Wyndham Taos

The Resort & Its Setting

Wyndham Taos is a Club Wyndham vacation ownership property located in Taos, New Mexico, a town set at high elevation in the northern part of the state. The area is known for its adobe-style buildings, dramatic mountain backdrop and a cultural identity that blends Native American, Spanish colonial and contemporary artistic influences. For owners and renters, that means a week here is as much about the surrounding town and landscape as it is about the resort itself.

The Area & Things to Do

Taos has built its reputation on art for well over a century, and the town's gallery district remains a short distance from the resort, with studios and museums covering everything from traditional Southwestern work to contemporary pieces. Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States, is just a few minutes away and gives visitors a rare look at centuries-old adobe architecture still in daily use. Further afield, the Rio Grande Gorge offers canyon views and hiking, including the well-known gorge bridge, while Wheeler Peak and Carson National Forest draw hikers and campers in summer and skiers in winter. History and architecture enthusiasts often also make the drive to the San Francisco de Asis Church in Ranchos de Taos, a historic adobe church that has been painted and photographed by generations of artists. Seasonally, the area shifts from summer hiking and festival season to a snowy winter landscape, so the appeal of a week here depends partly on the time of year an owner holds.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Wyndham Taos and are considering a change, BidMyTimeshare.com is built for owner-to-owner resale and rental: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you directly through the listing, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before you list, it helps to understand how a Club Wyndham transfer works. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership to a new name carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, separate from any price you agree with a buyer. Published guidance doesn't specify a standard timeframe for how long the transfer itself takes, so it's worth building some flexibility into your sale timeline and confirming current processing times directly with Club Wyndham before closing.

It's also important for buyers to know what they are — and aren't — getting with a resale. Club Wyndham is explicit that resale points do not carry VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners benefits; those perks are reserved for points bought directly from the developer. Owner reports also indicate that only some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, and that it's rarely exercised in practice even where it exists — so it shouldn't be assumed on every contract. Because the resort is RCI affiliated, a resale buyer can typically still use that exchange relationship to trade their week for stays at other RCI resorts, which is one of the main reasons buyers look at Club Wyndham properties in the first place.

Practical Notes for Owners & Buyers

Anyone selling should have their contract details, current maintenance fee amount and any points allocation ready to share with serious buyers, since these are the first questions most buyers ask. Buyers, in turn, should always confirm the $399 transfer charge, ask whether their specific contract carries a right of first refusal, and clarify which benefits — if any — will not transfer before agreeing on a price. Taos's high elevation also means practical planning matters for anyone actually using the week: sun protection, hydration and layered clothing are worth bearing in mind regardless of season, and a car is genuinely useful for reaching the gorge, the pueblo and the surrounding forest.
