Exchange options

CAN'T USE YOUR WEEKS ?

You have many options when you decide not to use your week yourself. Every week we get questions from owners about the best choice of alternatives. There is no right answer.
You need to look at all the options and your own needs and see what works for you.

And remember to let the resort know what is happening with your week ! Email us with the information about who will be arriving and when. Then we will be prepared to make your guest welcome !

Here's a quick overview. Follow the "more info" links to get........... MORE INFO (duh !)
