All Vacation Deals

A vacation deal, also called a vacpack or preview package, is a deeply discounted resort stay offered by timeshare companies. In exchange for the reduced rate (often 60-80% below retail), guests agree to attend a timeshare sales presentation during their stay. There is no obligation to purchase anything.

Vacation deals typically range from $59 to $499 depending on the destination, resort quality, and length of stay. Most 3-night resort packages fall in the $99-$199 range. All-inclusive international packages (like Cancun or Punta Cana) may range from $299-$499 for 5-night stays.

Yes, vacation deals are a legitimate marketing strategy used by major resort and timeshare companies like Westgate Reservations, Hilton Grand Vacations, Marriott Vacation Club, and Club Wyndham. They offer discounted stays to introduce potential buyers to their properties. These are real resort stays at real properties.

A timeshare presentation is a sales pitch where the resort showcases its vacation ownership program. Presentations typically last 90-120 minutes, though some may run longer. You are shown the resort amenities and given a sales offer, but you are under no obligation to purchase. You keep all package perks regardless of your decision.

Requirements vary by provider but commonly include: minimum age of 25-30, minimum household income of $50,000-$75,000 per year, being married or cohabiting with a partner (who must attend), valid government-issued ID, and a major credit card. Some packages have additional requirements. Always check the specific deal's terms before booking.

Compare deals by looking at the total package price (not per-night), what's included (resort credits, meals, tickets, loyalty points), the resort quality and location, trip duration, and any eligibility requirements. Use filters on VacationDeals.to to narrow by destination, brand, price range, or number of nights.

If you skip the required timeshare presentation, you may be charged the full retail rate for your stay instead of the discounted promotional rate. Some providers may also charge a penalty fee. It is important to attend the presentation as agreed to keep your discounted package pricing.

Generally, no. The person who books the package must be one of the guests who stays at the resort and attends the presentation. The booking name must match the guest's ID. Some providers allow you to transfer a package, but this varies and often involves a transfer fee.

Direct resort deals come straight from the timeshare company (like Westgate or Hilton Grand Vacations) and are for their specific properties. Broker deals come from third-party companies (like BookVIP or Monster Reservations Group) that have partnerships with multiple resorts, often offering more destination variety and sometimes lower prices.

Vacation deals are available year-round, but you can often find the best prices during off-peak seasons — for example, September-November for Orlando, or midweek stays at any destination. Holidays and summer months tend to have higher prices or limited availability. Booking 2-4 weeks in advance typically gives the best selection.
