It’s summertime!

If you are like most of us who have been swept up in World Cup mania, it has been an exciting summer so far. Watching the teams from 32 countries compete in this global sport showcase reminds us how diverse our cultures are and why traveling is the best way to explore the world around us.

Helping you to explore other places is what we at The Registry Collection® program do best, and in this edition of The Registry Insider you will learn about some exciting new developments that I am certain will help you find that next memorable place to visit.

As you may know, Wyndham Worldwide is the parent company of The Registry Collection program and Wyndham Vacation Ownership has a select portfolio of inventory that members of The Registry Collection program can exchange into at very favorable credit amounts. While we only have room to highlight three of them for you here, there are a number of other great locations in the Wyndham Vacation Ownership family for you to choose from.

As a member of The Registry Collection® program, you enjoy access to an elite network of luxury leisure properties at some of the most desirable resort destinations in the world. For the ultimate vacation experience, allow us to suggest these three Wyndham Resorts, each an elegant complement to its spectacular setting.

Wyndham Canterbury at San FranciscoThe former Canterbury Hotel and Whitehall Inn, a San Francisco fixture for more than 70 years, is now a Revitalized Bay Area Landmark, made new while preserving echoes of its illustrious past. This centrally located property in the heart of downtown is steps from the best of the city—and those legendary cable cars. Enter the marble-tiled lobby, accented with modern and antique touches, and be welcomed with Canterbury sophistication and style. Spacious suites boast luxurious bedrooms with a private master bathroom and a stylish living area with city views. After a day of shopping or sightseeing at the Golden Gate Bridge, Fishman’s Wharf and Alcatraz, fabulous Union Square dining and nightlife await.

Wyndham Bonnet Creek ResortClose to the gates of the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks is a lakefront, family-friendly escape with a touch of magic. One- and two-bedroom beautifully furnished suites feature luxurious bedrooms and master bathrooms with a whirlpool tub. Enjoy a spacious living room with a state-of-the art entertainment system and a large, private balcony, many with lakefront or poolside views. Steps from your residence, splash in the private lake, Lazy River, sparkling pool, or enjoy the health club, sand volleyball court, miniature golf course, and daily adventures on the activities calendar. Nearby, tee off at a variety of top-level championship golf courses, and enjoy complimentary transportation to all four Disney theme parks and Downtown Disney® area.

Wyndham Bali Hai VillasNestled high in the secluded cliff terrain of Kauai’s leading resort community, you will find a lush paradise of exotic beaches, scenic waterfalls and spectacular cliffs. Elegant villas feature roomy, luxurious bedrooms including a private master bathroom with a whirlpool tub, and a sunny living area with rattan décor offering delightful mountain or garden views. Steps from your villa relax against a backdrop of cascading waterfalls and lush, tropical plants at the sparkling pool. Nearby, a full range of water sports includes windsurfing, snorkeling and scuba diving among the coral reefs at Anini Bay, and hiking, horseback riding and cave exploration throughout a volcanic mountain range. And two extraordinary golf courses nearby are rated among America’s Top 100.

As someone who works in the hospitality industry, Chris Toll has a clear idea of what makes a good quality vacation property. So it’s reassuring to know that even for Chris and his wife, The Registry Collection® program and its properties have scored highly. Chris has deposited weeks and exchanged them for visits to other properties. “This has given us a great insight into the exchange experience,” said Chris. The couple has visited the Deer Valley Club in Utah, and Old Greenwood at Lake Tahoe in Nevada.

“We enjoy our independence and space,” Chris added, “so staying at The Registry Collection properties offers an ideal alternative to hotels. We have all the facilities of home, backed up by the services of a five-star hotel when we need them, and this is very attractive to us. It means we can always call on someone for assistance and service when needed.

“The Deer Valley Club is a particular favorite. Its service is second to none, and it is a genuine ski-in, ski-out property, which is rare. Old Greenwood is more modern and located close to the facilities of the town of Truckee. Our accommodations were a four-bedroom log-built home – my wife and I felt like kids in a candy shop when we walked in there. At both resorts the accommodations were perfect for us and the quality exceeded our expectations.

“We have always felt that the staff of The Registry Collection program have been very responsive to our queries and requests here in the UK. Fractional property ownership offers such good quality accommodation in desirable locations that you can’t deny its value.”

—Chris Toll

The Registry Collection program invites all members who have enjoyed their experiences to contact us. We’ll do our best to publish your story in a future edition of The Registry Insider!

Tips from a Reservation Consultant As a reminder, the best way to get the most enjoyment from your membership is to exchange your weeks for stays at our other exclusive properties.

Remember to deposit early! Your Reservation Consultant will be happy to assist you through this process.

Q&a’sQ: I received an email from The Registry Collection® program highlighting properties and special offers. The email also contained information concerning the credits on my account, and this information differs from what my own records indicate. Can you explain why?

A: The account information that appears in your email is current to within a week of the date that the email was sent to you. Therefore, more recent activity in your account, including deposits, confirmations and cancellations, may not be reflected in the email. If you have questions about your account information, a Reservation Consultant will be glad to help you.

Q: The Registry Collection program sent me a link to a post-vacation survey, but when I clicked on the link I was unable to access the survey.

A: Your difficulty in accessing the survey is most likely related to the Firewall setting on your computer. To successfully access the survey, try adjusting the settings on your computer’s anti-virus software. You may also try copying the survey link and pasting it into your Web browser.
