Great Resort Vacations Testimonials and Reviews

Me and my husband used our gold package for our anniversary trip to Branson. We went to Silver Dollar City, it brought back a lot of memories of family trips when I was a kid. We stayed at the Wyndham at the Meadows it was really nice, close to the lake. We used the hot tub almost every night. The price was way better than what I found online. Only thing was check-in took a bit longer than I thought, but other than that it was a really good trip.

We have used our points for a few trips now. We did stay in a really nice condo at Bear Lake with my sisters family. The property was nice, very clean. We like to book online ourselves so I haven’t really used the concierge services they told us about. But overall, it has been a pretty good experience with GRV.

We recently went to Moab, Utah and explored the parks. Arches was incredible, its crazy how red everything is! We did save money by booking the Worldmark condo there with our membership, it was cheaper than the hotels. I will say I have a hard time navigating the member site, so I end up calling the members services number and they help me. But this has been a big help for saving money when our family travels. We are hoping to go to Orlando next year, very excited to go to Disneyworld!

There’s no way to test the product before purchase, so it was a leap of faith relying on testimonials and a product demo. Look at the FAQs and go to more than one product presentation if you don’t already know someone in the club. Or if you’ve been to a timeshare property before, you know what to expect out of the condos. If you can afford an annual trip without going into debt, this has been a good way for us to use the same amount to go to a similar trip for less, and add more, smaller trips in the year. Really, it’s not for everyone. If you look at sales and coupons already, you’re the type to find the right vacancy with a flexible schedule. Not for planning weddings or dropping in during reunions, at least not the condo deals. Hotels and cruises, treat like coupons. Not amazing savings but at least 15% lower, since they price match and go lower if you find the same listing somewhere else.

We just booked a 4 bedroom 3 bath in Orlando, 5 minutes from Magic kingdom for $483 for 7 nights. I’ve never been able to travel like this because it was so expensive. Can’t wait to check it out!

Not gonna lie, I always double check prices before I book. I found the same cruise cheaper online, so I reached out to GRV. They matched it right away and gave me an extra 10% back on the difference. Totally exceeded my expectations and made me feel taken care of 🙌 can’t wait to take the cruise to share that experience as well

I was able to plan a week long trip to Greece for under $2k including flights! This had been one of my wife’s dreams and now because of Great Resort Vacations we can go saving so much! Thank you!!!

I just wanted to share about premier escapes. It really works for us. If you’ve already gone to some of these properties, you’ll know right away if it’s a great deal. My parents used to have a timeshare, and it took them 10 years to pay off the debt, just to stay in the club side of Marriott. I see Marriott and sometimes Disney condo stays, but I check almost weekly. Availability for those ones can be a bit tricky, so book as soon as you see it. If you’re okay with staying at less fancy, less known or private properites, you’ll pay closer to $400 for the week. We stayed in Kissimmee, which is 10 min from Disney. It was less than $500 for the condo when all was said and done. We only have 4 in our family, but it was for 6. Our membership price was less than our last trip to Dinsey.

When you call and make your “FREE” cruise plans, they get your deposit $798 right NOW. Then you wait 7 months for someone to call you with your itinerary. Nothing is available unless,… you pay $900 more on top of your $798

We canceled all together due to the fact that we can travel for less by planning it ourselves. And getting on the cruise that was “full”.

We’ll see if we get our money (deposit) back…

P.S. we bought into their Great Resort Vacations.

My sister would go on short vacations once every couple months to places we usually drove through on our way to California. Or really close by places like Park City. It never made sense to me why she would spend the extra money on a dinky trip. She always invited us because she said the condos could fit both our families, or that she would just book another condo for our family. We finally went on an invite to St George. It was so great to have a kitchen and bedrooms and pool house access. I guess we didn’t realize she was using private timeshares along with Worldmark condos. We paid her $450 for our own unit for the week using her membership. We decided it was worth getting our own membership last September. We got a promo trip to Vegas when we joined, but that was with a 3rd party. Anyway, we’ve gone on our own staycations just like her family, and the more I do my own deal searching, the more trips I’m planning. We usually spend close to 10k on a big trip once a year. Now we are doing our big trip to Orlando at Club Orlando Spas for $480 in August, and we’re also doing one of the kids sail free cruises to the Mexican Riviera with Norwegian in November for a week. We still have 2-3K left in our budget to go on the smaller dinky condo ones all over the place. The only negative is you have to find the deals, the concierge isn’t going to look daily for you. I see the value, but everyone should just look themselves.
