How Does Marriott Ownership Work?

Buyers will receive a deeded real estate interest, either a annual or biennial week of usage, in a studio, one, two or three bedroom unit at a particular five star resort of your choosing. Timeshares are purchased according to seasons, which are divided into levels of popularity. Typically the seasons are labeled as Platinum, Platinum Plus, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, although some resorts use Red, White, or Blue to list their seasons. Platinum Plus is generally the major holidays, such as Christmas, New Years, and Presidents week, and the other weeks of the year are sorted by the desirability of the vacation time. Owners may schedule twelve months out when utilizing their home resort and season, allowing for the prime choice of vacation week. If one owns multiple weeks in the Marriott network, one may reserve thirteen months out for even greater availability. Owners may also make a priority exchange, typically ten months out, to another resort within the Marriott Vacation Club network.

What Types of Resorts are Available Through Marriott Vacation Club?

Marriott Vacation Club offers a variety of luxury resorts in popular golf, beach, ski, urban, and theme park destinations! Most resorts will feature amazing on site amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centers, spas, restaurants, children’s play areas, daily activities programs for all ages, convenience stores, whirlpool spas, saunas, poolside bars, lounges, and more.

Are There Any Additional Expenses Associated with Marriott Timeshare Ownership?

In addition to the purchase price of a timeshare unit, owners will be responsible for an annual maintenance fee, paid to the Condominium Owner’s Association (COA). This fee ensures that the home resort is professionally maintained (inside and out) to the standards that are set by the Marriott Vacation Club. When a deeded timeshare interest is purchased, owners will also be responsible for a share of annual real estate taxes.
