Answer 1

Hi ES,

Timeshares have been an unbelievable way to travel over the past 25 years but Timeshares are becoming a 'thing of the past'.  Timeshare companies and resorts have realized that Travelers need the following:



More flexibility      

More Choices      

Less upfront cost

So let me continue answering this question very factually:

Let me compare Global Resorts Network and Timeshares very objectively:

                                   Traditional Timeshare  

Price                                                     $3,500us +

Term                                                 100 years

Home Resorts                                       1 traditionally

Maintenance Fees                    Yes - extra fees

Guest Weeks for friends                       No - guest weeks

Restrictions on Travel                                            Yes

$298 Hot Weeks             Extra through RCI

Online Booking                         Very complicated

Discounts on Air & Cruise          Extra through RCI

Closing fees                                Yes - closing fees

Exchange fees                           Yes - exchange



Global Resorts Network  

                                  

Price                           $2,995us                         

Term                          100 years                           

Home Resorts               5,000+                         

Maintenance Fees   No extra fees                 

Guest Weeks for friends    Unlimited *                   

Restrictions on Travel      No  -Travel Anytime & Anywhere                                     

$298 Hot Weeks   Unlimited per year         

Online Booking             Yes - included             

Discounts on Air & Cruise Yes - included         

Closing fees                No extra fees               

Exchange fees            No extra fees               

Now…what if you could stay in the same 4 and 5 star resort, in the same 1,2 or a 3-bedroom condominium without the huge upfront cost or maintenance fees?

It is possible through a Global Resorts Network, a premium Vacation Club offering their members to join for one low upfront cost of $2,995!



Global Resorts Network offers over 6,000 home-based resorts to choose from with no exchange fees ever. There are no huge upfront costs, no point system to figure out and no maintenance fees ever!

You really can't beat that...

Answer 2

The biggest difference is having more options and saving more money.

Timeshares are a wonderful place to stay but the financial plan is not the best. Other than the large, often huge upfront cost, as well as the additional fees, your travel destination is generally the same and your travel is limited to the week(s) you purchased.

Global Resorts Network has an affordable one time membership purchase fee and you have an online catalogue with over 5,000 high end resorts to choose from.

Basically you can rent any given week, to any given resort within the Global Resorts registry, and pay less for that week than what a Timeshare owner pays in annual maintenance fees.

Well taking a quick look at GRN it looks like you pay X dollars either yearly or a one time and  you get points or days to use where ever that GRN has connection ( looks like world wide) most people use this type of option as they can vacation in a different place every year etc, HOWEVER  where you get to stay and when is NEVER a guarentee.

Ownership is advantageous as you "buy" a week or 2 and if they are "fixed" you get those same weeks every year and generally the same unit (this will depend on where you purchase) but the downside is you stay at the same place year in and year out .

Id say head on over to redweek.com and poke around there or even TUG.com (sites dedicated to timeshare information, not bound to any timeshare resort or company)
