Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) announced its acquisition of Diamond Resorts (DR) in a press release on March 10, 2021, promising to combine Diamond’s strength with the brand and culture of Hilton Grand Vacations. The two companies had dramatically different business models. Hilton built resorts.

We wrote to Vacation Village Patriots Inn in 2021 to request a release. We received an email back saying they do not take back a timeshare unless there is serious medical hardship. Timeshares were routinely sold as being a real estate product, easy to sell. They are not.

We had no loans outstanding.
