Vistana Signature Network™ (VSN) reservations made during the Home Resort Reservation Period or the VSN Float Period are subject to the following cancellation policy and may be canceled by calling Owner Services prior to the arrival date of the assigned reservation. Failure to cancel a confirmed reservation prior to the arrival date will prevent the restoration of StarOptions^® or Home Options for further use.

Reservations may be canceled 61 days or more prior to arrival with no cancellation fee or Usage Restriction.

Reservations made 60 days or less prior to arrival may be canceled through the following day after making the reservation (before the end of hours of operation, Eastern time) with no cancellation fee or Usage Restriction. After this grace period passes, cancellations and modifications to the reservation — including changes to the arrival or departure date or to Villa type (other than releasing one side of the lockoff for reservations confirmed during the Home Resort Reservation Period) — will incur cancellation fees. Subsequent usage will be restricted to reservations within 60 days of the new requested arrival date for that Use Year and will not be eligible for StarOptions Banking or loyalty points conversion.

Cancellation Fees:

• 60 days–8 days: $50 cancellation fee
• 7 days or less: $75 cancellation fee

Reservations not affiliated with the Vistana Signature Network may be subject to cancellation fees or use restrictions. Please contact Owner Services to inquire about the cancellation policy that applies to your reservation. External exchange Guests should contact their external exchange company for the applicable cancellation policy.

Check cashing services are available to Owners and guests with valid identification. There is a limit of $200 per stay.

We invite you to check in after 4 p.m., and request that you check out before 10 a.m. local time. However, if your arrival or departure does not coincide with our schedule, the Front Desk will be happy to receive your bags while you enjoy the surrounding resort facilities. Consecutive reservations may require moving villas from stay to stay. Reservations will be placed in the Villa type listed on your confirmation. Please make arrangements with the front desk for assistance with your luggage on the day that your new reservation begins. Owners, is someone else enjoying your villa or do you need to make other changes to your reservation? Be sure to contact Owner Services and provide your guest’s name prior to their arrival to authorize their check-in or any other modification to your reservation. Rental by a VSN Owner of units reserved using StarOptions (other than a vacation period at your Home Resort) is prohibited. Violation may result in the suspension of an Owner’s right to reserve within VSN until compliant. External exchange guests should contact their external exchange company to obtain a guest certificate if someone else will be checking in. Please also let us know if you’re checking in after your scheduled arrival date, so we can plan properly. For security purposes, keys will only be given to the name on the reservation. You will be asked to provide a valid government or state-issued photo ID at check in.

Tee times, as well as dining, transportation and excursion recommendations are available at the Concierge Desk. Should you need assistance prior to your arrival, please contact the Concierge at 760-636-7050.

We require a credit card to secure any charges, which you may charge back to your folio. The system will hold these funds until check-out.

If you are traveling with children, we are happy to provide you with cribs, high chairs and rollaway beds upon request. These items are limited in supply and therefore not guaranteed. Charges may apply. To make arrangements, please contact Owner Services up to 24 hours in advance of your arrival. External exchange Guests, please contact the resort directly. Rollaway beds are limited to one per villa and are not available in the one-bedroom villa (smaller one-bedroom) due to space limitations.

Should you check out prior to your confirmed departure date, the unused portion of your reservation will be forfeited. StarOptions are not refunded for late arrival or early departure.

The resort includes several pool areas for your enjoyment: an outdoor whirlpool spa, main pool, family pool, and a flume pool with waterslide. All waterslides require that riders be a minimum of 48 inches tall. Partner riding is not permitted.

Small, personal coolers (30-quart maximum) may be brought into the swimming pool areas. Personal alcohol including beer, wine and liquor of any sort is prohibited at any of the resort’s swimming pool areas. As a reminder, personal sound systems are also not permitted in the pool areas.

Smoking of any kind — including electronic cigarettes — is not permitted inside villas, but is permissible on the villa patio or balcony. If signs of smoking are detected in your villa, a $250 fee may be applied to your folio. Additionally, smoking is not permitted in the pools or on the pool deck areas. The resort also observes local and state smoking ordinances that may prohibit smoking in some public places.

Unforeseen events or circumstances beyond our control may result in last-minute changes. As a result, villa assignment or special requests will only be confirmed during the check-in process. Changes to the arrival or departure date or to villa type (other than releasing one side of the lockoff for reservations confirmed during the Home Resort Reservation Period) will result in a loss of priority for fulfilling special requests. Please note, for floating villa Owners, reservations confirmed during the Home Resort Reservation Period do not guarantee specific floor, building or villa number assignment. Additionally, reservations made through Vistana Signature Experiences do not guarantee view, floor, building, or villa number assignment, even for Home Resort Owners.

Marriott Bonvoy™ Points may be earned for qualified charges at the resort. As a villa property, we are unable to offer select Marriott Bonvoy™ Member benefits for ownership reservations, including complimentary room upgrades, Suite Night Awards™, priority late check-out, Your24™, and Gold Elite and Platinum Elite welcome gifts.
