From a So-Called “Scam” to a Full-Fledged Victor: 5 Recognitions Under AVLCI’s Belt

February 16, 2024

Written by AVLCI

To set the record straight, Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club, Inc. (AVLCI), formerly known as Club Astoria, has been a duly-registered entity at the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC (CS200516093) since 2006. In partnership with its sister company Astoria Hotels and Resorts, from having just one property under its portfolio, this vacation club in the Philippines now offers six first-class accommodations to its thousands of members, all situated in the country’s best destinations.

Not only that, what truly sets this timeshare ownership brand apart from other vacation clubs is the long list of awards it has received from RCI, Resorts Condominiums International, the largest timeshare vacation exchange network in the world.

Here, we rounded up 5 of the many recognitions it has garnered over the years:

RCI President’s Club Award

From 2012 to 2023, AVLCI has been consistently winning the highly coveted RCI President’s Club Award, which recognizes the excellent resorts that share a commitment to transform the vacation experience and to grow their businesses. This is presented annually to RCI’s top performing affiliates around the world.

Gold Crown Resort: Astoria Plaza

Astoria Plaza is Astoria Hotels and Resorts’ very first property and is one of AVLCI’s two home resorts. From 2006 to 2023, this hotel in Ortigas has earned the Gold Crown Resort classification from RCI, which is given to establishments that have attained the highest level of excellence in resort accommodations and hospitality. We are sure you will fall in love with this property, like content creators Mr. Jonty and Mrs. Candice King from Africa!

Gold Crown Resort: Astoria Palawan

The Astoria Group’s biggest property to date and the second AVLCI home resort, Astoria Palawan in Puerto Princesa, has consistently attained the Gold Crown Resort title from RCI from 2012 to 2023, too. No wonder this 8-hectare hotel in Puerto Princesa, has been a favorite among celebrities, including Ms. Camille Prats-Yambao, Ms. Nadine Samonte-Chua, Mr. Joross Gamboa, and Ms. Regine Tolentino!

Gold Crown Resort: Astoria Boracay

Astoria Boracay is The Astoria Group’s very first resort property. From 2016 to 2023, this Boracay beach resort has consistently been earning the Gold Crown Resort recognition from RCI with its modern amenities, spacious rooms, and first-class service. Approved by Ms. Aubrey Miles, Ms. Bea Binene, and Mrs. Gelli de Belen-Rivera, a memorable tropical escape awaits all guests and members here.

Gold Crown Resort: Astoria Current

Finally, we have Astoria Current, our hotel in Boracay, Station 3. Same with its counterparts, it has also achieved the RCI Gold Crown Resort classification from 2018 up to 2023. With its pictorial-forward amenities, delicious F&B offers, and prime location, it comes as no surprise that The Hungry Syrian Wanderer, Mr. Simon Joseph Javier, and even international influencers Ms. Tsvete Popp, Ms. Risa Furusawa, and Ms. Jang Eunhui chose this vibrant property.

With all these recognitions and more, how could the AVLCI scam or Club Astoria scam accusations be true? The straight answer is that these allegations are all false. We know that timeshare scams are rampant these days, but rest assured that you are safe when you choose an SEC-registered brand like ours. So, when shortlisting timeshare companies, make sure to only go for the leading and largest vacation ownership brand in the Philippines, AVLCI.
