Question
hello - just curious as to if you know the best way to rent week 28 at the Aruba Beach Club.  (1 bedroom, oceanfront.)  Also, what do you think is a fair rate?  I am trying to rent for my parents, as they were letting me use their week, but I cannot go now.  I am not familiar with how to rent a week.  Any help?  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Brooke!  The best way to get a particular week  is to go to their website  www.arubabeachclub.net .  If you are not certain of the days, go to the timeshare calender. You can contact reservations directly on this site, and they will handle everything you need. The oceanview rooms would be considered the Superb, or the Royal Deluxe. In my opinion, a superior suite would be just as good. (sleeps 4) The rates usually range between 140 to 175 per night, but if your parents are members (like I am) they qualify for a 25% discount from the room rate. Also remember you have an 18% government room tax applied to that also. If you have never been to ABC..it is a nice, clean/well kept timeshare facility. I have been a member there since 1988, and rented rooms there before I was a owner.  I highly doubt that you will have any problems, but if you need any further help, please do not hesitate to contact me again!!
