Vistana Signature Experiences is an important name for owners of Sheraton and Westin vacation ownership products, particularly those who bought before the current Marriott Vacations Worldwide structure was established.
Vistana developed from Starwood’s vacation ownership business and later became part of ILG. Marriott Vacations Worldwide acquired ILG in 2018, bringing Vistana and its Sheraton and Westin vacation ownership businesses into the wider Marriott Vacations Worldwide portfolio.
That corporate history makes Vistana particularly important for owners with older contracts. Your resort may now be marketed primarily as Sheraton Vacation Club or Westin Vacation Club while your paperwork still refers to Vistana or Starwood Vacation Ownership.
Why the Vistana name still matters
Timeshare ownership often lasts much longer than the branding used to sell it. An owner may have purchased under Starwood, upgraded under Vistana and now receive communications connected with Marriott Vacations Worldwide.
If you want to leave the ownership, the full history can matter more than the current logo.
American Consumer Claims has experience dealing with owners connected with Starwood and Vistana and can review the ownership from its original purchase through to its current status.
- They no longer want to pay annual maintenance fees.
- The timeshare is not being used enough to justify keeping it.
- They purchased upgrades or additional interests over time.
- Availability or points usage has not lived up to expectations.
- The corporate and program changes have made the ownership difficult to understand.
- They have been unable to find a satisfactory resale or exit solution.
- They simply want the timeshare commitment brought to an end.
Vistana, Sheraton and Westin
Vistana should not be treated as an unrelated historical company. The name remains relevant to many current Sheraton and Westin owners because it appears throughout the history of their vacation ownership.
That is why ACC considers the complete ownership rather than asking owners to work out the corporate structure themselves.
