What is the difference between deeded and RTU?

The timeshares at Marriott's Aruba Sure Club, and in most countries outside the U.S., are Right to Use (RTU). This gives you the “right-to-use” for only as long as the contract permits. The resort developer or Management Company holds ownership of the physical property.

Deeded timeshares are true property ownership with the deed recorded in the county where the property exists. Deeded timeshares have the same rights of ownership accorded as other deeded real estate.
