When you make a Vistana reservation for a 2BR lock off, it will show up on Marriott.com as two separate reservations. One for each side.
That is good to know. Thx
I booked 2 bedrooms at SBP one a lock off and the other a standard but did not know they were in 2 different phases ( not familiar with the resort) and my family got split up but the resort was kind enough to fix it. She told me that she would mention it in their meeting if anything can be done so one can choose the phase you want at booking but that some phases require more staroptions.
You have always been able to tell the two types at SBP with staroptions. They always listed either plantation or palmetto after the unit type or maybe because I own there and was looking at home priority. It is easier to see that they are different now.
Does your email confirmation show view?
My VSN reservation confirmation also shows which phase I booked. “Phase I” is listed on both my VSN and my home resort reservation confirmations. The home resort reservation is guaranteed, not so sure about the VSN yet. I guess we will see when I check into the resort in July. I would think allowing owners to choose a phase at booking will cut down on the amount of room requests by owners.
I just checked my three bedroom lock off resie and Marriott.com only shows one reservation for the studio portion.
Interesting. Is this a home resort reservation, HomeOption or StarOption?
Home Options made at 12 months out. On this trip I have 5 reservations but the one mentioned is the only 3 BR lock off. All the other reservations are correct.
It seems they do HomeOptions and perhaps StarOptions differently. My statement was based on someone else's reporting of reservations for home resort weeks reservation. I understand weeks lock off reservations show up as two separate reservations on Marriott.com.
It is a home resort reservation. My “currency” is HomeOptions. As you know, StarOptions can’t be made until 8 months. Unlike flex, HO can only be used at your home resort. So it should be the same as any owner making a home resort resie.
I still think though that there is a fundamental difference on the back end in how a home resort weeks reservation is made vs how a Home Option reservation is made. Home resort weeks reservations is actually two different contracts and two different units in the system.
That's a bit of a lottery because I find there are definitely some OV units that are worse than some of the IV ones.
Is this for a guest name change? When I made a reservation the other day it had an old bonvoy number that I never used. I need to change it to my current bonvoy.
Was that Bonvoy number an old number you had, or did it perhaps belong to a prior owner of one of your mandatory weeks?
That’s a great question. I do remember having a bonvoy number that was a second number that wasn’t used. I assumed it was that one.
You have to do a new search each time or select multiple resorts.
