Rising Hotel Rates Make Hawaii Timeshares a Great Deal January 22, 2012
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : Bluegreen Resorts, Hawaii timeshare, Marriott Timeshares, Sunterra/Diamond Resorts, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentLast year’s figures for Hawaii’s hotel rates and occupancy levels demonstrate once again the value of Hawaii timeshare.
According to an article in the Pacific Business News, occupancy levels for Hawaii hotels are holding steady at around 73%, which is way up from what it was a few years ago in the midst of the recession. Those higher visitor levels are driving increases in hotel rates, with the average room rate now at $192 a night, up 8.7% from this time last year.
Multiplied out over seven nights, that’s $1,344 a week for the average cost of a hotel room. And who knows what you’d get for an average hotel room in Hawaii. With occupancy rates climbing, it’ll get even harder to book a hotel room at a decent rate.
By now, you’ve probably figured out where I’m going with this.
Hotel rates will continue to escalate as resorts look to recoup the lost revenue of the last few years. Most will give you a basic room with a bed, hopefully a coffee maker, maybe a bar fridge. At the average price, don’t expect much more.
On the other hand, Hawaii timeshare rentals can provide a one-bedroom unit with full kitchen and the resort perks you enjoy from upscale establishments. If you don’t believe me, check the BuyaTimeshare.com website by clicking here.
You’ll find Marriott timeshare rentals on Kauai for as little as $850 for the week! Other brand names such as Wyndham timeshare, Bluegreen and Diamond have timeshare units for rent for under $1,000 a week.
Even units at one of the most renowned resorts in the world, the Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas, are renting for about $200 a night.
I bring all this up because timeshare rentals continue to be the best vacation value in the world. When you consider what you get for the money, especially compared to a hotel, it’s a no-brainer. But less than 10% of the public rents a unit for vacations, so we need to get the word out about the best kept secret in the hospitality sector.
Again, don’t take my word for it. Check out our website for yourself by clicking here.

Renting Pet Friendly Timeshares Now More Popular Than Ever March 23, 2010
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Bluegreen Resorts, Disney, General, Hilton Grand Vacation, Marriott Timeshares, New Features, News & Events, RCI, silverleaf, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Westgate Timeshares, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentIf you agree that when on vacation your pets require the same quality accommodations as we do, you will be happy to know that there are dozens of resorts available. You do not have to rely on friends and family or a kennel service to care of your furry companions. BuyATimeshare.com has dozens of pet friendly timeshare resorts in inventory. Included is a list: arranged by exchange companies Interval International (II) and Resort Condominiums International (RCI).
As an important part of our family, pet friendly resorts are becoming popular throughout the world. Often a necessity among today’s mobile population, BuyATimeshare.com can find the pet friendly vacation to suite a large family or an intimate getaway. The needs of a pet vary and there are some details to consider when planning your next vacation:
Make sure there is enough room for pets to play at the destination. A dog needs room to roam, walk, and… vacation. Nearby trails or mountains, fields and ponds are all great for dogs. Urban settings may be more suited for cats and small dogs as the bustle of a city may be too much for some dogs.
If your pet has a medical condition, they may need extra consideration. Vacationing far from home may not be the best choice for pets with illness, or limited. Always contact the resort to inquire about any breed or weight restrictions when planning a vacation.
When traveling abroad, it is important to plan well-ahead of time. If vacationing in another country, be sure to contact both the airline and the resort to learn all about their pet regulations. Some airlines allow pets as carry-on, it is important to research all guidelines before booking.
Well-socialized dogs that enjoy meeting new friends and exploring new environments will typically like a vacation away. An aggressive or nervous temperament may not be best to travel. Sometimes traveling is not the best way for your pet to vacation. Before making reservation, determine the resort’s rules about pets.
Establish communication with the resort and understand what “Pet Friendly” means to them. Often times the pets are welcome in the suites, sometimes it means there is simply onsite kennel service. Expect a “pet deposit” to cover any potential damages to the resort. Remember that Pet Friendly is for your convenience and is not for everyone; make sure it is not too much for your pet to travel.

Timeshare Resale Market Keeps Big Brand Resorts Selling and Rented March 19, 2010
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Customer Comments, Fairfield Timeshares, General, Hilton Grand Vacation, News & Events, RCI, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentBuy A Timeshare.com has helped thousands of people sell, buy and rent their timeshares. Even though the economy changes, the consumer will always need a place to buy inexpensive vacation properties, and a place to liquidate the ones they already have. With an all-out recession wearing away at timeshare developers, resort and occupancy remains high. Companies like Wyndham and Marriott have stated revenue is down, but they are still able to thrive as vacationers continue to use the time at the resorts they have paid for.
Occupancy rates are still much higher than projected, and while many resort developers are witnessing a dive in sales, Buy A Timeshare.com has been the solution for record-setting amounts of people looking to secure a bargain vacation. Thanks to innovations in online marketing and search engine optimization, this company continues to be the dominant force in the worldwide timeshare resale industry. The most sought-after brands in the world are available online for a mere percentage of what the resort will sell them for. With Bluegreen, Shell, and Hilton properties all selling for thousands of dollars less, it is no wonder the resale market is so popular!
Analyst at Bloomberg.com recognized the resale market and Sell A Timeshare.com as an alternative to paying too much for a timeshare property. A rental property could cost as little as $800-$1000 for a week at a luxury resort! Consumers are more computer savvy than they were a decade ago. A large portion of the sales decline big brand developers are seeing is in-part, due to the success of the resale market. Millions of people are exposed to the internet daily. Online sales are how today’s buyer purchases nearly everything. Why attend a presentation and buy for full price when the resale market can provide the same properties for a percent of the retail price?
Wyndham Worldwide, the largest seller of timeshare vacations in the nation, has had some success recovering from the recession. And while the sales are down, people are still flocking to there magnificent resorts everyday. Analysts at JPMorgan explained that Wyndham will cut 40% of its timeshare sector in order to improve cash flow and stock prices. Marriott has also taken action to battle the harsh recession. By cutting prices, development and perhaps even selling some of its undeveloped land, the hotelier expects to harvest what it can from its timeshare industry.
Chris Woronka, an analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities said “the main obstacle for the industry is that there will be a semi-permanent reduction in demand because developers would sell to people with relatively low credit scores. That won’t be possible anymore. This decline is a first for the industry since 1975. As tighter credit and slowed consumer spending has been affecting every facet of business. A loss of 6.9 million jobs since the recession started in December 2007 has made every consumer weary of spending.
Howard Nusbaum, president of the ARDA said the market will remain challenging for the next 18 months as research shows that timeshare has lost its appeal and its affordability. Though the downturn has hit tourism particularly hard, timeshares, due to its pre-paid nature, is better equipped that most to weather a downturn. The good news, he said, is that timeshare owners are still vacationing, and occupancy remains strong.

Wesley Kogelman Returns to the Mike Bonacorsi Radio Show January 5, 2010
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : Bluegreen Resorts, Customer Comments, Disney, General, Marriott Timeshares, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Wyndham Timeshares , 1 comment so farReturning to the Mike Bonacorsi Radio Show was BuyATimeshare.com president Wesley Kogelman live to discuss timeshares as a financially beneficial opportunity. As his first conversation with Mike explored points-based timeshare systems and the use of exchange companies, his most recent broadcast discussed demographics of buyers and current trends in the industry.
Mike Bonacorsi, a Certified Financial Planner, broadcasts his show every Tuesday at noon Eastern Standard Time on WSMN Radio AM 1590 or online at http://www.wsmnradio.com/ and on his website http://www.mikebonacorsi.com/. His show is based on his award winning book, “Retirement Readiness; Creating Your Vision, Knowing Your Position, & Preparing for Your Future”, and his twenty years of experience in the financial world has provided listeners with a wealth of information.
First touching on the current demographics of timeshare owners and buyers, the two compared the cost of vacation homes vs. timeshare ownership. Kogelman explained that contrary to a vacation home, the use of a timeshare suite can often cut lodging costs in third when traveling. They discuss some of the recent changes in the hotel industry, such as the use of ‘points’ and exchange companies like RCI or Interval International to provide a flexibility that can match today’s traveling trends.
In addition, Kogelman revealed his plans for a new office opening in Las Vegas. Just as Tampa, the birthplace of BuyATimeshare.com, is a vacation hot-spot immersed in fractional and timeshare ownerships, Las Vegas continues to be a major destination. All big brands have been established in Vegas for decades, with millions of people returning each year.
Kogelman explained the many benefits of the secondary market for timeshare resales and rentals, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of timeshare ownership and rentals. Listeners have discovered the benefits of working with BuyATimeshare.com for resales and rentals. The Live Chat feature on the website is a spectacular feature created to equally educate both buyer and renter about timeshares and the secondary market.
Over the past ten years of business, BuyATimeshare.com strives to continually educate the community of timeshare owners, renters, and buyers. With press releases, radio shows, and the utilization of newer technologies such as Twitter and Facebook, the firm is dedicated to accessible marketing and open communication between the industry and its consumers.

Timeshare Resale Market Keeps Big Brand Resorts Rented and Sold November 30, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Hilton Grand Vacation, Marriott Timeshares, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentAs the economy shifts, we as consumers are changing the way we spend. Millions of people buy and sell their commodities online, to find the best deal and the largest pool of buyers ever. Today, buying your vacation getaway is no different. The resort developers aren’t changing their ways. The convenience of the resale market has become a popular stay-at-home solution to buying and renting a vacation property—for a fraction of the price.
The big hoteliers are still relying on the age-old tactics to lure the consumer into a persuasive sales presentation with airline tickets and freebies for bait. Internet-based solutions like BuyATimeshare.com are saving vacationers thousands of dollars on week stays at luxury resorts.
This advertising firm has been specializing in timeshares for more than a decade. BuyA Timeshare.com and Sell A Timreshare.com provide the necessary exposure for today’s owner to liquidate their properties online. This marketplace has made timesharing easy, affordable and fun again. Shopping from home in a no-pressure, stress-free buying environment will save you money and will make the vacationing experience so much more enjoyable.
Analyst at Bloomberg.com has recognized the resale market at Sell A Timeshare.com to be successful in finding impressive resale bargains at top brands in the hospitality industry. A rental property could cost as little as $800-$1000 for a week at a Marriott resort! Though sales figures at the resorts have dropped significantly since the onset of the recession in 2008, owners are still vacationing and occupancy remains strong. Tight consumer spending and a dry credit market have made the sale of any high-end property very difficult for the suave salesman.
Wyndham has reported that it will cut 40% of its timeshare sector in order to improve cash flow and stock prices. Marriott has taken action to battle the harsh recession. By cutting prices, development and perhaps even selling some of its undeveloped land, the hotelier expects to harvest what it can from its timeshare products. The lack of available financing has forced many of the 180 million new owners every year, to look for other way of enjoying these resorts.
Two New Wyndham Affiliated Timeshare Properties in the Cayman Islands!! October 13, 2009
Posted by JConnolly in : Fairfield Timeshares, News & Events, Timeshare Resource, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentThe popular Wyndham Worldwide brand is now making its mark on the fabulous Cayman Islands!

Sell a timeshare.com Recognized for Proven Success in the Resale Market October 1, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Fairfield Timeshares, General, Marriott Timeshares, New Features, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentAn article by Bloomberg.com has cited SellATimeshare.com, a domain of BuyATimeshare.com, as a successful alternative to paying more than $30,000 on your next vacation property. With an extensive inventory and a marketplace of owners looking to sell their timeshares, the timeshare resale website has helped millions of buyers, renters, and sellers. Competitive prices and the convenience of buying from home have made BuyATimeshare.com the world leader in the business.
As consumer spending has slowed, it has made things tougher for the developers to sell off inventory. Vacation-goers are skipping the sales presentations and buying for sale by owner from people who are looking to sell for less. Consumers are searching the internet for bargains. Without having to spend thousands of dollars more than they have to on a timeshare week, consumers are searching sites like BuyATimeshare.com and SellATimeshare.com for bargains on the same luxury suites buyers and renters are used to.
Developers and giant hoteliers are feeling the squeeze of the recession as folks are abandoning retail for the resale market to secure themselves an inexpensive vacation property. Wyndham Worldwide, the largest seller of timeshare vacations said it would cut nearly 40 percent of its timeshare sales. Marriott International, the largest hotel chain in the U.S. said it would cut prices and halt development as a result of a $760 million pretax.
Timeshare developers are witnessing a steady drop in sales but millions of people are still buying and staying in these properties every year. Usage of these luxury resorts hasn’t fallen below RevPar projections, since the resale industry is becoming the only way for today’s traveler to find a Marriott or Wyndham property for such low prices. Even memberships with RCI and Interval International are available. A $46,000 Marriott timeshare property is available for $25,000, or even $18,000 for sale. A week at these same properties can be rented for only $1,400 to $1,200 on BuyATimeshare.com.
BuyATimeshare.com Proves its Strength in the Timeshare Resale Industry September 17, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, General, Marriott Timeshares, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentAlmost through the year 2009 and many companies have not been able to recover from the slow economy. Even fewer businesses are able to make a profit in such a stifling economy affecting every sector of commerce. How is it that a young company like BuyATimeshare.com is able to flourish in the vacation and leisure industry? As articles in both Perspective and BusinessNH Magazine have noticed this relatively small firm, it has quietly helped thousands of people liquidate their vacation properties in a time when money counts most.
As the financial world evolves, more companies are beginning to rely on advances in technology to keep conjure business. But few have the ability to outlast a tight economy when consumers have cut spending out altogether. BuyATimeshare.com has released their current statistics of confirmed offer numbers. This means that a specialist calls and confirms each offer that is entered and only the legitimate offers are counted.
Proving the strength of BuyATimeshare.com, records show the site sees between 10,000 and 15,000 thousand unique visitors per day and receiving between 500 and 1000 offers every day. As BuyATimeshare.com continues to emerge as the top timeshare resale company, who would have guessed old-fashioned hard work would drive commerce through the economic crises of the new millennium?
If you are looking for a reputable timeshare resale firm, you can go on to BuyATimeshare.com and download the report in confirmed offers for free. Hopefully the release of this report and the success of BuyATimeshare.com will urge other companies in the timeshare resale sector to focus on integrity and help us bring a new reputation to the timeshare industry.
