Housekeeping Services at Marriott Resorts

Housekeeping Service Intervals at Marriott Vacation Club Resorts

 

Planning a week-long vacation at a Marriott Vacation Club resort? One important consideration for many travelers is the frequency of housekeeping services offered during their stay. By understanding how housekeeping services are handled across different Marriott Vacation Club resorts, you can better plan for a comfortable (and clean!) vacation.

Below, we’ll explore the housekeeping intervals region by region and highlight some additional options available to enhance your stay.

Understanding Housekeeping Frequencies

Housekeeping services at Marriott Vacation Club (MVC) resorts vary depending on the location and property type. From daily tidies to mid-week cleanings, here’s a breakdown of what to expect during a week-long getaway.

Continental United States (Non City Collection Locations)

At most Marriott Vacation Club resorts located within the continental U.S. outside of City Collection resorts located in major urban city centers, there is no included mid-week tidy service. These resorts typically follow a home-away-from-home vacation model where guests manage their space during the stay. Some properties do offer an optional cleaning service for an additional fee, but it’s a good idea to verify this in advance.

City Collection (Pulse Locations)

City Collection properties, previously known as Marriott Pulse resorts, offer daily housekeeping or “tidy” services. These urban destinations prioritize providing hotel-like accommodations, making them a perfect choice for travelers who prefer regular cleaning during their vacation.

Hawaii Resorts

Heading to Hawaii for your vacation? MVC properties in this region include a mid-week tidy service as part of your stay. This option ensures your villa or suite gets a quick refresh during your visit, helping you enjoy your tropical escape with ease.

Caribbean Resorts

Housekeeping practices at MVC resorts in the Caribbean mirror those in Hawaii. Guests at Caribbean properties can expect a mid-week tidy, giving you a chance to reset mid-trip without worrying about housekeeping logistics.

European Resorts

For those exploring Europe, MVC properties stand out by offering daily housekeeping services. This level of service ensures that your accommodations are consistently maintained throughout your trip, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the local culture and less time focused on tidying up.

Asian Resorts

MVC resorts in Asia prioritize daily housekeeping as well. Whether you’re staying in bustling urban centers or tranquil resort locations, you can count on clean and refreshed accommodations every day.

Australia and Bali

Similar to Asian resorts, MVC properties in Australia and Bali also include daily housekeeping services. These destinations aim to provide a high standard of care and convenience, ensuring your living space remains pristine throughout your stay.

Westin and Sheraton Vacation Clubs

Westin and Sheraton timeshare properties, which operate under the Marriott umbrella and are able to be booked using Abound Club Points, do offer mid-week tidy services. This housekeeping option strikes a balance between self-sufficiency and convenience for guests staying a week or more.

Additional Towel Exchange and Fee-Based Services

While the specific housekeeping intervals vary, many MVC resorts offer alternatives to enhance your stay. Towel exchange services are available, although these practices depend on the individual resort. Be sure to check with your chosen destination to learn about towel exchange options at your location.

For guests seeking enhanced cleanliness or additional housekeeping during their stay, some locations provide optional mid-week cleaning services for an additional fee. Pre-pandemic, this service was widely available across Marriott resorts; however, not all properties have reinstated it. If this is a must-have for your vacation, it’s worth confirming availability when making your reservations.

How to Prepare for Your Stay

It’s important to consider the housekeeping practices of your chosen resort when packing and planning for your vacation. If you’re visiting a property that does not offer daily housekeeping, most resorts offer extra toiletries or cleaning supplies in your villa to help you maintain a fresh environment during your stay. Conversely, properties with daily tidy services offer a more hotel-like experience and fit well for those focusing on spending most of their trip exploring a large city.

Wrapping Up

Marriott Vacation Club resorts cater to a wide range of traveler preferences, with varying housekeeping intervals based on location and property type. Whether you prefer the independence of managing your space or the convenience of daily tidies, Marriott resorts offer options to suit your needs.

No matter where you’re headed—be it Hawaii, Europe, or somewhere closer to home—you can count on luxurious accommodations designed for comfort and enjoyment at Marriott Vacation Club resorts.
