FAQ: How do Villa La Estancia’s fractional villas differ from residence clubs or condo hotels?

The confusion that often occurs when people compare Villa La Estancia’s fractional villas with residence clubs or condo hotels is because all of these types of vacation ownership offer luxurious accommodations and services within resort complexes. Just like the residence clubs or condo hotels, you will enjoy all the five star services available at Villa La Estancia, indulging in your second home like a resident guest.

How do Villa La Estancia’s fractional villas differ from residence clubs or condo hotels?

The main advantage and difference between Villa La Estancia’s fractional villas and residence clubs or condo hotels is that you own a specific fractional property forever, just like any regular real estate purchase. That is, residence clubs and condo hotels tend to offer individual rooms or suites, like staying in a hotel, and in most cases, you will not stay in the exact same suite each time you use your vacation membership but one that is similar. Effectively, with residence clubs and condo hotels, you buy a “floating floor plan,” even though you may have a title to a specific property. On the contrary, when you purchase one of Villa La Estancia’s fractional villas, you will return to exactly the same residence each time you arrive because you have bought a permanent fraction of time in a specific unit.

When you purchase a Villa La Estancia fractional villa, you will also be free from making reservations. As long as you wish to use your fractional property during your allocated times, you will not need to make a reservation. All you need to do is to inform the hotel of the day of your arrival so that your suite is in the perfect condition to receive you for a luxury vacation.

Another advantage of Villa La Estancia’s fractional villas is the opportunity for equity and appreciation. Just like any real estate purchase, your fractional vacation property can appreciate and your equity is valid in the case that you wish to sell or leave your villa to a family member in a will.

Great News – Potential for More Flights to Riviera Nayarit

We have great news to share with potential real estate and fractional buyers in Riviera Nayarit. The US Department for Transport revealed that it has received applications from Southwest airlines to increase its flights to Riviera Nayarit. Becoming a second home owner at Villa La Estancia just became even more feasible!

Potential for More Flights to Riviera Nayarit

In a press release last December 2014, Southwest Airlines revealed that it has sought approval from the US Department for Transport for flights from Houston (William P. Hobby Airport) to Puerto Vallarta – Riviera Nayarit International Airport. “Service to Mexico will be the cornerstone of our international operation at Hobby; the four cities we are announcing today (December 11th) provide exciting travel and business options for consumers,” revealed Gary Kelly, Southwest Airlines Chairman, President and CEO.

Southwest Airline’s regular flights from Houston are due to start from October 2015, in time for next year’s high season for winter snowbirds. Houston is a great hub for many connecting flights, which will make it even easier for people to get to Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta on vacation and hopefully make flights cheaper thanks to healthy competition.

Fractional Ownership - Villa la Estancia Residences Riviera Nayarit

Are Fractional Ownership and Timeshare the same?

No, fractional ownership and timeshare are not the same.

Fractional ownership is different to timeshare although the idea of “sharing time” at a property is similar. The key difference between fractional ownership and timeshare is that when you purchase a fraction of a property, you own titled real estate. At Villa La Estancia, fractional ownership will entitle you to the deeds of your fraction of the Villa that you wish to buy; you are the owner of that percentage of the Villa, with the right to use all the facilities at the hotel covered by your maintenance fees.

Timeshare functions in a different way, depending on the membership, but in general, you do not own equity when you buy timeshare. You purchase points or units of time which give you the right to use a property at a timeshare resort. Fractional ownership, on the other hand, makes you the actual owner of your percentage. As such, your investment can appreciate in value over time as the property as a whole appreciates. Likewise, fractional owners can sell their individual fraction whenever they choose.

Fractional Ownership - Villa la Estancia Residences Riviera Nayarit

Another difference between fractional ownership and timeshare is that fractional ownership is just like a bricks and mortar investment that does not expire. Timeshare membership is usually for a set period of years like 25 or 30 years. Fractional ownership is for life and can be left in a will, donated or gifted as you wish (in accordance with federal inheritance laws and taxes, of course).

The advantages that both fractional ownership and timeshare share is the ease with which you can enjoy a second home in paradise without the responsibility or costly investment of full ownership. Fractional ownership allows you to enjoy all the advantages of owning your second home, without any of the hassle associated with being a homeowner in a foreign country. At Villa La Estancia, you pay for your fraction of the property and your share of maintenance fees and you can come and go as you please during your allocated yearly fraction.

Both timeshare and fractional ownership have their advantages, the key is to find what suits you and your vacation aspirations.
