Vacationbetter.org, the vacation website of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) has rolled out a new look and feel to its website. Focusing on bringing you more stories directly from timeshare owners and timeshare vacationers, the new website design for Vacationbetter.org now includes on its homepage, video testimonials directly from owners.

The website describes it saying, “The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) is partnering with its members to bring the passion of the owners to other vacationers through its Timeshare Fans Program. These Timeshare Fans will explain – in their own words – why timeshare is a better way to vacation.”

The new look of the website puts the emphasis on timeshare the way the world should be seeing it: as a valued choice for family vacations, with spacious accommodations and easy vacation planning. The redesign also helps showcase how many, many families find timeshare vacations to be a tradition that they anticipate and enjoy year after year. And to help get more timeshare owners share the real truth of timesharing, Vacationbetter.org has made it easy for owners to add their photos and written or video stories to the website.

Millions of Happy Timeshare Owners

ARDA and Vacationbetter.org see their new-look website as part of their commitment to their Timeshare Fans program, through which they can help show the world the enthusiasm and passion that so many timeshare owners feel for their vacation ownership products.  With nearly 8 million timeshare owners worldwide, there are a lot of raving fans. ARDA and many others in the timeshare industry think it’s time you heard more about and from these happy owners.

And what better place to start telling the story of satisfied timeshare owners than at Orange Lake Resort in Orlando, Florida… as the owners in this video explain…

Earlier this week, The Timeshare Authority blog shared with you that Holiday Inn Club Vacations is adding a seventh timeshare resort to its network of outstanding properties (Holiday Inn Club Vacations Expands with Marco Island, Florida Timeshare).

The new addition, Sunset Cove, a 36-unit, Marco Island, Florida timeshare, is already a great resort but will become even more special as Holiday Inn Club Vacations rolls out its planned renovations.

The timeshare units at Sunset Cove will undergo a total of $1.7 million in upgrades. Planned changes call for property and exterior renovations already intended by the resort’s condo association, along with improvements to the interiors of the timeshare units. Holiday Inn Club Vacations member/owners and guests will enjoy ceramic tile flooring in the living and dining areas (perfect for life at the beach); detailed wood ceiling mouldings; stainless steel appliances; granite countertops  and glass tile backsplashes in kitchens and baths and other luxurious finishes and appointments.

Planned in-room amenities will include flat-screen televisions in the bedrooms and in the kitchen area; bedding and bath appointments from the Signature Collection brand; and even a Signature Collection-monogrammed bathrobe. The pool deck area will also be refurbished using upgraded patio chairs and poolside furnishings that coordinate with the Signature Collection color palette.

Marco Island Timeshares and Holiday Inn Club Vacations

Marco Island timeshares are already some of the most distinctive beach destination resorts. Sunset Cove Resort will now make it easier than ever for Holiday Inn Club Vacations members to enjoy this popular Florida Gulf Coast destination.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations has added its seventh timeshare resort destination with the addition of a 36-unit resort on the Rio waterway in the City Center District of Marco Island.

Don Harrill, president and CEO of Orange Lake Resorts, the timeshare developer that manages Holiday Inn Club Vacations properties, explains,  “As part of our alliance with IHG, we said we’d grow Holiday Inn Club Vacations in places where our Holiday Inn Club Members have said that they want to vacation. Our Members have asked for another drive-to destination in Florida, and Sunset Cove Resort delivers just that, with a unique and upscale experience for all owners and guests who visit.”

Beautiful Marco Island, located on Florida’s southern Gulf Coast, is an extremely popular Florida timeshare destination with pristine beaches and a unique but elegant island lifestyle. The new Holiday Inn Club Vacations Sunset Cove Resort offers three-bedroom timeshare villas ranging from a spacious 1667 to 1900 square feet, with views of either the Gulf of Mexico or Smokehouse Bay.

In keeping with Holiday Inn Club Vacations standards, the timeshare villas will be renovated to include such details as granite countertops and fabrics and furnishings that are consistent with the company’s Signature Collection décor. Amenities for Holiday Inn Club Vacations owners and their guests include a pool with sundeck, bar, boat dock and fitness center. The property is part of the RCI Registry Collection^® (Resort Condominium International).
