FAQ

• Why is there no availability when I call the Club, but I can book nights on websites like Expedia.com? Villa Del Palmar Resorts were built by the developer, the Villa Group. As each week is sold to Club membership, the developer gives one week of space to the Club. For example, If the developer has sold 75% of weeks to the Club, the developer owns the remaining 25% of inventory, and may sell it to wholesale companies like Expedia or other wholesalers. Therefore, you might see advertisements on-line for space when you cannot book it through the Club. • Gold Card Discount vs.VIP Card Discounts 10% Gold Cards are provided automatically for all Gold,VPA, Elite, and VIP1 members without a presentation. To receive the VIP discount card members are required to attend a members update presentation every stay they wish to obtain this card. VIP Cards are provided solely through the Marketing Department in each destination and are completely separate from membership benefits. • Upgrades subject to availability, no guarantees The complimentary upgrade is a member benefit provided if space is available in the Club Inventory upon check-in.The inventory allotments and assignments follow a very thorough process at our vacation ownership properties. For every membership sold, the Club receives the corresponding inventory from the Developer. Although the Club is allocated a significant amount of inventory, a portion of the inventory is available to the resort developer who purchased the land and built the resort.Therefore, there may be rooms available at a discounted rate through the developer but not available to the Club. • Elite Suites upgrades are only for Elite room bookings The Elite Suites are suites that have enhanced amenities and furnishing and therefore do have a different point value. • Why can’t I request a specific unit or location prior to arrival? Due to the volume of room requests at the resorts, the Club is not able to guarantee room requests prior to arrival these are subject to availability (on a first-come, first-served basis). If you should have special requirements based on a medical condition, please contact the Club so that we may make arrangements for you. • What is Home Resort (Non-Premier / Premier members only)? Only applicable to Member and Premier memberships. Home Resort is the primary use Resort.

FAQ

• What is the difference between co-owner and beneficiary?

A co-owner refers to multiple members on the contract. Co-owners can be added or removed at any time, all co-owners share an equal responsibility with the membership. A beneficiary is a ´´ tentative ´´ person that could take over a membership primary or all members were to be deceased. A beneficiary has no rights or responsibility to the membership without a statement or will from prior to member/s passing.

• What is the mandatory service fee?

The Gratuity Program consists of a $4.00 USD Gratuity charge per day and is designed for the entire behind-the-scene employees, such as Gardeners, Maintenance and Laundry staff, who make your stay at the resort the most comfortable and enjoyable as possible.This daily fee is a generally accepted labor practice within the resort industry and Mexico in particular.

• Can I use pool on multiple resorts while on vacation?

The Club and the Resort both have a policy that the “use of pools and lounge chairs is strictly limited to those actually sta yin g at a particular Resort,”. This rule is stated in the Club Rules and Regulations. Even though members are allowed on all properties to utilize services such as dining and the spa, the pool rules are enforced to ensure that the resorts have enough space for members and guests staying at the resort.

• Can I use resort facilities if I am not register at resort?

The Club Rules and Regulations state that a member shall only use the exclusive lodging rights and services associated with that Member’s Membership during the exact reserved Use Period(s) designated with that Membership and not at any other time. A User staying in one Project shall not use the services or Common Areas of any adjacent or other Project except that Users staying at Villa del Mar or Villa del Palmar may use the services and Common Areas of both of those Projects. (Section 2.01 Lodging Rights and Services of the UVC Resorts Rules & Regulations). • What is aWait List and how this works? In order to accommodate high levels of use and demand for certain period of the Calendar Year for certain Projects, the Club Manager shall have the right to establish a special reservation wait list for those days which are unavailable to the Members due to heavy booking.

FAQ

• Can I share my member benefits to my family and friends? Benefits apply to those who are on the contract and wouldn’t be provided to every guest of member visiting the resort. • Can I use my points to pay for my bill at the resort? This is not yet an option, but they are applicable to numerous services available at the Resort. • Do I have to attend an update meeting on every vacation? To receive the VIP discount card members are required to attend a members update presentation every stay they wish to obtain this card.We recognize not everyone wants to attend a presentation while they are on vacation, which is why we offer the VIP card as an incentive to those that attend. • Being Elite member with multiple independent reservations on one trip, should I get the welcome amenities on each reservation? Benefit is applied only once, even with multiple week stays. • Being an elite member, why am I not booked in an elite room automatically? The Elite Suites are suites that have enhanced amenities and furnishing and therefore do have a different point value. • Being an elite member,Why do I not receive the elite floor amenities even when I am not booked in an elite room? The Elite Suites are suites that have enhanced amenities and furnishing and therefore do have a different point value. • What happens if I run out of points (10 years) by using the accelerating program, am I still considered a member through the 50- year contract? Can I still use the “preferred points” in summer or rent ClubTime during winter season? Per contract, they are part of the club until expiration date. Can use Preferred Points, Club Time, buy special promos and getaways. • What is Optimal Use? The use of the value of the points purchased. Member is not limited to the use indicated in the “Optimal Use” as club points may be used in any type or suite, or any Season as referred to in the club Use Schedule and Points Table.
