[edit] History
Marriott Vacation Club International was started in 1984 on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with American Resorts. In 1985, Marriott Rewards was introduced to partner with the timeshare resorts. A year later, Marriott's Sabal Palms, the club's first resort, opens in Orlando, Florida adjacent to the Orlando World Center Marriott. The second timeshare resort was on the same property - Marriott's Royal Palms opens a year later. That same year, Marriott's Monarch opens up on Hilton Head Island. In 1989, Marriott's Desert Springs Villas opens up at the same time as the non-timeshare Desert Springs Marriott Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, California. A year later celebrates the opening of the opening of the Marriott's Paradise Island Beach Club in Nassau, Bahamas, Marriott's StreamSide in Vail, Colorado, and Marriott's Cypress Harbour in Orlando, Florida.
