As an Elite owner in all three programs, I thought I would share my thoughts on these three top companies. The industry has been consolidating for a few years now and I believe these are the top 3 companies on an ongoing basis. I don't think any of these will buy one of the others in the near future. And they each have their own "branding".
In this video, I will provide the costs to stay in a studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom unit for each company. I base the costs on my maintenance fees per timeshare company. Since these are based on my maintenance fees, your costs might be slightly different. However, I think they will be relatively similar. I also provide my favorite facts about each company and end with a subjective ranking at the end. Enjoy!!!
