The Ah-Ha! Moment came when Sherri Weeks, General Manager at ResorTime.com realized how much money people could save vacationing in condo rentals compared to hotels. The next step was developing an easy, on-line system for timeshare resorts to make their vacant room nights available so people could make nightly reservations.
In 1999, ResorTime.com launched its first online reservation site making nightly timeshare rentals available to everyone. It translated to a more comfortable, affordable, and overall enjoyable vacation experience.
For timeshare owners, ResorTime.com provides the only Worldwide Bonus Time Network, which allows its owner-members to access exclusive owner-only rental rates throughout the network of properties. Timeshare owners are not the only ones who benefit from the ResorTime.com site. Nightly reservations are also available to the general public with no tours required.
Partnering with some of the best timeshare companies, including Grand Pacific Resorts, Starwood, Wyndham, Diamond and many more, ResorTime.com has become one of the largest and most established timeshare rental services in the world. It has become a one-stop shop for more than one million room nights in 104 destinations, with rates starting as low as $79 per night.
Timeshare rentals have quickly become a preferred source of affordable vacation accommodations, especially in a struggling economy. With full kitchens, separate bedrooms and living space, the value guests receive from staying in a timeshare condo rental gives them the flexibility to use their vacation dollars on local activities and attractions. It is also ideal for business travel, last-minute getaways, and special occasions.
Why are more people looking for, and reserving, timeshare rentals online? Sherri Weeks, General Manager of ResorTime.com believes it is the convenience and flexibility that timeshare rentals afford.
“We have seen a significant increase in our customers booking multiple units and creating de facto family reunion vacations. They love to relax, cook dinners together and really take advantage of quality time in a living room that serves as a central gathering place, a space that is largely absent from most hotel options,” she said. “Timeshares have the space and features to make family and friend travel extremely comfortable — multiple bathrooms, laundry facilities and full kitchens are all common at timeshare resorts.”
Other popular attributes found at timeshare resorts are the activities and friendly atmosphere. For instance, some popular luxury properties offer cooking classes, surf classes, nature hikes, health and fitness group activities, and more. With sound systems, DVD players, fireplaces, balconies and all the comforts of home, families can treasure each others' company without looking for outside entertainment.
Value isn't the only explanation for the success of ResorTime.com. The level of service they provide seals the deal. The ResorTime Travelers Advantage program boasts such components as no booking fees, no cancellation or change fees and 24/7 emergency check-in support. According to Central Reservations Manager, Daniel Zwack, ResorTime.com takes particular pride in providing a high level of personal service.
“We care for our guests as if they were our own friends and family. It's reassuring to know we are here for them, even if they never need us,” he said.
This same commitment has earned ResorTime.com an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. The company is also active in numerous philanthropic endeavors in the community and is a member of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. ResorTime.com is currently partnering with local schools and sports programs to donate a percentage of related reservations back to the community entities while supporting the local economy through tourism.
ResorTime.com is pleased to offer a 10-percent discount to Chamber members. Call 877-477-7368 for more information.
