As many states start to lift restrictions, resorts and hotels in some areas are beginning phased re-opening plans. Disney also recently announced their plans to re-open, making more families and individuals more comfortable with going out again. Will you be planning to travel again this year? Take a look at some of the timeshare resorts re-opening.
Wyndham Destinations Updates
For Wyndham owners, Wyndham is re-opening timeshare resorts in phases starting May 26, 2020. Depending on the state and resort, you will notice some will open later than this, or with limited occupancy and strict cleaning standards. If you have a reservation with a Wyndham resort, Wyndham will let you know if your vacation will be affected via email. You will not need to call to cancel, and all points or credits will be returned to your account within 72 hours of notification.
Furthermore, Wyndham is prioritizing owner reservations currently. Many guest reservations are being canceled due to limited occupancy and safety guidelines.

Most Hilton Grand Vacations resorts in Florida, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah, California, Colorado, New York, and Washington D.C. are open now, or opening by the end of June.

Safe Travels
Holiday Inn Club Vacations will also be implementing a new program that will literally check off every box to make guests feel safer and more comfortable to travel, post-COVID. President & CEO Tom Nelson even took his family to vacation at Holiday Inn’s South Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach to ensure the quality of the new Safe Travel program.
You’ll know if you’re the first to walk into your villa, with new door seals to confirm the villa has been cleaned and uncontaminated. Fewer people will be in shared resort spaces, like pools or lobbies. Holiday Inn has also implemented virtual check-ins, so each guest can have limited contact.
Marriott Vacation Club
Marriott Vacation Club is promoting its “Next Level of Clean” with its resorts beginning to re-open. Amenities may be closed or limited while safely opening properties in phases. They are also allowing lenient cancellations for owners.
Reservations more than 60 days away from arrival can be canceled without penalty, and you will receive your full refund of Marriott points. If you have a reservation coming up within the next 60 days, your points will be returned to a Holding Account. If your points in a Holding Account are expiring any time in 2020 or 2021, the expiration deadline is extended through December 31, 2021.
Marriott weeks owners will receive an Interval International week deposit in their account for future use, with a reduced exchange rate of $99.
Marriott Vacation Club Resorts Re-Opening
As Marriott Vacation Club resorts begin to accommodate guests again, owners or exchanges are given priority before other guests. Marriott’s Aruba Surf Club and Ocean Club resorts will be open only for owners and exchange guests until June 15, 2020. The same goes for Marriott’s St. Kitts Beach Club.
Currently, all Marriott Vacation Club resorts in Orlando are open with limited amenities and availability. As international travel is on hold, most MVC international resorts are closed until further notice. Additionally, Hawaii requires any persons entering the state to self-quarantine for 14 days. This is in effect until June 30, 2020.
