How they work
TaraNova has four home-based resorts:
- Villas Palmas, Costa Rica
- Attitash, New Hampshire
- Seawatch Inn, Myrtle Beach
- Tahoe Summit, Nevada
By joining TaraNova you can guarantee your family a membership full of quality vacations. Traditional timeshare may include a specific week at one location, such as week 32 (August) - always the same time and the same place. However modern travelers want variety and flexibility, especially if their needs (where and when) change each year. TaraNova's vacation club is flexible. It allows you to experience the exotic rainforests and volcanos of Costa Rica one year and to enjoy the mountain range in our New Hampshire ski resort the next. When and where is up to you! TaraNova members make great use of their "home-based resorts" but ownership in TaraNova is like an open passport to almost anywhere in the world.
TaraNova is affiliated with Resort Condominium International, (RCI) which is the largest resort exchange company in the world.
Members of the Advantage Program (AP) have the ability for to purchase weeks/vacations/travel etc. Members may deposit weeks for exchange or deposit into a rental/list program to use credits towards AP vacations.
