When you join Global Resorts Network, or GRN, you get lifetime access to 4- and 5-
Star resorts all over the world at up to 80% off regular advertised pricing.  Rates
range from $298 - $699 per
Unit per Week.  This is an important distinction.  
Rather than paying $800 per person, double occupancy you can take the whole
family and pay a Total of only $298 for the entire week.

(Here are examples of
real, current savings on highly rated resorts.)


How much does the Membership cost?

The membership comes in two flavors – Gold or Platinum.

Gold Membership* is for three years only and costs $1,500

Platinum Membership is a Life Time Membership and costs $2,995.

If you check the link above for examples of savings you will find savings ranging
from around $700 up to as much as $2000 for a single week of vacation.  Take a
two-week vacation and you could re-coup the entire membership fee in your first
year and enjoy 4- and 5-star luxury resorts at deep discounts for the rest of your
life.  At first $2,995 sounded like a lot to me, but the ROI is quick!

(* You may upgrade from Gold to Platinum for an additional $2,000)


What are the Benefits of Membership?

Financial – Platinum Members enjoy savings for life and the membership is
transferable.  Platinum Members may recoup the initial investment many times over.

Extra Cash at Vacation Time - For the average family just buying four airline
tickets for $2,000 and paying $1,750 for a one week rental is about all the annual
vacation budget can handle.  Add a rental car, meals, and a couple of evenings out
while you're on vacation and you can spend $5,000 very easily.  How much more
could you do with the family on vacation if you could save $1,300 on the room?

Convenience – Shopping for a vacation on-line can be an exasperating ordeal.  It
takes a lot of work and you never know exactly who you are dealing with unless it
is one of the major travel web-sites that usually charge high rates.  With GRN you
have on-line access to 5,000 premium resorts from a single trusted resource – at
very low rates.

Guest Passes – With the Platinum Membership you have the option of giving Guest
Passes to friends and family.  There is no charge for the Guest Pass itself, and your
guests will pay the same advertised rate of $298 - $699 for their week-long
vacation.  This means a Platinum Member can take friends and other families with
them on vacation, or even use the Guest Pass as a gift!

Luxury Accommodations – Beyond saving money, simplified research and booking,
and the ability to give Guest Passes, Global Resorts Network provides the
assurance of high quality resorts in desirable locations.  After all, it’s taken them 20
years to build this impressive global registry of resorts for their members.

Unlimited Vacations – Platinum Members may take as many vacations in a
calendar year as they wish.  Members can book a week or two at the beach and
then take a week or two skiing in the winter.  There is no limit except that there
are only 52 weeks in any calendar year.  You could spend an entire year resort-
hopping if you wish and you will still pay the same $298 - $699 per week.

No Maintenance Fees or Week Exchanges – Unlike timeshare, GRN does not
require that you pay an annual maintenance fee for any units.  Timeshare owners
can pay $25,000 for their single week and then pay as much as $500 per year, or
more, in maintenance fees.  If they don’t want to go to the same resort every
single year then they have to submit their week to an Exchange system and
struggle to find a good property elsewhere that fits their timetable.  Timeshare
owners who have purchased only one week of vacation for $25,000 may not be
able to take a second week without spending a large sum of money.  GRN
Members enjoy unlimited vacation weeks, booked when they want, where they
want, starting at $298 per week.

Travel Locally – With over 650 resorts in the United States alone, the opportunity
for you to drive to a great resort nearby and enjoy an inexpensive vacation on
short notice is now a reality  If you could drive your family to a nearby resort and
spend a week relaxing in 5-star luxury for only $298 you might take more
vacations.

Business Travel – Business travelers should always check to see if there’s a GRN
property close to their destination.  If you’re travelling for 2 days or more then it
will be cheaper than a cramped hotel, and a lot more fun!


Will Membership become over-subscribed?

Some people worry that if Global Resorts Network gets too many members then all
the discounted vacation rentals will be booked.  Let’s do the math:

Let’s say the average resort has 100 units available.  Some are larger, some are
smaller, but for the purposes of this example 100 is a simple number.

  100 Units X 52 Weeks = 5,200 vacation weeks available per resort

  5000 Resorts X 5,200 Vacation Weeks = 26,000,000 Vacation weeks

There are two points worth noting here:
1) GRN Supply will continue to outstrip Membership Demand
2) GRN will continue to expand capacity as they have done for the last 20 years


What are the restrictions on Travel?

1) Check-in is usually Saturday
2) Full weeks only
3) You should book at least 72 hours in advance (Reservations can be made up to
one year in advance)
4) If the resort you desire is fully booked GRN will find a neighboring resort for you
at GRN rates or wholesale rates
5) Platinum Members may not stay at GRN resorts for more than a total of 52
weeks* in any calendar year

* The 52-week restriction does NOT include Guest Passes.  Since there are only 52
weeks in a year it is not possible for a member to spend any more time on vacation
in a single calendar year!


Further Research

What you have read to this point is the all the basic facts surrounding Global
Resorts Network, and I hope it has been useful.  If you’d like to make any
comments or suggestions then please email me – I would value your input!  

Understanding GRN is a Global Resorts Network affiliate company and that’s
because the facts surrounding Global Resorts Network are compelling – it makes
sense and we’ll be enjoying the benefits of our Platinum Membership with family
and friends at luxury resorts around the world for many years to come.

The Bad News
1) I’ve spent hundreds of hours researching GRN on-line and haven’t found much
negative press on them at all.  There are some web sites and blogs owned by
timeshare sales people that are negative but it appears that this is because GRN is
threatening their business model.  Why would you buy a timeshare now that GRN
is available on-line?  If you find any meaningful negative press on GRN please let
me know.

2) Some blogs say you can get a better deal by working with realtors in your
destination but I found this to be complicated and time-consuming and the choices
were very limited – and the savings just weren’t worth the effort.

3) Some of the GRN properties have less than 4-star reviews.  At first I was
concerned about this, but then I weighed that up against the fact that the vast
majority of GRN properties have excellent reviews, and frankly, it’s to be expected.  
I’m sure you could find a complaint about the Waldorf Astoria™ in New York City if
you searched hard enough!  See Trip Advisor™ reviews for GRN properties below.

4) The absence of meaningful bad press on GRN was a major factor in my decision
to buy a membership for my family.

Trip Advisor™

Here is a link to my Wish List at Trip Advisor™.  I did a quick scan of a few Global
Resorts Network properties in the USA that I'd like to visit and saved them for you
at TA.

In closing I'd like to say that this is a powerful membership that can bring a lot of
fun for you and your family over the coming years.  $2,995 sounds like a lot of
money up front, but you c
ould save that much this year on a single two-week
vacation.  It will simplify your vacation booking, expand your horizons, guarantee
you good resorts, save you a lot of money, and make vacations a lot more fun!
