Our new walk-through video shows you how to use all of the features of our holiday search to find your perfect escape.
Based on member feedback, we’ve compiled the top six tips to help you become a holiday search expert:
How to search for an RCI holiday
Tip 1: Starting your search
Select where you’d like to go from the ‘Region’ list. Choose a sub region if you have a particular area in mind. Then select your preferred check-in date range, if you have one, and hit ‘SEARCH.'
When you first search, you will automatically be shown a list of Exchange Holidays.
Tip 2: Understanding Search Filters
When you have a list of results, use the filters to narrow down your options even more.
The filters help you to refine resorts which have the facilities and activities you’re looking for. You can use the destination filters to refine your geographical region too.
Tip 3: Stay open minded
Use the activity filters to search for holidays offering the things you love to do, rather than in a specific destination - so select 'beach' instead of 'Spain.'
You may discover some amazing options in places you've not previously thought of, plus you might even save points by booking an alternative location!
Tip 4: Save your Favourite Searches
We recommend saving your search criteria to your ‘Favourite Searches’ so you can return at a later date. To do this, select the heart icon on the left of your screen, above the holiday type filters.
You can access your saved Favourite Searches from the icon link on your account homepage.
Tip 5: Booking more than one week?
You can book multiple holidays at an RCI Weeks resort in seven-night intervals, unless otherwise stated. If you want to stay for multiple weeks, you need to make an individual booking for each week. As the week you're booking may have been deposited by fellow RCI members, unfortunately we can't guarantee you will have the same accommodation for each consecutive week.
If the RCI Points logo appears and availability shows within the same accommodation type, you may book up to 21 nights.
Tip 6: Compare Resorts
Compare up to four resorts against each other, viewing facilities and available activities head-to-head. Check the 'compare' box and add or remove resorts until you decide on your shortlist.
