Wyndham Timeshare

Wyndham Resorts continue in their yearlong rebranding process as Fairfield Timeshares take on the Wyndham Vacation Ownership name and traditions.

This spring, Wyndham Vacation Ownership Timeshares, the largest vacation ownership company in the world, expanded the Wyndham name in the Washington D.C., area by rebranding the former Fairfield Old Town in Alexandria. With the 2009 scheduled opening of the Wyndham Vacation Ownership timeshare resort at the Nation Harbor complex, there will be two Wyndham timeshare resorts in the metro Washington area.

Effective in April of this year, the Fairfield Washington, D.C. at Old Town Alexandria became known as the Wyndham Old Town Alexandria. In a press release issued by Wyndham Worldwide, Franz Hanning, president and chief executive officer of Wyndham Vacation Ownership said, “When we unveiled this resort, it quickly became one of the fastest selling properties in our entire system.”

The Wyndham Old Town Alexandria has 88 timeshare units and is conveniently located near access to the Washington D.C. transit system, making it a perfect location for both business and leisure use.

Investigation continues into timeshare fires in Tennessee.

In our May 29 blog, I told you about fires at the (Wyndham) Fairfield Glade timeshare resort and Oak Knoll timeshares, which are still under investigation by Tennessee fire investigators and the state fire marshal. Two fires occurred less than a week apart. The first, at Oak Knoll timeshare, did much less damage than the second, which destroyed six timeshare units at Fairfield Glade.

While I don’t have any updates about the investigation, I thought you’d be interested in reporter, Michael R. Moser’s article, that appeared in the Crossville Chronicle. According to the article (dateline May 26, 2007), Terry and Melissa Byrum were on their honeymoon when smoke and the sounds of the fire drove them from their timeshare unit, shortly after one o’clock in the morning. Melissa Byrum worried that not only did the couple lose their wallets, billfolds, and all personal identification, but they lost the list that told the couple who had given them each of their wedding gifts. The new bride worried how she would send thank you notes to her guests.

A few doors away, Bobby and Peggy Dawson of Kinston, NC, were at the timeshare resort seeking a peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy their wedding anniversary. Thankfully, Byrum, who first became aware of the fire, was able to awaken the Dawsons and help lead them to safety. And William Brown and Gene Saywill of Decatur, AL, were pleased to make it safely out of the fire, but were not so happy about losing their favorite putters, with a tee time scheduled for the next morning. Their timeshare stay was a scheduled golf outing at one of the five championship golf courses at Fairfield Glade resort.

Fire, especially a possible arson, is a frightening thought. But the good news here is that all six timeshare guests involved, got out of the fire safely. Representatives of Wyndham Resorts, the owner of Fairfield Glade timeshares, were on the scene immediately. They ensured that everyone had emergency lodging and the items they needed to get through the next few days. Wyndham representatives remained on the scene through the night and for much of the following day.

Good job Wyndham and Fairfield Glade timeshares for taking such good care of your timeshare guests, despite an unfortunate situation!

Investigators look for possible connections between recent fires at Fairfield Glade Timeshare Resort and at Oak Knoll Timeshare Resort.

A fire at Fairfield Glade timeshare resort in the early morning hours of Tuesday, May 23, is under investigation by the fire marshal and state fire investigators. The blaze destroyed six timeshare units and damaged two others at the resort community, located in Tennessee’s Cumberland Mountains, between Knoxville and Nashville.

Fairfield Glade resort village includes timeshare units and timeshare condos, privately owned homes and vacation rentals, and a range of amenities from five championship golf courses to horseback riding, boating, hiking, and a wellness spa. Oak Knoll timeshare, where a fire damaged one timeshare unit four days earlier, is also part of the Fairfield Glade resort community.

If you own timeshare at Fairfield Glade, you may wish to contact the timeshare company to learn more about which timeshare units were destroyed or damaged. Fairfield Glade is a Wyndham timeshare and part of Wyndham Worldwide vacation ownership.

The transition from Fairfield timeshares to Wyndham timeshares is underway.

In March, the beautiful Bonnet Creek Resort, located on 70 acres in south Orlando, was known as the Fairfield Orlando at Bonnet Creek Resort. Today it is the flagship property of Wyndham Vacation Ownership, and is officially known as the Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort.

Interior and exterior signage is already being changed at Wyndham Bonnet Creek timeshares and timeshare rentals. In the extensive project to re-brand all Fairfield timeshare resorts under the Wyndham timeshare name, it makes sense that Wyndham timeshares would choose Bonnet Creek as one of their first resorts. Wyndham Bonnet Creek has over 25,000 timeshare owners of its nearly 300 units, but when current expansion is complete, the timeshare resort will include nearly 1600 timeshare units. Franz Hanning, Wyndham Vacation Ownership president and chief executive officer says, “We’re extremely proud to showcase our flagship resort to the community and our timeshare owners who rank Orlando as one of their most popular vacation destinations.”

Also under construction on the property is a new Waldorf-Astoria and the Hilton Bonnet Creek Hotel. If you want to learn more about timeshare resales and timeshare rentals at Bonnet Creek, you may be interested in the great timeshare deals available at Sell My Timeshare NOW.
