You're not stuck forever. Thousands of Unlimited Vacation Club owners have successfully exited — here's exactly how they did it.
Unlimited Vacation Club (UVC) was acquired by Hyatt Hotels in 2021. Originally part of Apple Leisure Group, UVC sold memberships promising unlimited access to luxury all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean. Post-acquisition complexities and rising fees have left many owners frustrated.
UVC's pitch — unlimited access to all-inclusive resorts — is one of the most seductive in the timeshare industry. The vision of endless beach vacations is powerful. The contract, however, is not unlimited in your favor.
The good news: the exit door exists. It just wasn't shown to you at the sales presentation. Below are your real options.
Compare your options — from fastest to most reliable:
| Exit Method | Typical Timeline | Works If | Risk Level | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rescission (Cancel within window) | Immediate | Within your state's rescission period (typically 3-10 days) | None | ✓ Yes — if eligible |
| Deed-Back to Unlimited Vacation Club | 3-12 months | Account current, no outstanding loan, company accepts | Medium | Try first — with help |
| Legal Cancellation (Attorney) | 6-18 months | Misrepresentation or fraud documented at sale | Low | ✓ Best for most owners |
| Timeshare Exit Company | 6-24 months | Company is licensed; avoid upfront-fee-only firms | Medium | Verify credentials first |
| Resale on Secondary Market | 12-36 months | Finding a buyer (rare; usually $1) | High effort / low return | Last resort |
| Stop Paying (Foreclosure) | 6-18 months | Willing to absorb credit damage | High — credit damage | Not recommended |
Not all exit companies are created equal. Here's what to look for — and our top picks for Unlimited Vacation Club owners specifically:
Avoid any company that demands large upfront fees before doing any work, guarantees results before reviewing your contract, or claims to "sell" your timeshare for you. Always verify BBB rating and ask for escrow payment options.

Apple Leisure Group, which operated UVC, was acquired by Hyatt Hotels Corporation in 2021. UVC now operates under Hyatt's platform with updated (and often less favorable) terms for legacy members.
Post-acquisition, UVC exits are handled through Hyatt-related channels. Legal cancellation is often effective, particularly where the acquisition changed original contract terms.
Existing credit balances were generally preserved, but the terms under which they can be used changed. If your benefits were materially reduced, that may support a cancellation claim.
Yes. Pre-acquisition UVC members often have the strongest legal claims, as the acquisition frequently changed terms that original buyers agreed to.
