Hotel on Vacation Amazon

The Resort and Its Setting

Hotel on Vacation Amazon is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare resort in Leticia, capital of Colombia's Amazonas department. Rather than competing on resort facilities, it trades on location, and that's really the whole pitch: Leticia is the main gateway for Amazon travel in Colombia, sitting at the tri-border point where Colombia, Peru and Brazil meet. Owners here are buying into a base for rainforest and river trips, not a beach resort.

Leticia and the Amazon on Your Doorstep

Leticia's city centre is a short walk away, with its markets, restaurants and everyday Amazonian life. Beyond that, the rainforest itself begins within a kilometre or so of town, and the Amazon River — the largest river system on earth by volume — is close enough for boat tours, fishing trips and river-based wildlife watching. Guided jungle excursions, wildlife spotting and visits to indigenous communities in the surrounding area are the main draw, and most of these trips are arranged through local operators rather than the resort itself.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Hotel on Vacation Amazon and want to sell, BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay a one-time listing fee rather than handing over a percentage of the sale — no commission is taken when the week sells. Interested buyers contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of negotiations and timing.

Because Hotel on Vacation Amazon is run independently rather than as part of a large branded chain, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a central corporate resale office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the transfer fee will be, how long the paperwork typically takes to process, and what the current annual maintenance fee is. None of this is standardised across independent resorts, so it needs checking case by case rather than assumed to be the same everywhere. A buyer should also ask what exactly transfers with the week: the RCI affiliation itself belongs to the resort, but any points, banked weeks, or ongoing RCI membership benefits the seller has personally accrued do not automatically pass to a new owner and need to be addressed separately.

For anyone renting rather than selling, the appeal of this week is straightforward: it suits travellers who want several nights as a base for organising jungle tours, river excursions and visits to Amazon communities, rather than guests looking for a conventional resort stay with on-site pools or entertainment.

Exchanging Through RCI

Hotel on Vacation Amazon's RCI affiliation means an owner can use their week within RCI's exchange system — banking it, borrowing against a future allocation, or trading it for a stay at another RCI resort elsewhere in the world. This is a useful point to mention when listing a week for sale, since it gives a buyer flexibility beyond simply returning to Leticia each year. As above, check with RCI and the resort directly on how membership and any accrued exchange credits transfer with a resale.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Leticia is reached by air via Bogotá, and transfers from the airport should be arranged ahead of arrival. The weather is tropical and humid year-round, with a drier spell roughly from December to February and again in July and August that best suits rainforest activities, though the Amazon sees rain throughout the year regardless of season.
