What Makes a Timeshare Different Than a Hotel?

In the past timeshare resorts used to be ultra-exclusive, members-only type establishments for which travelers paid a premium for excellent service and luxurious accommodations. The line between timeshare and hotel has started to blur over the past ten years, and many timeshare resorts now offer rooms by the night or week to non-owners. In fact, a great way to decide whether or not you think purchasing a timeshare at a particular location would be a good choice for you is to reserve a room outside of a timeshare exchange company, instead using a commercial hotel website or calling the resort directly. For example, timeshare resorts are generally far higher in quality than most hotels, and offer a wide array of owner amenities and services. Timeshare owners also have special privileges for use of sporting, fitness and recreational areas, as well as swimming pools, spas, tennis courts, golf courses, horseback riding or skiing. Marriott, Hilton and Disney have all recently decided to try their hand at timesharing, and the involvement of these major hotel chains will certainly play a role in the evolution of hotels becoming more like timeshare resorts. read more
