000 Hilton Honors points (thanks to the 5th night free) that are worth only $960.
• The total for 5 nights came out to $1145 for October 8-13, 2021.
• You could also book the room for 415,000 points (no 5th night free, maybe because it is a timeshare property?). This is a horrible deal with those points having $1660 in value.

Crunching The Numbers

The total value you can get from the offer is $1060-$1245.  The cost is $649 for the package, plus 2 hours of your time.   That is a savings of at least $411 and as much as $596. Or you could look at it as a way to get around 40%-50% off your trip.

The value doesn’t overwhelm me like offers in the past have .  Which is surprising since timeshare properties have to be hurting.

Link to Offer

Final thoughts.

I think this is a decent offer for anyone that was planning a trip to Hawaii anyway.  I wouldn’t go out of my way to book it or make plans because of it but it could reduce your out of pocket or points cost. You will also earn points on the stay as well as you normally would which increases the savings a little more.  Often the hotels will give you the perks of your status as well, if you have any that is.

If I was going to pick one of the two it would probably be the Honolulu property.  It looks like the better hotel overall even if the value is inflated at Ocean Tower.  If you have stayed at either property share your thoughts on them in the comments.

I haven’t seen a blog on the best way to avoid the 10 day quarantine on Kauai. The Points Guy recently reported needing to do a 3 day resort bubble quarantine. Check out my comment to them.

Aloha Clint,

Thanks for the article on resort bubbles on Kauai. I live on Kauai and work in the visitor industry. I’d like to share with you another possibility of avoiding a resort bubble to visit Kauai.

Arrive from the mainland on any other island than Kauai with a negative test that meets the States requirements. Spend 3 days enjoying that island without quarantine on that island. Upon arrival in Hawaii take another test that meets Kauai’s standards. After three days in Hawaii, and with a negative test taken within 72 hours, you can arrive on Kauai and not need to quarantine at all. Bypass the resort bubbles.

This seems to be hard to figure out for most travelers so I hope you can get the word out. You might want to check with KEMA, Kauai Emergency Management Agency, to verify this information. I’ve had to travel inter island recently and KEMA was very helpful once you get by the recorded messaging.

Mahalo, Charlie Cowden, Pres. Hanalei Surf Company Cell: 808 639 8797 http://www.hanaleisurf.com

Thank you for posting this.

Thanks Charles – we will have to write something up on that. Much appreciated!

By the time you write it up it will change again a week after 🙂 hard to keep up with the changes. All of the changing info ia found here: https://www.gohawaii.com/travel-requirements just have to be willing to read. What I read does not compliment the comment above unless that was old news?

“The counties of Kaua‘i, Maui, and the island of Hawai‘i are each managing their own inter-county travel quarantine processes. Travelers to Kaua‘i must receive a negative pre-travel test result before departure and a 2nd negative test result after 72 at an approved Enhanced Movement Quarantine (EMQ) “resort bubble” property. ”

Basically sound as you need 3 x test before departing mainland, within 3 x days of staying om Oahu and again within 3 x days of arriving to Kauai while in the restricted resort bubble. At a typical $150 per test it will cost around $450 per person in testing alone just to get to Kauai.

I think for any timeshare to really draw people in they will need to come up with much better offers then that for Hawaii which include free COVID testing for the family and a room. Otherwise I dont think many will sit through a 2+ hr high pressure sales during COVID for a free room putting yourself and family at even more risk. While you still need to deal with headache of testing and quarantine.

O Covid…

Is Attending a Timeshare Presentation Worth It for Families?

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .

We've probably all received an invitation to a timeshare presentation where we'd spend a few hours but get a free or inexpensive vacation out of the deal. Most of the time we say "no" because of the horror stories we've heard from people who have attended a similar event with aggressive sales tactics or with people that didn't respect their time. Today's parents have limited time to spend with their children while balancing work and household duties. Is attending a two-hour timeshare presentation to save a few bucks worth sacrificing time with the family -- especially when you're on vacation?

But some of these timeshare properties, many of which can also be booked with points, are pretty appealing. We'll talk about the timeshare pitch and perks in a minute but let's first look at some timeshare properties families may want to visit.

Top Timeshare Properties for Families

Here are a few examples of popular family-friendly timeshares, many of which are bookable on traditional hotel points. Elite members might receive an upgrade to a larger room when making a hotel reservation. And, another bonus of booking a timeshare-stye property usually ensures that you'll get a one-, two- or even three-bedroom unit that will easily fit your family (and with washing machines!).

• Kidani Village, a Disney Vacation Club property at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas (Orlando, Florida): There are four savannas with more than 200 hoofed animals and birds roaming the resort. Although not part of a hotel loyalty program, points from Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card and Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard (not currently available to new applicants) can pay for your room. I found nightly rates in the $300s before tax. You can even "rent" Disney timeshare points from owners. Personally, I want to book a room here for my family just for the unique experiences with the animals.

• The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas* (Lahaina, Hawaii): Beautiful weather year-round and tropical landscapes make Hawaii a favorite for family travel. Cash prices start in the $500s, but rooms are only 50,000 Marriott points per night.

• Marriott's Grande Vista* (Orlando, Florida): My family stayed here before and loved the pools and game rooms. My son really liked the towers and water cannons at the Plaza del Sol pool. Cash rates start at $183 per night or 35,000 Marriott points.

• Hilton Grand Vacations on the Las Vegas Strip* (Las Vegas, Nevada): While gambling is for adults, the shows and attractions are for visitors of all ages. Las Vegas is a popular family destination for food, fun, and shopping. Room rates are as low as 54,000 Hilton Honors points or $124 plus tax. The Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card is a great way to earn points with a 125,000 welcome bonus after spending $2,000 in three months, and 6x points at US Restaurants, US supermarkets and US gas stations.
• Hyatt Residence Club Maui, Ka'anapali Beach: This property is right next to the Hyatt Regency Maui. The stretch of beach here is fantastic and the pool complexes are exactly what your family dreams about when thinking "Hawaiian vacation." Use 30,000 World of Hyatt points. Cash prices for the one-, two- and three-bedroom units varies depending on the season but are clocking in just shy of $1,000 per night for a two bedroom and $1,089 for a three bedroom this summer. The World of Hyatt Credit Card can help boost your Hyatt points balance.

• Westin Princeville Ocean Villas: The North Shore of Kauai is light on points hotels, but the Westin Princeville is an option on hotel points or for timeshare owners. Standard rooms are 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night and paid rates start at about $300+ per night. Larger suites are bookable for higher prices. Guests here get to enjoy the nearby beach at the Princeville Resort that is the perfect place to watch Hawaiian sunsets.

*For both Marriott and Hilton, loyalty members can redeem points and receive the fifth night free to increase their savings.

The Timeshare Offer

Spending points, however, isn't the only way you can stay at these villa-style properties. Most of them canvas travelers to find some that will exchange their time to attend a presentation for a free or heavily discounted stay, cash or a combination of the two. In most cases, you'll need to set aside at least two hours for the presentation.

The offer will vary based on which company's presentation you attend. If you are actually interested in buying into a timeshare, do your research beforehand to understand the pros and cons of ownership and get a firm handle on pricing. The timeshare resell market can be a great way to save money if you do decide that ownership is right for you.

No matter what the offer is to attend a presentation may be, always negotiate when speaking with the representative. Remember that you'll be giving up valuable vacation time with your family to sit through the timeshare presentation. He or she may have something extra to offer to close the deal.

Here is a timeshare offer we've seen recently:

Holiday Inn Vacations Club

While checking on my IHG Rewards Club account, the telephone agent discussed a Holiday Inn Vacations Club timeshare offer. For $199, my family and I would receive a four-day, three-night vacation in our choice of one of 14 destinations. The options included Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, the Great Smoky Mountains and other destinations.

Once we attended the presentation, we would receive the $199 back in cash plus a $100 discount certificate for a future Holiday Inn stay. I love a great deal, so I signed up to attend.

Some offers are a bit pricier, such as the $798 offer some receive to spend 5-nights at the Westin Princeville in Kauai, though that offer does include an Avis car rental. Or, at the Disney Aulani in Hawaii attending the sales presentation scores you two luau tickets (normally $139 each).

Our Stay in Gatlinburg

We booked our stay for Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains. We came to find out that the city is a great family destination filled with fun tourist attractions, delicious food and amazing nature hikes. (And don't miss Dollywood , which is nearby.)

Cash Versus Points

If you'd like to stay at the timeshare resort, you can book rooms for less than $200 a night or 35,000 IHG Rewards Club points. The IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card is a great way to earn IHG Rewards points to pay for your stay.

The Holiday Inn Express Gatlinburg Downtown is located immediately next door and shares many of the benefits of the timeshare, including the indoor waterpark and pool. On many of the dates I checked, the rooms were very inexpensive when paying cash. You could book a room for 30,000 IHG points, but when the cash price is so low, I would opt for the cash rate or book through the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal .

Attending the Timeshare Presentation

When you attend a timeshare presentation, remember that you're sitting with trained sales professionals. Their job is to weave a story to create an emotional connection and get you to believe that timeshare ownership is better than staying in a hotel where you want, when you want and paying how you want (cash or points).

Most timeshare presentations say that you need to attend for 90 to 120 minutes. If you let them, they'll keep you there as long as they can. If they've done their job correctly, they'll try to find the emotional trigger that will get you to buy one of their packages before you leave.

Do Both Spouses Need to Attend the Presentation?

Timeshare purchases are a big commitment, so the salesperson wants to ensure that both spouses are there to sign off on the contract. If one spouse is not there, it is an easy excuse to say that "I need to speak with my spouse about this" to get out of the potentially high-pressure sales pitch.

Before I got married, many timeshare companies I spoke with would not book an appointment with me. Their sales presentation is designed around families and the memories you create while traveling.

Can Children Attend With You?

Timeshare companies know the children can be a distraction or an excuse to leave early during the sales presentation. Because of this, your children may not always be allowed to attend the timeshare presentation with you, though there are exceptions to this. For example, the Disney Vacation Club does a great job providing colors and such for kids to stay busy during the presentation. We have heard of children attending with other brands, too, such as Hyatt.

When we travel with our children, they usually go to the kids club while we speak with the sales representative. In most kids clubs there will be toys and video games for them to play with, drinks and snacks to enjoy, and television to watch.

With many vacations jam-packed with activities, the kids club can be a welcome breather for kids to relax and enjoy some free-style play.

The Presentation

After signing in at the front desk, you'll watch a video with the other guests while your sales rep waits in another room. The video is designed to make you think about how you can travel with your family using the timeshare and what fond memories you will create. Timeshare members will talk about the places they travel with their ownership and how they love that the timeshare can be passed down to their children.

Once the video is finished, you'll go to the sales rep's table where he will ask questions about how you like to travel, where you want to go and how much you spend on vacation.

It always amazes them when we talk about how much we travel and how little we spend. Most of the sales reps that we've talked to do not understand the value of miles and points.

The Sales Pitch

The answers you provide help the sales rep craft the presentation and approach to get you to buy. The simple math works like this: You say that you travel a certain number of days each year and spend so much each night. They multiply this number by 40 years and compare your expected spend against the purchase of a timeshare.

The sales rep will tell you that it is better to buy a timeshare than rent hotel rooms. But what they often neglect to mention is that the timeshare locations aren't always in the places you like to travel, popular resorts book up quickly, maintenance dues go up each year and you'll pay the dues even when you don't travel. Additionally, if you go through a phase where you need to tighten up on discretionary spending (such as travel), you can't do that as easily if you owe set dues each year.

After you've listened patiently and politely declined their offer, a manager will come to the table. The manager will ask if the sale rep treated you well and take some notes.

At that point, he or she will probably offer you a trial package or maybe a discounted offer to return. A trial will let you try out the timeshare membership for one to two years by paying $1,000 to $3,000 to have a select group of properties to stay at. This package may lock in today's prices in case you decide to buy in the future.

For many people, the trial or sampler package can be a good deal compared to cash prices for the same properties -- points are sometimes even thrown into the deal.

At our Holiday Inn Vacations Club presentation, they offered us a future eight-day, seven-night stay for $1,499. We would be in a two-bedroom, two-bath unit similar to the one we toured earlier in the day. Although the rooms were attractive and the offer was tempting, we couldn't see our family wanting to visit any of their locations for eight days.

Should You Say Yes?

Although my family owns a couple of timeshares that I bought in my 20s, I generally recommend against buying one today. With so many vacation options using hotel points, discount travel sites like Groupon and timeshare rental websites, it usually doesn't make sense to lock yourself into a timeshare.

Related: Why Timeshares Aren't Always a Scam

If you do decide that buying a timeshare is right for your family, understand that you can buy them significantly cheaper on the secondary market. Websites like eBay, Redweek and Tug2.net offer thousands of listings of people trying to sell timeshare memberships that they no longer use or cannot afford.

Alternatives to Buying a Timeshare

Of course, we're all familiar with using hotel points when we travel. But did you know that you can rent timeshare units as well?

Many timeshare properties are available using hotel points. Others are available for rent on eBay and Endless Vacation Rentals .

Mommy Points recently rented Disney Vacation Club points from David's Vacation Club Rentals for an awesome Walt Disney World getaway. Going this route allows you to enjoy all of the benefits of a timeshare vacation for a given trip without the upfront cost or responsibility of annual maintenance dues.

Booking a Cheap Spring Break Vacation

For example, if you wanted to travel to Orlando for 2020 Spring Break and stay at a timeshare property, you have many options. A one-bedroom villa at the Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas, Lake Buena Vista/Orlando is available from Endless Vacation Rentals for $161 per night (total of $1,125 for the week).

The same room is available directly from Marriott for $170 per night (total $1,190).

Marriott Bonvoy members can book a week in this room for 300,000 points. The nightly rate is 50,000 points per night, but the fifth night is free as a member benefit.

In my experience, the closer you get to the travel dates, the lower the prices will be on Endless Vacation Rentals because they need to sell the package before the dates pass. Of course, specific dates can sell out.

Is It Worth Your Time?

For our family, giving up two hours of our vacation to earn a big discount on travel expenses is a good trade-off. My wife and I have the strength to decline their best offers to buy, no matter how appealing they may sound in the moment. In our experience, when you attend a timeshare presentation with a well-known name, once you say "no," they will (eventually) respect your decision.

Our family enjoyed a great four-day, three-night vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains for a net cost of $0 after attending the timeshare presentation. Plus, we now have a $100 certificate toward a future Holiday Inn hotel stay. Yes, we spent two hours of our time listening to a timeshare presentation, but it was worth it to have a free family vacation.

Have you attended a timeshare presentation to save money on a vacation? Was it worth it for the perks or will you never do it again?

2 Hawaii Timeshare Vacation Package Deals: Hilton Grand Vacations Honolulu (Oahu) or Waikoloa (Big Island) & Westin Vacation Club Kaanapali (Maui)

Updated at 7:20am PT on 4/27/22: Hawaii is very popular this year, so instead of booking the timeshare vacation package and picking your dates later, I would suggest locking in your dates when you book the package.  Here is a recent horror story of the Sheraton Kauai on FlyerTalk .

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  Last week, I wrote Stop Ignoring Vacasa Vacation Rentals! Get Awesome Condos for 13,500 Wyndham Rewards Points per Night .  In that post, I shared my recently booked Vacasa Vacation Rentals in Hawaii.  If you prefer hotels over condos, I have 2 great timeshare vacation packages available.  The first is with Hilton Grand Vacations and is available to the public.  The second is with Westin Vacation Club and looks targeted, but you can reach out to Westin Vacation Club to see if you are eligible.  I have experience with timeshare presentations  and have stayed at a few of these properties before.  I will go through the booking process of each to show you what it is like, what is included, and how much it costs.

Let’s get started with the Hilton Grand Vacations offer.   Here is the link to the landing page with the various properties.

Here are the complete terms and conditions from the bottom of the email:

Guests must purchase by May 9, 2022, to enjoy a 6-day/5-night stay for $649 plus tax in Honolulu or Waikoloa, a 5-day/4-night stay for $249 plus tax in Orlando or Las Vegas, or a 4-day/3-night stay for $349 plus tax in Los Cabos, Mexico at a participating hotel within the Hilton portfolio of brands (valued at $175–$500/night). Guests will receive 25,000 Hilton Honors™ Points (valued at $250) after attending a sales presentation. Redemption of Points is subject to Hilton Honors Terms and Conditions and valid membership.

You have up to 12 months from date of purchase to travel. Please read complete Details of Participation. As part of your vacation package, you’ll attend a two-hour Personal Preview and sales presentation, where you’ll learn how you and your family can enjoy the many benefits and privileges of vacation ownership with Hilton Grand Vacations.

Hilton Reservations and Customer Care | 7930 Jones Branch Drive | McLean, Virginia 22102, USA

The first option is at the Hilton Waikiki Beach (on Oahu).  The price is $649 for 5 nights + 25,000 Hilton Honors Points.

The second option is at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village (on the Big Island).  The price is $649 for 5 nights + 25,000 Hilton Honors Points.  I stayed at this property a few years ago and it is huge – so huge there is a monorail to get you from one end to the other.  If you want to stay at the resort all day and snorkel, kayak, paddleboard, play with dolphins, swim in the pools, go down the waterslides, etc. this place is for you.

The third option is at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club La Pacifica Los Cabos (in Mexico).  The price is $349 for 3 nights + 25,000 Hilton Honors Points.  I have not attended a timeshare presentation in Mexico or outside the US, so I am not sure what the process is like.  I have heard stories of all day presentations where you cannot leave until you sign something.  I would be cautious about this presentation.  Just something to keep in mind.

Going back to the first option at the Hilton Waikiki Beach (on Oahu), let’s continue doing a dummy booking to see what the booking process is like.  After tax, the total comes out to $765.56 for 5 nights + 25,000 Hilton Honors Points.  I value Hilton Honors Points at 0.5 cents per point (CPP), so 25,000 points = $125.  $765.56 – $125 = $640.56 / 5 nights = $128.11 / night.  That sounds like a great deal to me.  If you have the American Express Hilton Honors Aspire Credit Card , check to see if these properties code as a resort so you can use your $250 resort credit.  You can lock in your dates now or you can pick your dates later.

Updated as of 3/7/22

On the payment screen, you can use any credit card you want.  From past experience, I don’t think these purchases code as travel or Hilton, so you won’t earn bonus points with a Hilton credit card.

I didn’t go through with booking the timeshare vacation package, but the booking process seemed pretty easy.  The hardest part will probably be selecting your travel dates, which you should do as soon as possible before all the good dates are gone.

Now, let’s go over the Westin Vacation Club offer.  You can get a 5 night stay + your choice of 15,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points (worth about $75), 6 day Avis car rental (could be worth $300-$500), or $75 resort credit (worth about $75) for $999 at the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas .  I stayed at this property a few years ago on a similar (but cheaper) timeshare vacation package offer and the resort was great.  Lots of pools and easy access to the sandy beach.  Unfortunately, this offer is only available if you received a targeted preferred invitation number (PIN).  Not to worry, I can show you how to get your own PIN below.

There are 2 properties available that are side by side: Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas North and Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas.  I’m not sure which property is better, but the amenities should be same and shared by both properties.

Once you select a property, you will see 2 different accommodations: Guestroom ($999 per stay) or One Bedroom Villa ($1,348 per stay).  Assuming you pick the 6 day Avis car rental option (worth a minimum of $300), your 5 night stay would be about $140 / night in the guestroom or $210 / night in the one bedroom villa.  Both sound like great deals to me.  Remember, Marriott elite status doesn’t get you anything at timeshare properties or on timeshare vacation packages, so don’t expect any upgrades or freebies during your stay.

I spent a few minutes trying to find availability for the guestroom, but couldn’t find it.  Perhaps the website had an issue or all the days were full.  I didn’t check the one bedroom villa or both room types at the other property.  You can lock in the deal and pick your dates later for $199.

Here is the details of participation screen that you need to agree to.

Since I entered my PIN, my information was automatically filled in for me and I could not change any of the gray fields.  Like before, I don’t think buying this timeshare vacation package will code as travel or Marriott to earn you bonus points on a Marriott credit card.

If you do go with the $199 deposit, make sure you lock in your dates as soon as possible.  Each resort has very few dates throughout the year, so if you want to go at a good time, I would lock in the dates ASAP.

I am going to pass on both of these timeshare vacation packages since I currently have 3 Vacasa Vacation Rental reservations already scheduled for my upcoming trip to Maui and Oahu , but if you are looking for a great resort in Hawaii, these are great deals.  If I had to pick just 1 for a family, I would definitely go with the Hilton Grand Vacations Club Ocean Tower Waikoloa Village (on the Big Island).  You and your family will have a great time and there is so much to do to keep you entertained throughout your stay.

Just remember to stick to your guns and say no at the timeshare presentation.  I find them to be mostly interesting, with a scattering of white lies and half truths sprinkled in.  If you are familiar with Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors programs, you will probably be able to spot them from a mile away and don’t be surprised if you know more about the programs than the timeshare sales people.  One of my favorite things to do is call out their exaggerated points prices when the salespeople say that Hilton and Marriott points are worth 2 cents or more (ya, in what lifetime??).  If you have any question about either deal, please leave a comment below.  Have a great day everyone!

Do NOT book a Marriott timeshare offer in Hawaii. Some nasty reports of horrid customer service in Hawaii from Sheraton Vacation Club. Confirming packages then not having rooms once guests arrive. I’d suggest you take a look at the reports on FlyerTalk before contacting Marriott. Some real shady stuff going on there due to crazy high demand/price and them not wanting to offer rooms at this discount.

Hi Jimmy, thanks for the heads up. I looked on FlyerTalk for that thread but couldn’t find it. Can you post the link to the thread you are referring to? Thank you.

Sheraton Kauai thread

Found it here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marriott-marriott-bonvoy/800845-sheraton-kauai-hawaii-master-thread-29.html

I will add this link to the post with a warning.

Simply confirming dates isn’t enough according to one poster. Can you imagine booking the package with the rez agent and getting your dates all arranged then receiving confirmation emails from Sheraton Vacation Club that the room is arranged then getting a call ***THE NIGHT BEFORE ARRIVAL*** that the room is no longer available? Are you able to reach out to SVC and see if they can provide some insight into how this happened?

I had something similar happen with a Hyatt Residence Club timeshare vacation package a few years ago. The day I was supposed to check-in, I got a call that there was a windstorm and a big tree fell over onto powerlines and that the property didn’t have any power, so they told me I wouldn’t be able to check-in. Long story short, people on timeshare vacation packages are at the bottom of the totem poll in terms of who they care about (since they are the lowest paying customers), so we are the first people to get booted if there are no rooms available. It was a horrible experience and getting the money back took months and required a chargeback. I don’t have any contact at Sheraton Vacation Club, sorry.

I have had nothing but success doing a scattering of timeshare stays with presentations. I guess lightning could strike out of the blue like Jimmy warns though! I’ve done the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas North in 2018 when I earned Starwood points, and then in 2021 collecting Marriott points.

You have to be wary of lifetime limits that sometimes are not disclosed when you call. Holiday Inn Club Vacations only permits a maximum of 3 marketing getaway packages in a lifetime. Our friends were kicked out of their room mid vacation (or subject to the full rack rate).

I joined https://tugbbs.com in order to learn the ins and outs of the system and occasionally rent from the “Last Minute” list. Those deals can sometimes be better than the presentation offers.

Hi Jacob, I’ve had pretty good luck too. Never been to an Holiday Inn Vacation Club timeshare, but I think the closest is in Las Vegas.
