Q1. How does the Condotel operation differ from Timeshares?
A1. In timeshare, you only exercise a right to use the property and facilities for a certain period of time. When you own a Unit in Crown Regency Resort & Convention Center, you own a Preferred Stock Share in the company wherein your share/s is/are represented by a specific Condotel Unit. At the same time, since you own a Club Ultima membership, you have a vacation exchange privilege with Interval International.
Q2. Is the Preferred Stock Share certificate redeemable from the holder of such share to be replaced by a title to the
Unit? If so, when?
A2. The Preferred Stock Share certificate, which represents ownership or title to the Condominium Unit, shall be redeemed once. The title to the property, by the issuing company, is obtained with individual title to each Condominium Unit issued and distributed to each shareholder. This is indicated in the Articles of Incorporation of the company.
Q3. How does the Condotel operate?
A3. The Condotel will be managed and operated by the

the member’s rate (30% discount from the regular rate).

week and he will rent another Unit for his friend, he will consume a total of 14 days for the week chargeable to his
45-day FREE stay.
Q21. What if the Unit owner was not able to use the 45-day FREE stay benefit?

subject to availability of room Units. This is because all the pooled room Units are blocked and rented on a day to
day basis by guests of the hotel condominium facility, hence, advance booking is necessary.
