"Membership was showcasing two units at the Hacienda Del Mar for the month of March. Our family had been wanting to take a vacation for quite a while and were excited to be using our membership for the first time. Because we would be getting two units through this offering, we wanted our immediate family of four (2 adults & 2 children) to stay in one of the units, and have "Grammy & Pappa" along to stay in the other. The problem however, was that each unit had a max occupancy of two. I contacted the customer service and made a request for all of us to be able to go, despite the max occupancy posting per unit. They contacted the resort on our behalf and E-mailed us back the very next day. They stated that they had great news. The customer service arranged an exception for all of us to go; (our family of 4 in one unit & the grandparents in the other) No extra charge! They also wished all of us a wonderful vacation and told us not to have any worries about our accommodations. We had our confirmation within 48 hours and are now preparing for an incredible vacation. With tax and service and everything included, our total membership cost for both units for 8 days and seven nights was $699. Obviously we checked around to see what we would have paid elsewhere. Expedia was the only major travel provider with availability at the time, and were asking $2,784.60 for the same unit for the exact week. Booking two of these units through Expedia would have cost us $5,569.20 for just the accommodations. Our first booking through membership saved us over $4800 on the accommodations alone. We then booked our flight directly through the membership and saved an additional $300 from what we would have paid through Expedia. Thank you Global Resorts!
