Aruba Timeshare

Just before the holidays, Marriott Vacation Club timeshare associates in Aruba were celebrated for their professionalism and performance with a gala event. Honoring the success of those working in the timeshare industry is important, but it also serves as a way for timeshare owners, buyers, and renters to identify resorts where service and standards are likely to be outstanding.

Project Director Bettina Gonzalez, who heads Marriott Sales & Marketing Department, points out, “The Aruba team consistently ranks among the top rated departments within the entire Marriott Vacation Club International network. It is evidence not only of the quality of our tourism professionals, but the successful relationship Marriott holds with Aruba. The synergy of associate support and the skills of sales and marketing staff have yielded excellent results.”

Gonzalez credits much of the tremendous growth in vacation ownership at Aruba Marriott Surf Club, Ocean Club and increases in MVC’s Destinations program enrollment to Aruba’s success.

Leading by Example, at Marriott Timeshare

The list of honorees was long and included the announcement of the J. Willard Marriott Award of Excellence recipient along with ‘Sapphire’ top producer awards.

The J. Willard Marriott Award of Excellence was the highest form of associate recognition presented and was awarded to Marketing Executive Gisela Sa, for, “… her efforts in consistently exceeding expectations, leading by example and enhancing the lives of her co-workers, customers and neighbors with her commitment to service excellence.”

Good job Marriott Aruba timeshare team! When you excel, everyone who is a timeshare owner or timeshare renter at the Marriott Vacation Club Aruba is a winner.

The Timeshare Authority blog has been tweeting, twittering, and blogging about the HOT 100 List of timeshare resales and timeshare rentals for nearly two months. We’ve worked our way up through the HOTTEST 10 timeshares on the list and now we are finally down to the timeshare resorts that ranked number one and number two on the HOT List.

Coming in as the number 2 timeshare of the 100 properties ranked is Harborside Resort At Atlantis on Paradise Island, in the Bahamas. This Caribbean timeshare resort is known as one of the most amazing properties anywhere in the world and it is no surprise that it makes the Sell My Timeshare NOW HOT List year after year.

Harborside Resort At Atlantis Timeshare is part of the Starwood Vacation Network and is one of six properties that make up the Atlantis resort Paradise Island complex. When you vacation at Harborside Resort At Atlantis, you have complementary access to all of the facilities and attractions, including the six-story Mayan Temple water slide that drops you—where else—but seemingly into a pool of live sharks.

Whether you choose to swim with the dolphins, snorkel with the marine life, test your luck at the casinos, or indulge yourself at the spa, there is practically nothing you can imagine in a Caribbean timeshare vacation that isn’t available in grand scale at Harborside Resort At Atlantis.

The Number 1 Timeshare on Everyone’s List

Marriott’s Aruba Surf Club is located on the sparkly white sands of Palm Beach, Aruba, looking out at the beautiful Caribbean Sea. This popular Marriott timeshare affords timeshare owners and timeshare guests access to the on-site Stellaris Casino and the Aruba Marriott Resort, as well as the Mandara Spa, waterfall pool and Las Vegas-style entertainment.

With your choice of one, two, or three-bedroom timeshare units, all with separate living and dining areas, plus fully equipped kitchens, Marriott’s Aruba Surf Club is a fantasy destination for family vacations, honeymoons, or just that special escape you’ve been promising yourself. Best of all as a Marriott timeshare owner, the Aruba Surf Club doesn’t have to be a once in a lifetime event; instead you can choose to vacation here year after year, taking advantage of the quality and dependability that is recognized in Marriott timeshare.

Where is the closest “foreign” vacation destination for many US travelers? Why the islands of the Caribbean, of course! And the turquoise waters, white or pink sand beaches, along with affordable prices for entertainment and dining make the Caribbean and Caribbean timeshares a popular choice for North American vacationers as well as those from Europe and South America.

Now, the Karma Royal Group, Asia’s largest independent resort developer, is catching the Caribbean holiday fever, too. Karma Royal Group has announced the development of Karma Bahamas, an upscale Karma Resort and the Asian timeshare company’s first Caribbean timeshare resort property. Through an agreement with Mango Bay Bahamas, owners of Little Harbour Island, this prime property will be developed as a Karma Resort Caribbean timeshare. The island is accessible by a five-minute boat ride or ferry from Harbour Island, where you find elegant private homes and villas, many of which belong to internationally known celebrities and Hollywood stars.

Caribbean Timeshare Luxury

Construction on Karma’s luxurious Caribbean timeshare is underway with the marina in place, and several timeshare villas already complete. At build-out, the Karma Bahamas Resort will feature deluxe three and four bedroom timeshare villas; smaller one, two, and three bedroom townhouses; and hotel suites. On site will be a Karma spa, gym, clubhouse, hotel amenities, and numerous restaurants.

Although this beautiful Caribbean timeshare is not yet complete, there are many ideal Caribbean timeshare resales and Caribbean timeshare rentals that offer affordable luxury and outstanding vacation opportunities including: Aruba timeshares; Bahamas timeshares; and US Virgin Islands timeshares.

Last week, Sell My Timeshare NOW released the HOT 100 List for timeshare resales and timeshare rentals. Let’s take a closer look at some of the trends the report reveals, especially about the HOTTEST 10 timeshare resorts – those popular ten at the very top of the list.

For the second consecutive year, WorldMark by Wyndham timeshares rank number 1 in the number of offers received to buy or rent. These timeshares are multi-destination ownership, meaning that your WorldMark by Wyndham timeshare gives you a choice of nearly 60 luxurious timeshare resorts in the US (including Hawaii), Mexico, Canada, and Fiji.

Marriott timeshare (Marriott Vacation Club International) claimed four spots on the HOTTEST 10 list. Marriott’s Aruba Surf Club in Palm Beach, Aruba was number 2; Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas, Newport Coast, California was number 3; Marriott’s Grande Vista, Orlando, Florida was number 8; and Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club, Maui, Hawaii was number 9.

One of the few changes in the HOT 100 List, this year over last year, is that Marriott’s Grande Vista in Orlando is new to the HOTTEST 10, while Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club in Oahu, Hawaii, was number 10 on last year’s list but slipped to number 11 on this year’s list.

By geographic destination, Orlando timeshare dominated, including the Marriott property already mentioned, and two other popular Orlando timeshare resorts: Orange Lake’s West Village, which ranked number 6, and Hilton Grand Vacations Club at SeaWorld International Centerdo, new to the list at number 10.
