Occidental
Vacation Club began operations in 1993 with the vision of offering an attractive
and different product to the vacation club market. It has continued to
innovate with a different approach to reaching out to potential clients
focused on an “enhanced vacation experience” through which it offers its
more than 30,000 members a personalized stay, special club check-in and
check-out, high quality service and amenities, spacious rooms, and exclusive
club areas like the First Club Lounge, Arena Beach Lounge, available at
some resorts. At the moment, the Club has two levels of membership, the
First Club and Grand Level, with plans to possibly add a higher level.
Milton
Gonzalez said, “Over the past two decades OVC has grown considerably and
this is an opportunity to take our members’ vacation experiences to the
next level.”
With
Barceló Hotels and Resorts’ acquisition of Occidental Hotels and
Resorts and OVC last August, the Spanish hotel company entered the timeshare/vacation
club segment of the hospitality business for the first time.
Barceló
Hotels and Resorts is considering important renovation plans for the Occidental
hotels, with a possible investment of somewhere between $120 and $150 million,
while at the same time reviewing the brand structure of the Occidental
properties and how it blends with the existing Barceló Hotels and
Resorts portfolio.
