The best way to find out about the reputation of a vacation club is to ask someone who is a member or who has experienced vacationing there. They will gladly talk about their experience and you can decide from there whether the place is worth spending money for membership. Word of mouth is still the best way to discover a club’s reputation. Be wary of people who sing praises to get you to join. They may just be after the referral fee.
The best bet for vacation club memberships are people who love to travel. They love to travel in a group. They are passionate about a certain sport. Surfers will look for a vacation spot where they can surf. Those who love to ski will love a place high up in the mountains. They also love the feeling of being an insider, getting privileges that non-members will not get.
