Thunderbird Resorts Rizal

The resort and its setting

Thunderbird Resorts Rizal is part of the Thunderbird group, built within the Eastridge Arts, Recreations & Tourism Zone in Binangonan, Rizal. Unlike many timeshare resorts centred on a beach or pool complex, this property combines lodging with a casino, giving it more of a resort-and-entertainment feel than a coastal one. Google reviewers rate it 4.1 out of 5 from nearly a thousand reviews, a solid score for a property that mixes gaming, accommodation and function space under one roof. The resort overlooks Laguna de Bay, the Philippines' largest lake, which shapes the views and the overall feel of the area far more than any ocean shoreline would.

Binangonan and the Rizal province area

Binangonan is a lakeside town in Rizal province, within easy reach of Metro Manila, making it a popular weekend escape for residents of the capital who want cooler air and lake views without a long drive. The Eastridge zone itself was developed around leisure and tourism, so the immediate surroundings include recreational facilities tied to the resort complex. Rizal province more broadly is known for its hillside views over Laguna de Bay, scattered heritage towns, and a cooler climate than Manila thanks to its elevation along the Sierra Madre foothills. It's better suited to day trips, casino visits and lake scenery than to swimming beaches, so owners and renters should set expectations accordingly.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Thunderbird Resorts Rizal and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As with all our listings, this is a private, owner-to-owner sale: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers browsing the marketplace, and interested parties contact you through the platform rather than through an agent. No commission is taken from the sale — sellers only pay a one-time listing fee to publish their week.

Because Thunderbird Resorts Rizal is managed under the Thunderbird brand rather than through a major exchange company's own internal resale desk, a resale here typically goes through the resort's owners' association or on-site management rather than a separate resale division. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee. These figures aren't published on Thunderbird's general site and will vary depending on unit type and week, so get them in writing directly from the resort before closing a deal. Confirm in writing whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resale transactions, and allow time for the ownership transfer paperwork, which can take several weeks depending on how quickly the resort processes it.

A resale buyer should understand exactly what they are and aren't getting: the usage week or points itself, access to the lodging and on-site facilities as set out in the deed or contract, and the fact that this resort is RCI-affiliated, meaning a buyer can request exchanges through RCI subject to that network's own fees and availability rules. Buyers do not automatically inherit any resort-specific perks, promotions or casino membership tied to the previous owner — these should be checked separately with the resort.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters coming to Thunderbird Resorts Rizal are generally looking for a lake-view base near Manila with on-site casino access, rather than a beach holiday, so be clear about this in your listing description. Confirm with the resort what is included in a rental booking (room category, access to casino facilities, any resort fees) before you advertise a week, since specifics can vary by unit and season. Sellers should likewise double-check their contract documents for the exact week number, unit type and any outstanding annual fees before listing, so buyers get accurate information upfront.
