In order to provide expanded qualitative information about the
resorts in our network, Interval has a multitiered Resort
Recognition program. Based on research, resort inspections, and
your Vacation Evaluation forms, the program is a valuable
vacation-planning tool that can help you choose resorts that meet
or exceed your expectations.
THE CRITERIA
PricewaterhouseCoopers’ U.S. Hospitality & Leisure Practice was
engaged to assist Interval in the development of the program. The
determination of the tiers incorporates refined recognition criteria,
taking into consideration:
Desirability of resort location
Level of guest services
Size, style, and decor of accommodations
Condition and appearance of common areas
Nature and scope of amenities
Recent trends in vacation ownership products
Extent and variety of recreational facilities
The overall guest experience
The Resort Recognition Awards are reviewed annually by Interval
International. Feedback from property inspections, your Vacation
Evaluations, and external consumer reviews are important
considerations.
