Club Travalia
A flat annual fee with no points, deed, or maintenance fees.
Club Travalia is a Miami-based flexible vacation membership — not a timeshare. It works like a warehouse club: you pay an initial cost up front to enroll, then a flat annual membership fee (around $238/year) that renews each year — similar to a Costco or Sam's Club membership, with no points, deed, or maintenance fees. Members book resorts, cruises, and suites through travel partnerships, and are automatically granted Interval International Platinum status for week exchanges at 3,200+ resorts. It also bundles access to Sunset World Resorts (Cancún/Riviera Maya) and The Club at Maingate near Orlando, plus cruise pricing on Carnival, Princess, and Cunard. You can add up to four family members or friends at no extra cost and cancel anytime.
Club Travalia works on a warehouse-club model: an initial cost to join, then a flat membership fee that renews every year to keep your access active.
Up-front enrollment
One-time buy-in
A one-time enrollment cost is paid up front when you activate your membership.
Annual membership
~ $238 / year
After joining, you pay a flat yearly membership fee that renews automatically — much like a Costco or Sam's Club membership. There are no points, deeds, or timeshare-style maintenance fees.
Booking and resort usage fees apply on top of membership (for example, stays at The Club at Maingate run $225–$699). Always confirm the current up-front and annual figures in writing before you enroll.

- Add up to 4 family/friends free; cancel any time
Watch out for
- Annual fee is non-refundable, and usage/booking fees apply (Maingate stays run $225–$699)
- Members are recruited via free promotional presentations with 'free cruise' hooks
- Some reviews report communication delays and unexpected charges
The Bottom Line
Best for travelers who want Interval International exchange access without a timeshare deed — just budget for booking and usage fees on top of the flat membership, and treat the presentation's 'free cruise' hook with healthy skepticism.
Club Travalia: Member Reviews
Reviews are submitted by travelers and reflect individual experiences. Travel Club Navigator publishes them as-is and does not edit for tone. Ratings are shared to help you make an informed decision.
Great value once you learn the system
"We were a little overwhelmed at first, but after a couple of bookings it clicked. We've done Cancún and a Smoky Mountains cabin so far and both were well below what we'd have paid on our own. Booking the most popular weeks does take planning ahead, so we've learned to reserve early."
Solid savings, wish the portal were simpler
"The savings are real and customer service has been responsive when I've called. My only gripe is the booking portal can be a bit clunky and inventory for specific dates isn't always there. When I'm flexible, though, I find good deals."
Has paid for itself for our family
"Between two big family trips a year, the membership has more than paid for itself for us. The all-inclusive resort options in Mexico have been our favorite. Just go in understanding it's a booking tool, not a magic discount button — you still compare and plan."
Good so far, presentation was long
"The presentation ran longer than we expected, but the membership itself has been fine. First trip to the Dominican Republic went smoothly and the price was fair. Would recommend reading the terms carefully before you sign anything."
