Timeshare stays, renovations and sales presentations: what to expect

What the timeshare environment means for your stay
Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek is a condo-style timeshare resort; many guests are owners or renters of vacation-ownership units rather than hotel-only travelers. As a result, staff and communications occasionally include offers or invitations to attend on-site timeshare sales presentations.
Timeshare presentation invitations are a recurring aspect of stays here; you may be offered a reduced rate, amenity credit, or other incentive in exchange for attending. Attendance is voluntary and any details about the length, incentives, or requirements should be confirmed before you accept an offer.
- Presentations are separate from regular resort activities and usually take place in dedicated sales suites or meeting spaces.
- You can decline politely if you do not want to attend; declining should not affect access to the resort’s pools, dining, or other amenities.
- If you plan to accept an offer, ask up front about the expected duration and whether any incentive (credit, discounted rate, etc.) is guaranteed.
| What to expect | Practical tip |
|---|---|
| Invitation on arrival or by phone | Ask for time commitment and written description of incentive |
| Presentation length varies | Confirm breaks and total time before agreeing |
| Sales follow-up possible | Keep written notes and receipts for any promised credits |
Renovations and pool closures — check before you go
The resort has been undergoing phased renovations that can affect specific towers, pool areas, and garage access. Work schedules change over time, so some pools or parts of towers may be closed during certain periods.
Wyndham has listed closures for Tower 5 pool and lazy river and indicated Tower 4 and village center work in other phases. These closures may reduce the number of available pools or change where poolside services operate.
- Confirm current renovation/closure notices with the front desk at check-in.
- Ask which pool areas remain open (some calmer pools exist alongside kid-focused pools like the Tower 6 pirate-ship area).
- If a pool you planned to use is closed, ask about alternate amenities or temporary compensations.
| Possible impact | What to ask front desk |
|---|---|
| Pool or lazy river closed | Which pools/hot tubs remain open and current hours |
| Tower interior work | Any changes to elevator/lobby access or noise schedules |
| Village Center work | Are dining venues or the game room affected? |
