I have talked about Accommodations Certificates before and while the choices can have a lot to be desired, there have been some significant "diamonds in the rough". I was recently targeted again for 2 additional Accommodations Certificates from Interval International which allow you to receive up to a 3 bedroom unit for $289 exchange fee for an entire week. The destinations or available timeshares for these weeks are generally not prime weeks or prime resorts but if you are diligent, there can be some amazing deals. I was searching for some opportunities using my certificates and came across the Grand Solmar at Rancho San Lucas which had almost every single week of June available in a one bedroom unit. Cabo in June should be a decent time of year and while it will be hot, it is prime vacation time. Here is the current availability that I am seeing: This resort has been on my radar for a while and it looks like a great property. Here are the reviews from Tripadvisor where it gets almost a 5 star rating. As you can see, the TOTAL COST of this entire week in a 1 bedroom unit is ONLY $289 for 7 nights or about $41 per night. This property DOES NOT require an all inclusive meal plan but per the terms and conditions, it is available for a supplemental fee. You need to be very careful when you book these accommodations certificates as some properties have MANDATORY all inclusive fees which can easily add $1,000's to your reservation.
Conclusion:
This is a stellar deal to travel well, in luxury and cheap! Timeshares definitely have their issues but deals like this continue to show me (and hope you too) that timeshares are not all that bad. I have made this offer before but haven't actually had success but I generally don't use these accommodation certificates since I plan our travel so far in advance that these "last minute" items don't work for our travel plans. However, if any of my readers would like one of these units or others, I would just have them pay the $289 fee plus the $69 guest certificate and you can book one of these weeks. Make sure to leave your comments below and if you are interested in one of these weeks, please indicate what week and I will respond. Alternatively, you can e-mail me directly at [email protected]. Thanks for reading and let me know your thoughts on this deal! |
