What
is ResorTime?
ResorTime.com is a new concept in vacation rentals -
now available to the public! We are the largest and
most established, rental reservation service in the
Timeshare Industry, offering travelers discounted condo
rentals around the world, without having to take a tour.
We acquire our condo rentals from resorts that have
open condo availability either because a Timeshare owner
cannot use their chosen week or they have listed their
week for rent. That's why ResorTime.com gets such great
rates. Now anyone can enjoy the space and convenience
of a luxury resort condo and save up to 50%*
a night at hundreds of exciting vacation destinations.
» Why
resort condos make better vacations
Will
I have to take a timeshare tour if I stay at a timeshare
resort?
No! You have no obligation to take a timeshare tour.
Many of the ResorTime properties are not in sales any
longer. You can use your luxury resort condo rental
just like any other vacation condo. Just enjoy the space
and convenience of the condo and the savings!
Are
these timeshare vacation rentals?
A majority of these properties are resort timeshare
rentals. ResorTime.com has begun adding hotels in areas
that the demand has surpassed the timeshare rental availability.
How
is the ResorTime.com reservation system different from
other timeshare rental sites?
ResorTime.com is an accredited travel web site with
an established business that began over 10 years ago.
We have a process of checks and balances to insure that
the people that are reserving the condo through our
service are getting exactly what they asked for. Our
service is secured, meaning that we take full responsibility
that the condo will be available, set-up during the
dates you reserved them for. In addition, we monitor
all the payment processes to insure the people reserving
and making the payment are getting a legitimate resort
condo. While we all want condo postings to be exactly
what they say, and that the payments between two parties
are honorable, there can be errors or inconsistencies.
Not so with ResorTime.com.
Do
I have to be a timeshare owner to get great rates on
these timeshare rentals?
No you do not. Timeshare Owners enjoy the lowest rates
that ResorTime.com offers, however ResorTime.com has
made it possible for the General Public to get great
rates on luxury resort condos without being a timeshare
owner with the Free or Premier Memberships. The Premier
Membership allows members to enjoy discounted rates
up to one year in advance.
How does ResorTime.com
pick the resorts they represent?
ResorTime.com does not offer nights for rental from
just any random hotel or resort. These properties are
part of an affiliation, and have been extensively screened
to meet stringent ResorTime.com customer satisfaction
requirements. We only promote properties that we are
infinitely familiar with, so we are confident that our
members will enjoy their time at the resort. Because
of the long-term association, it also allows for the
lowest possible rates for our members.
How
does ResorTime rate their resorts?
The star rating system is compiled through a detailed
Timeshare resort and hotel rating system, evaluating
resort hospitality, amenities and condo amenities. As
an example, the condo amenities are rated regarding
the number of bedrooms available, the spaciousness of
the condo, designer decorations, and full size equipped
kitchens, sleeper sofas, fireplaces, stereos and views.
Input is developed via customer comments, ResorTime.com
Customer Care Representatives and ResorTime.com Management
inspections. Along with the Timeshare resort star rating,
all resort hospitality services and amenities are detailed
in the resort profile. » Star
rating guidelines
Will
there be maid service in the condominium?
All resorts have different cleaning schedules. Additional
maid service after check-in is generally available at
a nominal cost.
I am a timeshare owner- must I request the same unit
type and season that I own at my home resort?
No. ResorTime is a rental program, not an exchange company.
You may request any time or unit type you like, based
on availability, of course. You can also add days to
your exchange week with ResorTime.com. And, you can
use ResorTime.com to take mini-vacations as well. Stay
a day or stay a week.
What
do I get with a ResorTime.com membership?
Enjoy Member only specials, be advised of last minute
availability or members promotions through our weekly
member hot deals newsletter! Members enjoy our dynamic
website to easily view resort details, check availability,
book online or Wait
List.

have in excess of over 20,000 condo nights available.
While a resort may be sold out today for a given date,
they may have an additional 10 condos that become available
tomorrow for that same date. If you see "sold out"
on a date that you want to reserve, don't give up! There
are 3 ways to reserve your vacation.
- Bookmark www.ResorTime.com and check back for availability.
- Premier Members and Premier Timeshare Owner Members
can also use the Wait List
Notification Service and receive an email immediately
when the requested dates for the chosen resort or
vacation area become available.

travel dates are within in the next five days, call
Resort Reservations at 877.477.7368.
Q. I bought a timeshare
because of these great deals I will get as an Owner.
Do I get better prices than the general public or are
we all paying the same price?
A. Owners of Affiliated Resorts automatically
receive the best rates, and must be booked within each
resorts reservation windows (usually 1-14 days in advance
of stay). Owner Rates average $90 per night, where the
General Public Premier Discounts average $125 per night.
Owners can still receive a discounted rate outside of
the window, however they would need to upgrade to the
Premier Membership.
Members can also call our experienced
Travel Counselors at (877) 477-7368 for assistance and
ideas on great vacations.
There are three membership types.
Standard Membership
This is available
to the general public. Average rental rates are $150-$275
a night for a luxury one bedroom resort condominium
that sleeps four. Reservations can be made up to one
year in advance. Compare these discounted rates to a
hotel, where you may be paying about the same amount,
but do hot have the space and convenience to really
relax like you want to.
Premier Membership
This rate is also available to the general public. Premier
members can book up to 1 year in advance, receive an
email Wait
List Notification for any resort or vacation area
and enjoy deep discounts on nightly rates, plus additional
Premier-only area discounts and promotions. Average
rentals are $90-$145 a night for a luxury one bedroom
resort condo that sleeps four. ResorTime.com gets these
special rates from the resorts due to our unique relationship.
There is a nominal fee of $29.95 a year to participate
as a Premier Member, which usually pays for itself in
savings the first night.
Owner Membership
This rate is available to Timeshare Owners. Average
rentals are $75-$110 a night for a luxury one bedroom
resort condo that sleeps four. ResorTime.com was a benefit
of their initial timeshare purchase where Owners received
an on-going rental discount to affiliated resorts. Timeshare
owners are aware that these rates are usually only available
with short notice, average of 1-21 days prior to desired
check in date.
