Havasu Dunes Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Havasu Dunes Resort is a timeshare property in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, operating under the Club Wyndham and Travel + Leisure umbrella. Owners here hold a deeded or points-based interest that guarantees a week, or its points equivalent, year after year, with the added option of trading through RCI, one of the largest vacation exchange networks around. The resort's appeal comes almost entirely from its address: Lake Havasu City is a riverfront town built on the shores of a 45-mile reservoir on the Colorado River, roughly 200 miles southeast of Las Vegas.

The Area and Things to Do

Lake Havasu City draws its crowds for one simple reason: the water. Boating, fishing, jet skiing and swimming are possible for most of the year thanks to Arizona's reliably sunny climate, and the lake's coves and islands give visitors plenty of room to spread out. The town's best-known landmark, London Bridge, was relocated here stone by stone in 1971 and now anchors a waterfront strip of shops and restaurants that comes alive in the evenings. Beyond the lake itself, the Lake Havasu City Marina offers boat rentals and launch facilities, while the surrounding Mohave Valley desert has hiking trails and rock formations for anyone wanting a break from the water.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Havasu Dunes Resort and are thinking about selling or renting your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week or points, set your asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on a sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise.

Before you list, it's worth understanding how a change of ownership works on the Club Wyndham side. According to Club Wyndham, moving a contract into a new owner's name involves a $399 ownership change processing charge. Some Club Wyndham Access contracts, mainly those written from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, though owners report it's rarely exercised in practice; a published, resort-wide transfer timeline isn't available, so it's sensible to check directly with Wyndham before agreeing on a sale date with a buyer.

Buyers should also know what does and doesn't carry over: resale points acquired this way do not come with VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners — those perks are reserved for points purchased directly from the developer. None of this stops a resale purchase from being a straightforward way to own at Havasu Dunes Resort; it simply means buyers get the accommodation and exchange rights through RCI without the extra developer-only extras.

Practical Notes for Renters and Owners

Renters are generally drawn to Lake Havasu City for the water access and the warm, sunny weather, so a week that falls near spring, fall, or summer tends to attract the most interest. Owners renting out a week should be clear in their listing about which season and unit size they're offering, since the resort's own on-site amenities vary by unit and aren't standardised across the property. Anyone buying resale should also ask the seller for the current annual maintenance fee, as this isn't published separately within the Club Wyndham points system and will vary with contract size.
