What is Holiday Membership?
Holiday Membership is a flexible and very cost-effective way of enjoying holidays in Torquay, as well as giving you flexibility to exchange with other resorts too.
are the prices negotiable?
Most long-term sales are advertised on behalf of our current owners. Therefore, it is dependent on the owner who is selling as to whether they are willing to negotiate. Short term ownership prices are non-negotiable.
Are there any financial commitments after purchasing a timeshare?
For long-term timeshare memberships, there is an annual management fee which is to cover the upgrading, cleaning and maintenance of the apartments and grounds.
