Wi-Fi Wireless Internet - Timeshares That Have It

September 5, 2008 11:46 by author

Sometimes, your vacation accommodation choices are driven by amenities like golf lessons, spas, child care, or skiing. What about wireless internet access? A growing number of vacation travelers are searching for timeshare condos to buy or rent that offer Wi-Fi, or wireless internet. Some timeshares offer Wi-Fi as part of your amenities - and for free. Others offer wireless internet for a daily fee - usually $15 to $25 a day. Some timeshare condos have an internet cafe, and a diminishing few are probably holding out by offering no internet access at all.

So, after a little bit of totally unscientific research, here' what I found some timeshares offer:

Trapp Family Lodge - Stowe VT - Chose NOWIRZ to provide their Wi-Fi for their campus including 100 hotel rooms, 100 timeshare units, and 40 villas.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Waikoloa Beach Resort and The Marriott Maui Ocean Club on Kaanapali Beach are two Hawaii timeshares who offer wireless internet.

Summer Bay Las Vegas underwent a huge renovation during 2008 and offers Wi-Fi wireless internet for their vacationers.

Diamond (Sunterra) Resorts Desert Paradise in Las Vegas offers Wi-Fi for a fee.

Occidental Grand Aruba Timeshare and La Cabana Beach and Racquet Club in Oranjestad offer wireless internet for a fee.

All the information about these resorts would need to be verified before making reservations. This is a rapidly changing technology.

Many many other timeshare resorts offer wireless internet for their owners, but these are the ones I came across first. Soon I'd anticipate every resort will offer this amenity as often as they offer a pool or air conditioning!

Here's some good advice for timeshare managers from www.hotel-online.com : "Management should not be burdened with questions about how to use the service or with requests to correct problems arising from its use. Resorts should check with their prospective WiFi provider and ensure that they have minimum requirements for resort staff involvement, a 24/7 telephone hotline and plenty of collateral and instructional materials to help step consumers through the usage process."

Please leave your comments here on the blog if you'd like to name your timeshare resort and describe how they offer WiFi wireless internet connections!

I recently stayed at the Grand Mayan Nuevo Vallarta. This is a top of the line timeshare resort with many amenities including 24 hour room service which you won't find at many timeshare resorts. But, they don't have Wi-Fi, you must go to the internet cafe which is somewhat out of the way.

I don't own a timeshare but here is a list of resort hotels that offer wi-fi. http://www.wififreespot.com/hotels.html . I was in Tyler, TX on vacation this weekend and had to find wi-fi spots several times to get directions. Just about every hotel we pulled into had wi-fi internet access and most didn't require you to have a username or password.

I've stayed at Hyatt's Main Street Station in Breckenridge, Colorado, and they have WI-FI in all of their rooms.

From an "unofficial" Disney website: Disney Vacation Club members who are staying at a DVC resort will no longer be charged for wired internet access during their stay." Non members will have to pay daily access fees. BUT, do they offer WiFi? Anyone?
