Wish Serrano Resort & Convention Gramado

The Resort & Its Setting

Wish Serrano Resort & Convention Gramado is a timeshare property with its own convention facilities, positioned in the town of Gramado itself. It operates as an independent resort affiliated with RCI, which means owners aren't tied to a single large hotel brand but still have access to a global exchange network when they want to trade their week for a stay elsewhere. The resort's dual identity — timeshare plus meeting and event space — makes it well suited to families, couples, and groups organising reunions or small corporate retreats alongside a standard holiday week.

Gramado and the Surrounding Area

Gramado has built its reputation on a distinctly European look and feel that's unusual in Brazil — chocolate shops, flower-lined streets, half-timbered buildings and a cool mountain climate that stands in sharp contrast to the country's coastal heat. The town centre, with its cafés, restaurants and boutiques, sits about half a kilometre from the resort, an easy stroll for an evening out. A few kilometres further on is Lago Negro, a small lake with walking paths that's popular for a quiet morning or an afternoon photo stop. Day-trippers often head to nearby Canela, roughly 25 km away, home to Caracol Falls and several scenic lookout points. Porto Alegre, the state capital, is about 125 km away and the usual gateway for visitors arriving by car or connecting flight.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Wish Serrano Resort & Convention Gramado can list it for private resale or short-term rental on BidMyTimeshare.com. The marketplace works on an owner-to-owner basis: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee rather than commission — there's no percentage taken out of your sale or rental income.

Because this is an independent resort, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded points programme. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these vary by contract and aren't published figures we can quote here. It's also worth confirming whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process, so both you and your buyer know what to expect before money changes hands.

Because the property is RCI-affiliated, a resale buyer should also confirm directly with the resort or RCI whether exchange privileges transfer with the week, as affiliation terms can vary between contracts.

What renters typically look for is straightforward: clear dates, an honest description of the unit and its view or location within the resort, and confirmation of what's included — bedding configuration, kitchen facilities, and proximity to the town centre. Being upfront about these details, along with the resort's convention-centre character if that's relevant to a group booking, tends to produce faster, smoother enquiries.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone considering a purchase, exchange, or rental here should verify current amenities, room types and facilities directly with the resort, since specifics can change over time. If you're planning to use RCI to exchange into or out of this resort, check availability and booking windows well in advance, particularly around Brazil's peak holiday periods in July and over the December–January school break, when demand in Gramado rises sharply and both rentals and exchanges fill up early.
