Using your week

We always look forward to welcoming members back to their home away from home. Your unit is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation and each resort has an array of activities and amenities for you to enjoy.

Your Royal Resorts fixed unit fixed week membership offers you flexibility to use your week in a number of other ways. You can lend your unit to family, friends or workmates through the Owner Loan program or rent it using the Rental Program offered by Royal Club Vacations or independently. You can take advantage of the Internal Exchange program to stay at another Royal Resort or at a different time of year and if you would like to go somewhere different, you can deposit your unit, or part of it, in an international exchange network and stay at resorts around the world.

Renting your Unit

If you are unable to travel one year or own multiple weeks, renting your unit is an option. Listing it yourself can be time-consuming, stressful and you may have to pay for advertising and other costs. Enrolling it in The Rental Program will save you time and give you access to a team of representatives to work on your behalf.


With a call center, an online reservations center at RoyalReservations.com , multiple channels to promote your unit to thousands of prospects worldwide, travel industry alliances and diverse marketing strategies to increase the number of nights rented, the Rental Program is an effective tool for members to use whenever they wish to rent their unit.


Enrolling your unit in the Rental Program online at www.TheRentalProgram.com is easy, free and flexible.

  • List the whole unit or a portion of it (except for units at The Royal Cancun)
  • List it for seven nights or a few nights
  • List it for one year or multiple years
  • There are no enrollment, marketing or listing fees

Internal Exchange

If work or family commitments force you to change your travel plans one year, the internal exchange program is another option. You can enroll your unit or part of it (the one-bedroom suite or the lock off room) in the convenient online Interval Servicing Co. Internal Exchange program and enjoy your vacation later in the year at your home resort or one of the other Royal Resorts


The Internal Exchange program gives you the opportunity to use an interval in a week other than the time you purchased or even to stay at a resort other than the one you own. Royal Resorts has four clubs in world-famous Cancun and one in Playa del Carmen at the heart of the Riviera Maya. Alternatively, you can travel further afield to the Caribbean islands of Curaçao, St Maarten or Aruba to stay at resorts managed by Royal Resorts Caribbean (independently owned resorts with systems by Royal Resorts).

Lending your Villa

If you want to give your children a surprise vacation or lend your unit to friends or workmates, you may do so. Use the online Owner Loan program managed by Interval Servicing Co. to register your guests and let your resort know they are coming.


To deposit your unit in the Owner Loan program, go to My.IntervalServicing.com (log in required). You’ll get automatic email confirmation that it has gone through.


By using the Online Owner Loan program you can:

  • Process an Owner Loan for any of your contracts for the current year or for next year
  • View all the Owner Loans you have already processed for your contracts
  • Enter the names of all the guests for your Owner Loan on the same page
  • Update dates or guest information for your Owner Loans, including adding new guests or deleting others if travel plans change
  • Cancel an Owner Loan reservation

When you select your contract and the year for an online Owner Loan, the system will display the new Owner Loan Matrix, showing availability and Owner Loan reservations made for your week. This makes processing your Owner Loan even easier as you can see if you have already deposited the unit in any other program such as the Internal Exchange or Rental program, something that renders them ineligible for an Owner Loan.

International Exchange

If you would like to go somewhere different one year, why not use an international exchange network to travel the world? Royal Resorts is affiliated to the RCI vacation exchange network and if you are an RCI member you can trade your unit or part of it and stay at nearly 4,500 resorts in exciting destinations around the globe.


RCI Weeks


Trade your Royal Resorts week through RCI Weeks to stay at another resort of your choice in a variety of leading beach playgrounds, historic cities and natural wonders around the world. Whether you are planning a ski break in the Rocky Mountains, a family vacation in Florida, a golfing getaway or an escape to the sun in the Caribbean, Mexico or the South Pacific, RCI Weeks has plenty of options to choose from.

To get started, browse the online resort directory at www.rci.com and check availability for your preferred travel dates before depositing your week.


If you trade your week for another week with a lower trading power value your left over trading power is returned to you as a Deposit Credit that you can use towards a second vacation.


Another option is to trade up by depositing multiple weeks and combining them and/or any Deposit Credits you might have for greater trading power. By doing this, you can trade into a resort that may have been out of your reach before, or vacation at a different time of year.


With RCI Weeks you can also exchange your week or Deposit Credit for a cruise. Thousands of cruises are available on all the world’s major routes.


You can deposit weeks in RCI Weeks two years before you wish to travel and up to 14 days before the start date of your interval. Depositing your week earlier gives you more trading power, more vacation options and of course, more time to plan.


When your exchange is accepted, you pay a preferential exchange fee, which is lower than that charged to regular RCI members.


RCI Points


If you are a Signature Club Platinum member you choose each year whether you want to use your fixed week at Royal Resorts or deposit it in exchange for Signature Points. If you decide that you would like to travel somewhere different one year, you can convert your Signature Points into RCI Points and use them worldwide (RCI exchange fees apply).


With RCI Points, you decide where and when you wish to travel and the type of unit accommodation you are going to need. You can save Points over several years or even borrow them from the next year. Points can also be used to purchase cruise vacations and other services.


Another advantage of RCI Points is that you can see how much trading power you have and the number of Points you will receive for your week before depositing it in the exchange program. Once you have found a resort you can check the number of Points you need to complete the exchange before actually making the decision to deposit.


You can search for resorts listed exclusively in the RCI Points network or use your Points to stay at properties in the RCI Weeks online directory.


www.rci.com


Through Signature Exchange members also have access to Extra Vacations Getaways and Last Call Vacations worldwide available through RCI without exchanging any of their weeks.


Signature Club Elite and President’s Circle members have their own international exchange program The Registry Collection.


Interval International


Some Royal Resorts members are still members of Interval International and may still use the I.I. network to take care of their international exchange needs, providing they continue to pay the fees established by Interval International.


Can I be a member of RCI and I.I.?


Some of our members have a subscription to both RCI and I.I. vacation exchange networks. They pay their annual membership fees and the appropriate exchange fees whenever they use the services offered by both companies. This gives members the best of both worlds and even more exchange options.


However, please be aware that if you own multiple weeks you may not deposit the same week in both vacation exchange systems.


Please note that you must be a member in good standing at your resort and have paid your Club Service Fee to be able to use your interval in any of these ways.
