The Resort Directory



The first thing most people do when they receive their RCI Resort Directory is to go through it and choose which resort they want to stay at - just like you would with a normal holiday brochure.
I would say this is completely the wrong way to go about things as you will be quickly disappointed and, hence, disillusioned as you can virtually guarantee what you choose will not be available.
Availability of weeks depends very much on people depositing their weeks i.e. they put them up for exchange. Weeks can be put into the Spacebank up to 2 years before the start date.
The best way to go about things is to check availability by either going online to the website or phoning up. You will need to know potential travel dates and unit size.
Once you know what is available, then use your Resort Directory to compare the available resorts. I always type the resort names into a search engine to see what other information I can find out. I can even locate some of the resorts on Google Maps and see the view from above.
Just remember, that you can't usually book into a unit that is bigger than the one you own. If you bought a studio, then that is the only size you will get. Having said that, stranger things do happen, and I once received a 3 bed apartment in exchange for my 2 bedroom one.
