For Travelers

Regardless of what you learned in school, when it comes to travel, sometimes procrastination does pay off. On KOALA, timeshare owners list unused weeks and points — and as check-in gets closer, many are simply trying to cover their costs. That dynamic creates a sweet spot: great inventory showing up within 90 days at prices that routinely beat hotels and Airbnb.

And here’s the fun part: last-minute travel can be genuinely energizing. Spot a great rate, feel that spark, and suddenly a spur-of-the-moment getaway makes more sense than staying home. It’s spontaneous, it’s satisfying, and it’s often the best value in the market.

Last-minute travel isn’t a compromise — it’s an opportunity. And KOALA makes it ridiculously easy to grab it.

For Timeshare Owners

Although some timeshare companies have loosened restrictions since the pandemic, they are usually not as flexible with cancellations as their owners would like them to be. That means once a deadline passes, that owner can no longer change or cancel their reservation. If it is not used, they risk loss of their weeks or points. Owners are responsible to pay maintenance fees associated with that reservation – even if they don’t use it – and that can be a heavy burden to bear. Last Resort offers a place where travelers are looking for great deals on last minute stays – which means owners can get extra visibility on their listings. We will also feature the best deals in our newsletter.
