   How to Book "Space-A" During Peak Season
and at High Demand Destinations

In one word . . . flexibility!

Remember, G.E.T.O. is a "Space-A" style lodging program. At these privately owned resorts, this means that owners have priority. Once owner requirements are met, inventory is made available for G.E.T.O. use. Since owners use less frequently during off-season, long-range availability (90 to 360 days in advance of check-in) is in the off-season or in areas that may be over built (like the Canary Islands, Isla de Margarita, and parts of Mexico). But this doesn't mean that "Space-A" rentals are limited to off-season travel.

During peak seasons, inventory is held for owners until closer to check-in dates because 28 years of historic usage data demonstrates that is when many owners make their reservations. Based on usage patterns for specific resorts, additional inventory may be released for "Space-A" rentals beginning 90 days out. As a general rule, within 14 days of check-in, all unreserved units become available for G.E.T.O. use. As check-in dates approach, some owners may cancel their reservations, thus making a unit available at the last minute - sometimes only 3-4 days in advance of check-in.

High demand destinations (like Las Vegas, Florida Keys, New Orleans, England, France, and Hawaii) don't really have an "off" season. When there are months long waiting lists of owners, very little inventory will ever reach the "Space-A" pool. What does will always be less that 14 days in advance of check-in dates.

If you can travel on short notice and are very flexible about your destination, you can visit some great locations, even during peak season. However, not everyone has the option to be this flexible. School and work schedules often limit your vacation planning options. If you need to vacation during peak season and need to make specific plans in advance, you may still be able to find a "Space-A" rental, but you need a back-up plan.

Back-up plans with the G.E.T.O. needn't be too difficult. If you need to vacation during peak season, follow these simple steps:

  1. Check G.E.T.O. availability on the web site: It's a long shot, but you might get lucky.
  2. Make a conventional hotel reservation: Check out the discount hotel rates offered through the G.E.T.O.. Click Here for more information on Hotel Discounts.
  3. Now that you have a guaranteed place to stay, make your travel arrangements.
  4. Periodically check the web site for new availability in the area you want to visit, particularly within 60 days of travel.
  5. ALL available units are posted on the G.E.T.O. web site in near real-time (there may be a delay of up to 45 minutes for a cancelled unit to return to inventory).  When you see a unit you want, reserve it immediately.  If you have a US or APO/FPO address and zip code, you can register on the web site to do on-line reservations.  This is the quickest way to hold and reserve that high demand unit.  If you choose not to make an on-line reservation, call the Reservation Center as soon as possible.  Remember -- availability is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
