Whether you’re considering joining Royal Holiday or you’re already a member, it’s normal to have questions. We’ve gathered answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand how the club works and make the most of your membership.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A ROYAL HOLIDAY MEMBERSHIP?
A membership is a travel style designed for those who want to travel with certainty about the prices they are paying year after year.
Through the use of Holiday Credits, as a member, you get priority access to hotels in different destinations at preferential prices, without having to depend on public availability.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VACATION CLUB AND A TIMESHARE?
Although they both share the goal of making vacations easier, the main difference is flexibility. A timeshare gives you a set week in a specific destination. With a credit membership, you can choose where to travel and how many credits you want to use. You can decide between taking a short getaway or a long trip depending on your available credits.
Having a membership gives you the opportunity to choose between different destinations, plan your travel dates, and select the type of experiences you want to enjoy during your vacation, all while having greater freedom.
WHAT IS ROYAL HOLIDAY?
Royal Holiday is a Mexican vacation club with more than 40 years of operation and over 100,000 members around the world. With an incredible hotel network, Royal Holiday gives you access to more than 1,000 destinations internationally where you can use your membership.
Through a model of Holiday Credits, instead of paying market price for every trip, you can get a membership with holiday credits which you’ll be able to use for different bookings.
HOW ARE HOLIDAY CREDITS USED?
Your holiday credits serve as an internal currency that allows you to make hotel reservations, book different experiences, or access extra benefits, depending on your membership level.
At Royal Holiday, you can use them through our official website or call center, where you will be able to explore available destinations, travel seasons, and hotel types. Simply access the website or contact your travel advisor, choose a destination, dates, and hotel, and start planning your trip. Our system will automatically deduct the corresponding holiday credits.
IS IT HARD TO FIND AVAILABILITY?
Availability depends on the destination and the travel season. Many destinations tend to become fully booked during holidays or peak travel periods such as Spring Break and Christmas. However, as a member, you have the advantage of making reservations before booking dates officially become available to the public.
This is why, during holidays and long weekends, we recommend making your reservations ahead of time. More time means more options. Learn about the real stories of Royal Holiday members here.
Members who travel more frequently also tend to make their reservations two or three months in advance.
If there is no availability in the destination you want, our travel advisors will always be happy to provide alternative destinations to help you still enjoy a great vacation.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN’T TRAVEL ONE YEAR?
If you are unable to use your membership during a given year, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible so we can explore some of your options. One of the most common options is passing your credits to the following year but you can also transfer credits to a friend or family member. Remember that you can always contact your Holiday advisor and we’ll help you find the right solution for you.
