Why it's this cheap
A timeshare owner who can't use two weeks in early December is renting them on RedWeek for about what the yearly fees cost, just before Puerto Vallarta's peak holiday season.
Why it's a steal
GOOD COMPARISONClub Regina Puerto Vallarta managed by Accor on Google Hotels for Dec 5–19 (2 adults): 'Studio, 2 Double Beds, Kitchen' $2,837 for 14 nights ($203/night) on Expedia, Travelocity and CheapTickets; the resort's own 'Studio room with two double beds and a fully equipped kitchen' $2,953; Booking.com $2,994. Same resort, unit type and dates. The OTA rates come with free cancellation; the RedWeek rental is request-to-book with a Moderate cancellation policy, and its resort fees and tax are paid at check-in (estimated by us at the top of the posted range). The RedWeek studio is listed as a partial kitchen. Google's typical range for this hotel is $114–192 a night; these December dates are priced above it ($203), so against a typical stay the saving would be smaller.
