Starwood Vacation Network (SVN) has announced a new online reservation system and other enhancements which have been launched this month and are designed to offer more flexibility when owners travel within the Starwood collection of 19 villa resorts.
The newest enhancements follow:
Starting 8 months prior to arrival:
Use your StarOptions to reserve a vacation for nightly stays or more, checking in any day of the week in any Season and any Villa type at any Starwood villa resort.
You may also borrow StarOptions from your next Use Year. Note: Borrowing StarOptions from a Vacation Ownership Interest (VOI) may relinquish Home Resort Reservation Period for the Use Year borrowed from. All maintenance fees, taxes and fees associated with the VOI must be paid at the time of the request for the Use Year being borrowed. All SVN reservation rules apply.
Minimum lengths of stay may apply and all SVN reservation rules apply.
Between 12 – 8 months prior to arrival:
Make Home Resort reservations online. Search availability and make a reservation with anytime, anywhere convenience.
- Search the online Villa Resort Availability Finder for vacations at your Home Resort, 12 – 8 months before your planned arrival. Minimum length of stays may apply.
- Select a 7-night stay at your Home Resort with a Friday, Saturday or Sunday arrival, based on your Villa type and Season owned.
- As with reservations made by phone, online reservations are subject to availability and made on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once you find a Home Resort vacation you like, reserve it online and receive an email confirmation. Or call Owner Services to assist you. StarOptions reservations online will be introduced later in 2014.
Note: Reservations using StarOptions within 8 months or less are not yet available online, including for reservations at your Home Resort.
All maintenance fees, taxes and fees associated with your Starwood Vacation Network VOI must be current at the time of the request for the Use Year being reserved.
For Owners who do not pay for SVN membership at Sheraton Vistana Resort, Cascades and Lakes phases; Sheraton PGA Vacation Resort; and Sheraton Broadway Plantation all maintenance fees, taxes and fees associated with a Vacation Ownership Interest must be paid at the time of the request for the Use Year being reserved.
Like reservations made by phone, online reservations are subject to availability, made on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note that online reservations are not available for those Fixed VOIs not in Starwood Vacation Network at Sheraton Vistana Resort within the Courts, Falls, Palms, Springs and Spas phases, as those week(s) are reserved automatically.
Owners at The Westin St. John Resort & Villa, Coral Vista phase, will have access to online reservations starting later in 2014.
SVN Owners: Reserve an available week in your Season and Villa type at your Home Resort 12 – 8 months prior to arrival.
Fixed Owners: Your Week, Villa type and Season at your Home Resort are automatically booked but must be confirmed 12 – 10 months prior to arrival, or your week is released to the floating pool. Sheraton Vistana Resort Courts, Falls, Spas, Palms and Springs Fixed Week Owners must confirm automatic booking 12 – 8 months before vacation arrival date, or the week is released to the floating pool.
