If you want to return to the same resort year on year
In the World of Timeshare Vacations, there is one company that was voted the best in the World. Step forward Marriott Vacation Club.
Marriott’s timeshares can be owned by owners that want to return to the same resort year after year, as opposed to say timesharing types that have Travel-Perks, as they prefer to travel the world, seeing a different resort every time.
Marriotts are not for the faint of wallet either, but they do deliver value for money and a second to non, vacation experience. Worth every penny new, or if you are lucky enough to find one, as a Marriott Resales Week.
With a declared revenue of $1.5 billion, more than 72 timeshare and fractional resorts and in excess of 400,000 owners and over 10,000 employees, Marriott’s are not a small developer by anyone’s standards.
Most resorts are high quality, however that comes at a cost with management fees around the $1,100 and more in some resorts. Bear in mind this is per vacation week as a cost (or points equivalent).
Marriotts Weeks in Europe are floating time and floating season. This means you own at the time of year you need and if you own at the height of the season, then you can book at any time of the year, this is called Platinum Season, Next comes Gold Holiday, Gold and Silver.The actual weeks at the resorts do vary slightly according to location.
Because they are floating time you don’t get the same apartment each time of course, so each stay is an adventure. If you buy new then you can exchange to other Marriott resorts within the Marriott Vacation Club, but all Marriott’s owners can join Interval International and enjoy the highest level of exchange to any II affiliated Resort, including other Marriott’s Resorts of course.
Unlike other famous resorts along the Costa Del Sol in Spain, The Marriott Marbella Beach Resort is proudly set a long way back from the busy Coastal Road, so enjoys a peaceful beach front location, yet has the speed of access for travel to the local attractions whilst at the same time being beach front on that sensational long sandy beach.
Entrance to the resort is past a security boom with a parking area in front of reception and the main entrance. As son as you enter reception you know you are in a World Class Resort, a super quality supermarket is there along with the full reception and upstairs a bar and restaurant. The ambiance is upmarket and befitting such a quality resort, with attentive and welcoming staff to the fore.
Eagerly the apartment suite key was picked up and the check in completed efficiently. A short drive down to my apartment block,where we parked the car in the under apartments car park, where I stayed in delightful two bedroom apartments.
The resort is beachfront and everything as luxurious as you would expect, and a host of amenities too long to list. There was even a sunbathing area for topless sunbathing descretely away from the main poolside area.
I have had the joy of two visits to the Marriott Marbella Beach Club,where I sampled the joy first hand.
