Timeshare resorts with hotel amenities

Explore These Marriott Timeshare Resorts That Offer Nearby Hotel Amenities

 

Timeshare vacations offer unique advantages over traditional hotel stays, providing guests with spacious accommodations, in-room kitchens, and in-unit laundry facilities. While timeshare resorts offer everything you need to enjoy a vacation, what if you could access even more amenities? What if you could enjoy additional restaurants, spas, and more?

Fortunately, certain timeshare resorts are co-located next to hotels of the same brand, which allow owners and their guests to use amenities at both their timeshare resort, and the nearby hotel.

Benefits of Co-Located Properties

Whether you’re a fan of diverse dining options, poolside services, or vibrant nightlife, these co-located resorts can enhance your vacation experience. Notably, many Marriott properties feature full-service Starbucks outlets, making it easy to grab your favorite coffee.

An added benefit of these co-located properties is the ability to charge restaurant and shopping purchases to your room, potentially earning additional Marriott Bonvoy or other branded reward points.

A few considerations to be mindful of:

  • Some hotels might impose blackout dates when timeshare guests are restricted from using hotel facilities, typically during peak travel times, weekends, or holidays.
  • Wristbands may be required at some hotels; check with the timeshare resort’s front desk for specifics.
  • Access to certain facilities might be limited, and services such as spa access may incur additional fees.
  • Shuttle services between the timeshare property and the hotel may not always be available; check below for resorts that offer shuttles.
