Perhaps the best thing about
choosing a weekend getaways resort over a traditional hotel is the extras outside of the
room. Many weekend getaway resorts offer a variety of entertainment,
dining, and recreational options for their visitors.
The overall feel is quite distinct:
a weekend getaway stay could be equated to borrowing a friend’s condo; a private
residence club visit is more like renting the largest suite at a five-star resort, then adding a full kitchen, and
few more bedrooms. Services in private residence clubs start with a dedicated concierge who will help
plan your trip and book any activities for you. These activities may consist of spa visits, golfing,
hiking, white water rafting, theater tickets and skiing as just a few examples. Weekend
getaway resorts service level expectations are similarly elevated.
Remember, weekend getaway
resorts are not a real estate investment but an opportunity to access vacation programs, at budget prices, even though it appears you are sharing a specific accommodation.
Rather than thinking of a weekend getaway as a real estate investment, it is
better to think of it as a purchase such as a car. And, like a car, it is likely depreciate in
value.
So whatever your
need to take a weekend break, consider renting from a private resort owner. You'll save money and enjoy the luxuries too. You won't
regret it!
