Start with the calendar
Map holidays, school breaks, annual events, peak weather periods, and typical trip lengths for the destination.
Know the reservation rules
Confirm the exact opening time, home-resort priority, minimum stays, cancellation rules, and whether changes affect booking priority.
Book with a purpose
Do not reserve a date solely because it appears popular. Confirm that the unit, stay pattern, fees, and guest-transfer rules support the intended use.
Independent guidance: Rules and outcomes vary by resort, club, exchange company, reservation type, and jurisdiction. Confirm current requirements before acting.
