Bigger is sometimes better and one example that illustrates this is Vacationing.  There are large and small hotel companies around; large and small resort operators and large and small exchange services ..OK, Some offer different amenities while other, boutique, mom & pop resorts will really pamper you while others are one stop shops for scuba diving or snow skiing…Fine. But if you really measure the value of a resort company, you will generally see that the Larger the hotel or Resort operator, the better value you and your family will get. Kinda like going to Wal-Mart…sure everyone likes to make fun of them but they are the #1 retailer for a reason. GREAT VALUE! Even those that jest about them go there and spend money often. If you want good quality and good service when looking for a set of tires, it is hard to beat Wal-Mart.

The same is true in the Resort vacationing business. Sure, a week at a 4 Star Wyndham resort may appear to cost more than staying at Bob’s resort but here is what you will get. According to Dos Mundos Developments in Austin think about what the following are worth:

#1 World Wide reputation as a superior hotel and resort operator with millions of satisfied customers that have unbelievable memories.

#2 Publicly traded company so is very regulated and very Brand Conscious

#3 Options & Flixibility: So many properties in the best locations that you could never visit them all

#4 Standard amenities such as pools, water slides, spas, golf courses, marinas, lazy rivers, 2, 3 & 4 bedroom units, concierge service, tennis courts, ski lifts, magic shows, game rooms, buffets, wifi, zip lines, security and much more!

FiFi’s boutique villa or Generic’s cheap hotel cannot compete with this, so as a guest you wind up driving elsewhere to get these services or amenities that you pay for…. not to mention the hassle. So you spend an extra $50 a day…really?? What did you spend at Starbucks last week?

Want a resort with a ski lift to your unit? Got it! Want to be next to the largest waterfall in the jungle? Got it! Want free magic shows for the kids? Got it! Want the largest pool in the state with a lazy river and swim up bar? Got it!  The Big Ones Got it!!

I don’t think that I have ever talked to anyone in their 70’s who has said, “ I really regret going on all those vacations with my kids and grandkids and I wish I did not have all those memories.”
