Next year we will with friends and family to Lagunamar so we will book a 2 bdr and a 1 bdr. Can everyone have the owner's discount at the restaurants? I am thinking to keep both reservations in my name (we check in the same day and we will arrive before the others) and pay the deposit for both condos at check in. Is this the easiest way?

We took friends this January and we each had 1 bedroom units. I booked the rooms and kept them in my name. They provided a credit card for any incidentals. They got the discounts, no issues.

I’ve seen the discount available to all “owners” — defined as the actual owners, guests staying in the villa with the owners, or exchangers (Staroptions and II)

as far as I know, the owner discount is not for II exchangers, unless they are Vistana or Marriott owners.

I’ve done my home reservation 2bd plus an II getaway. Kept them both in my name and have gotten the discounts.

If you remember, at the restaurant when your friends paid a bill (charged it to the room) did they say your name (since the room was in your name) or theirs?

They didn't go to any restaurant on site. I do know my friends wife booked a spa day and was told there was no discount for that.

I’m almost positive it is linked to the room not the name. When we check in they take all our passports and names for the room. We get as many discount cards as I want from the concierge. Usually we don’t have to show them though because it comes up when we give our room numbers. My friends can sign their own names since they are listed on the room. We are usually together in a group though.

I got the discount many years ago when trading in from Marriott to WLR. No affiliation at that time. Friend went a couple years ago on a getaway I got them through II and they got the discount. It seems the discount is based on a timeshare stay vs. stay booked through a hotel site (Marriott.com, etc)
