What characterizes a 'fixed unit' in timeshare terminology?

A 'fixed unit' in timeshare terminology is characterized as a specific unit designated for usage, allowing the owner to use that particular unit for a predetermined period each year. This means that the owners have the right to occupy the same physical unit during their assigned time frames, which provides a consistent and predictable vacation experience.

This stability is appealing to owners who prefer to return to the same location and enjoy the same amenities year after year. In contrast to flexible ownership or rotating units, where owners may alternate between different accommodations or have varying rights to units, the fixed unit model ensures that each owner has guaranteed access to a specific unit they can call their "home away from home" during their chosen time.
