The Residences Luxury Club

The Resort & Its Setting

The Residences Luxury Club is an independently run timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located in Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit. Being RCI-affiliated means owners here aren't limited to using their week at this one address — they can deposit it into the RCI exchange network and book stays at other participating resorts around the world, subject to RCI's own rules and availability.

The Area and What There Is to Do

Bahía de Banderas is the wider bay area that Puerto Vallarta sits on, and it's one of the better-known stretches of Mexico's Pacific coast. Expect beach time, water sports, and a mix of small fishing villages alongside more developed tourist areas. Puerto Vallarta itself is roughly 40 km away, with its colonial centre, restaurants, galleries and malecón walkway giving owners somewhere to head for a change of pace from the resort. The broader Nayarit coastline is also known for seasonal whale watching and diving, so it's worth planning a visit around those activities if they interest you.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Residences Luxury Club and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your ad, and we don't take any commission on the sale or rental — what you agree with the buyer is what you keep.

Because this is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a big-brand transfer department. Instead, ownership changes typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, who will confirm details such as the current transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal, and how long the paperwork usually takes to complete. We don't have those figures confirmed for The Residences Luxury Club, so before agreeing a price, ask the seller (or the resort directly) to confirm the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee in writing — these figures vary by resort and can change from year to year. A resale buyer should also clarify exactly what comes with the week: the contracted unit/week, access to the RCI affiliation, and whether any loyalty perks or bonus points tied to the original owner's account carry over (often they don't).

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters searching for a week at a Bahía de Banderas property are usually comparing location against Puerto Vallarta, unit size, and the dates on offer — high season (November to April) tends to be the most requested stretch, so listing early for those months generally draws more interest. Being upfront about what's included (resort fees, any cleaning charges, check-in details) helps renters commit faster.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Hurricane season on this coast runs roughly June to October, which is worth factoring in if you're setting rental dates or planning an RCI exchange around your week. A rental car gives useful flexibility for exploring beyond the immediate resort area, since many of the region's attractions are spread along the coast rather than clustered in one spot. As with any resale or rental, keep communication and payment through the marketplace platform until you're confident in the transaction.
