Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business Description and Basis of Presentation	Background, Business and Basis of Presentation Business and Background On July 24, 2013, Diamond Resorts International, Inc. ("DRII") closed the initial public offering (the "IPO") of an aggregate of 17,825,000 shares of its common stock at the IPO price of $14.00 per share. In the IPO, DRII sold 16,100,000 shares of common stock, and Cloobeck Diamond Parent, LLC ("CDP"), in its capacity as a selling stockholder, sold 1,725,000 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to DRII were $204.3 million after deducting all offering expenses. DRII was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 11, 2013 to effect the Reorganization Transactions (defined below) and consummate the IPO. Immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC ("DRP") was the sole stockholder of DRII. In connection with, and immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, each member of DRP contributed all of its equity interests in DRP to DRII in return for shares of common stock of DRII. Following this contribution, DRII redeemed the shares of common units held by DRP and DRP was merged with and into DRII, with DRII being the surviving entity. The Company refers to these and other related transactions entered into substantially concurrently with the IPO as the "Reorganization Transactions." DRII is a holding company, and its principal asset is the direct and indirect ownership of equity interests in its subsidiaries, including Diamond Resorts Corporation ("DRC"), which is the operating subsidiary that has historically conducted the business described below. Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, references in the consolidated financial statements to "the Company" refer to DRP prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, and DRII, as the successor to DRP, following the consummation of the Reorganization Transactions, in each case together with its subsidiaries, including DRC. The Company operates in the hospitality and vacation ownership industry, with a worldwide resort network of 379 vacation destinations located in 35 countries throughout the world, including the continental United States ("U.S."), Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Africa (as of January 31, 2016). The Company’s resort network includes 109 resort properties with approximately 12,000 units that are managed by the Company and 250 affiliated resorts and hotels and 20 cruise itineraries, which the Company does not manage and do not carry the Company's brand, but are a part of the Company's resort network and, through THE Club and other Club offerings (the "Clubs"), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations. The Company’s operations consist of two interrelated businesses: (i) hospitality and management services, which includes operations related to the management of the homeowners associations (the "HOAs") for resort properties and eight multi-resort trusts and one single-resort trust (collectively, the "Diamond Collections"), operations of the Clubs, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other hospitality and management services and (ii) vacation interests ("VOIs" or "Vacation Interests") sales and financing, which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company’s VOIs. Historically, we have derived a majority of the Company's total revenue and net income from the vacation interests sales and financing segment. Through December 31, 2014 , hospitality and management services also included operations of two properties located in St. Maarten for which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company functioned as the HOA. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company assigned the rights and related obligations associated with assets it previously owned as the HOA for these properties to newly created HOAs (the "St. Maarten HOAs"). Since then, the Company has had no beneficial interest in the St. Maarten HOAs, except through its ownership of VOIs, but continues to serve as the manager of the St. Maarten HOAs pursuant to customary management services agreements. As a result, the operating results and the assets and liabilities of the St. Maarten properties were deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2015 (with the exception of all employee-related liabilities including the post-retirement benefit plan, which were transferred to the St. Maarten HOAs during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and cash accounts, the majority of which is expected to be transferred to the St. Maarten HOAs during the quarter ending March 31, 2016) (the "St. Maarten Deconsolidation"). On October 16, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ocean Beach Club, LLC, Gold Key Resorts, LLC, Professional Hospitality Resources, Inc., Vacation Rentals, LLC and Resort Promotions, Inc.(collectively, the “Gold Key Companies”) relating to their operation of their vacation ownership business in Virginia Beach, Virginia and the Outer Banks, North Carolina (the "Gold Key Acquisition"). The Company acquired management contracts, real property interests, unsold vacation ownership interests and other assets of the Gold Key Companies, adding six additional managed resorts to the Company’s resort network, in exchange for a cash purchase price of $167.5 million and the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities. At the closing of the Gold Key Acquisition, an additional $6.2 million was deposited into an escrow account to support the Company’s obligations under the Default Recovery Agreement, which is treated as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. See " Note 9 — Prepaid expenses and other assets, net " for further detail on the Default Recovery Agreement. Basis of Presentation Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, the consolidated financial statements and other historical financial data included in this annual report on Form 10-K/A are (i) those of DRP and its subsidiaries through July 24, 2013, after giving retroactive effect to the Reorganization Transactions and (ii) those of DRII and its subsidiaries after July 24, 2013. The Company has reclassified the amount of cash collected on overnight rental operations (the "Rental Trust Cash Accounts") on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 from cash in escrow and restricted cash to cash and cash equivalents. The Company concluded that the majority of the Rental Trust Cash Accounts ultimately belong to the Company, and are available for general corporate use. Consequently, the Company reclassified $12.6 million to cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 to conform to the current year presentation. In addition, the Company revised its statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 to reflect these reclassifications. In addition, the Company reclassified certain amounts related to changes in cash in escrow and restricted cash from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities in its statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 to conform to the current period presentation. The revisions and impact on the previously-issued balance sheet and statements of cash flows are not material.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Significant accounting policies are those policies that, in management's view, are most important in the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The methods, estimates and judgments that the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that it reports in the financial statements. Some of these significant accounting policies require the Company to make subjective and complex judgments regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. Those significant accounting policies that require the most significant judgment are discussed further below. Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires the Company to make difficult and subjective judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. The methods, estimates and judgments that the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that the Company reports in its financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, bad debts, unsold Vacation Interests, net, Vacation Interests cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the Company's analyses form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates are also used by the Company to record a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests notes receivable. This provision is calculated as projected gross losses for originated Vacation Interests notes receivable, taking into account estimated VOI recoveries. The Company applies its historical default percentages based on credit scores of the individual customers to its Vacation Interests notes receivable population and evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends, defaults and past due agings to analyze the adequacy of the allowance. If actual Vacation Interests notes receivable losses differ materially from these estimates, the Company's future results of operations may be adversely impacted. Significant estimates were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of certain assets in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition. These estimates included projections of future cash flows derived from sales of VOIs, member relationship lists, management services revenue and rental income. Additionally, the Company made significant estimates of costs associated with such projected revenues including but not limited to recoveries and discount rates. The Company also made significant estimates which include: (i) allowance for loan and contract losses and provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue; (ii) estimated useful lives of property and equipment; (iii) estimated useful lives of intangible assets acquired; (iv) estimated costs to build or acquire any additional Vacation Interests, estimated total revenues expected to be earned on a project, related estimated provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue and sales incentives, estimated projected future cost and volume of recoveries of VOIs, estimated sales price per point and estimated number of points to be sold used to allocate certain unsold Vacation Interests to Vacation Interests cost of sales under the relative sales value method (See "Vacation Interests Cost of Sales" below for further detail on this method); and (v) the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. It is at least reasonably possible that a material change in one or more of these estimates may occur in the near term and that such change may materially affect actual results. In addition, significant estimates are used by the Company to estimate compensation expense related to employee and non-employee stock options issued by the Company under the Diamond Resorts International, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2013 Plan") and the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2015 Plan"). The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted to its employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) and employees and independent contractors of HM&C through December 31, 2014 and Mr. Lowell D. Kraff, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (with respect to the stock-based compensation issued to him in connection with the IPO) ("Non-Employees"). The expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the stock prices for a group of identified peer companies for the expected term of the stock options on the grant date (which is significantly greater than the volatility of the S&P 500® index as a whole during the same period) due to the lack of historical trading prices for the Company's common stock. The average expected option life represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding at the issuance date based on management’s estimate using the simplified method prescribed under the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14: Share-Based Payment ("SAB 14") for employee grants and the contractual term for Non-Employee grants. The risk-free interest rate is calculated based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield, with a remaining term that approximates the expected option life assumed at the date of issuance. The expected annual dividend per share is 0% based on the Company’s expected dividend rate. See " Note 22 — Stock-Based Compensation" for further detail on the Company's stock options issued under the 2013 Plan and the 2015 Plan. Management and Member Services Revenue Recognition — Management and member services revenue includes resort management fees charged to the HOAs and the Diamond Collections, as well as revenues from the Company's operation of the Clubs. These revenues are recorded and recognized as follows: • Management fee revenues are recognized in accordance with the terms of the Company's management contracts. Under the Company's management agreements, the Company collects management fees from the HOAs and Diamond Collection's non-profit members associations (the "Collection Associations"), which are recognized as revenue ratably throughout the year as earned. The management fees the Company earns are included in the HOAs' and Diamond Collections' operating budgets which, in turn, are used to establish the annual maintenance fees owed by each owner of VOIs. • The Company charges an annual fee for membership in each of the Clubs. In addition to annual dues associated with the Clubs, the Company also earns revenue associated with the legacy owners of deeded intervals at resorts that the Company acquired in its strategic acquisitions exchanging the use of their intervals for points membership in the Clubs, which requires these owners to pay the annual fees associated with Club membership, and the Company generally encourages holders of these deeded intervals to exchange the use of their intervals for points memberships in the Clubs. The Company also earns reservation protection plan revenue, which is an optional fee paid by customers when making a reservation to protect their points should they need to cancel their reservation, and through the Company's provision of other travel and discount related benefits as well as call center services provided to the HOAs and the Diamond Collections. Management and member services revenue also included commissions received under the fee-for-service agreements it had with Island One, Inc. from July 2011 until July 2013, when the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Island One, Inc. and Crescent One, LLC in exchange for $73.3 million in shares of the Company's common stock (the "Island One Acquisition"). All of these revenues are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Consolidated Resort Operations Revenue Recognition — Consolidated resort operations revenue consists of the following: • The Company functioned as an HOA for its properties located in St. Maarten through December 31, 2014 . Consolidated resort operations revenue included the maintenance fees billed to owners and the Diamond Collections in connection with the St. Maarten resorts, which were recognized ratably over the year. In addition, the owners were billed for capital project assessments to repair and replace the amenities of these resorts, as well as assessments to reserve the potential out-of-pocket deductibles for hurricanes and other natural disasters. These assessments were deferred until the refurbishment activity occurred, at which time the amounts collected were recognized as consolidated resort operations revenue with offsetting expense recorded under consolidated resort operations expense. See “ Consolidated Resort Operations Expenses ” below for further detail. All operating revenues and expenses associated with these properties were consolidated within the Company's financial statements, except for intercompany transactions, such as maintenance fees for the Company's owned inventory and management fees for the owned inventory, which were eliminated. Revenue associated with these properties historically constituted a majority of the Company's consolidated resort operations revenue. Effective January 1, 2015, however, in conjunction with the St. Maarten Deconsolidation, the consolidated resort operations revenue from the St. Maarten resorts was eliminated from the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See " Note 1—Background, Business and Basis of Presentation " for further detail on this transaction. The Company also receives: • food and beverage revenue at certain resorts whose restaurants the Company owns and operates; • lease revenue from third parties to which the Company outsources the management of its golf course and food and beverage operations at certain resorts; • revenue from providing cable, telephone and technology services to HOAs; and • other incidental revenues generated at the venues the Company owns and operates, including retail and gift shops, spa services, safe rental and ticket sales. Through December 31, 2013, consolidated resort operations revenue also included greens fees and equipment rental fees at certain golf courses owned and operated by the Company at certain resorts prior to outsourcing the management of these golf courses. All of these revenues are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Vacation Interests Sales Revenue Recognition — With respect to the Company's recognition of revenue from Vacation Interests sales, the Company follows the guidelines included in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 978, “Real Estate-Time-Sharing Activities” ("ASC 978"). Under ASC 978, Vacation Interests sales revenue is divided into separate components that include the revenue earned on the sale of the VOI and the revenue earned on the sales incentive given to the customer as motivation to purchase the VOI. Each component is treated as a separate transaction but both are recorded in Vacation Interests sales line of the Company's statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). In order to recognize revenue on the sale of VOIs, ASC 978 requires a demonstration of a buyer's commitment (generally a cash payment of 10% of the purchase price plus the value of any sales incentives provided). A buyer's down payment and subsequent mortgage payments are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the VOI once 10% of the purchase price plus the value of the incentives provided to consummate a VOI transaction has been covered. The Company recognizes sales of VOIs on an accrual basis after (i) a binding sales contract has been executed; (ii) the buyer has adequately demonstrated a commitment to pay for the VOI; (iii) the rescission period required under applicable law has expired; (iv) collectibility of the receivable representing the remainder of the sales price is reasonably assured; and (v) the Company has completed substantially all of its obligations with respect to any development related to the real estate sold (i.e., construction has been substantially completed and certain minimum project sales levels have been met). If the buyer's commitment has not met ASC 978 guidelines, the Vacation Interests sales revenue and related Vacation Interests cost of sales and direct selling costs are deferred and recognized under the installment method until the buyer's commitment is satisfied, at which time the remaining amount of the sale is recognized. The net deferred revenue is recorded as a reduction to Vacation Interests notes receivable on the Company's balance sheet. Under ASC 978, the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue is recorded as a reduction of Vacation Interests sales revenue. Vacation Interests Sales Revenue, Net — Vacation Interests sales revenue, net is comprised of Vacation Interests sales, net of a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue. Vacation Interests sales consist of revenue from the sale of points, which can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in the Company's network for varying lengths of stay, net of an amount equal to the expense associated with sales incentives. A variety of sales incentives are routinely provided as sales tools. Sales centers have predetermined budgets for sales incentives and manage the use of incentives accordingly. A provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue is recorded upon completion of each financed sale. The provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue is calculated based on historical default experience associated with the customer's Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO") score. Additionally, the Company analyzes its allowance for loan and contract losses quarterly and makes adjustments based on current trends in consumer loan delinquencies and defaults and other criteria, if necessary. All of the Company's Vacation Interests sales revenue, net is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. Interest Revenue — The Company's interest revenue consists primarily of interest earned on consumer loans. Interest earned on consumer loans is accrued based on the contractual provisions of the loan documents. Interest accruals on consumer loans are suspended at the earliest of (i) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent, or (ii) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings. If payments are received while a consumer loan is considered delinquent, interest is recognized on a cash basis. Interest accrual resumes once a customer has made six timely payments on the loan and brought the account current. All interest revenue is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment, with the exception of interest revenue earned on the Company's bank account balances, which is reported in corporate and other. Other Revenue — Other revenue includes (i) collection fees paid by owners when they bring their maintenance fee accounts current after collection efforts have been made by the Company on behalf of the HOAs and Collection Associations; (ii) closing costs paid by purchasers on sales of VOIs; (iii) revenue associated with certain sales incentives given to customers as motivation to purchase a VOI (in an amount equal to the expense associated with such sales incentives), which is recorded upon recognition of the related VOI sales revenue; (iv) late/impound fees assessed on consumer loans; (v) loan servicing fees earned for servicing third-party portfolios; (vi) commission revenue earned from certain third-party lenders that provide consumer financing for sales of the Company's VOIs in Europe; and (vii) revenue recognized when customers' non-refundable deposits are forfeited upon the customers' failure to close on VOI transactions. Revenues associated with item (i) above are allocated to the Company's hospitality and management services business segment. Revenues associated with the remaining items above are allocated to the Company's Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. Management and Member Services Expense —Substantially all direct expenses related to the provision of services to the HOAs (other than for the Company's St. Maarten resorts, for which the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014 ) and the Diamond Collections are recovered through the Company's management agreements and, consequently, are not recorded as expenses. The Company passes through to the HOAs and the Collection Associations certain overhead charges incurred to manage the resorts. In accordance with guidance included in ASC 605-45, “Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations," reimbursements from the HOAs and the Collection Associations relating to pass-through costs are recorded net of the related expenses. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Expenses associated with the Company's operation of the Clubs include costs incurred for outsourced (prior to December 31, 2015) and in-house call centers, annual membership fees paid to a third-party exchange company on behalf of members of the Clubs, as applicable, and administrative expenses. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Between January 1, 2013 and July 24, 2013, management and member services expenses also included costs incurred under the fee-for-service agreements with Island One, Inc. This arrangement was terminated in conjunction with the Island One Acquisition. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Consolidated Resort Operations Expense — Through December 31, 2014, with respect to the two resorts located in St. Maarten, the Company recorded expenses associated with housekeeping, front desk, maintenance, landscaping and other similar activities, which were recovered by the maintenance fees recorded in consolidated resort operations revenue. In addition, for these two properties, the Company also billed the owners for capital project assessments to repair and replace the amenities of these resorts, as well as assessments to reserve the potential out-of-pocket deductibles for hurricanes and other natural disasters. These assessments were deferred until the refurbishment activity occurred, at which time the amounts collected were recognized as consolidated resort operations revenue with offsetting expense recorded under consolidated resort operations expense. The Company's expense associated with the St. Maarten properties historically constituted a majority of the Company's consolidated resort operations expense. Effective January 1, 2015, however, in conjunction with the St. Maarten Deconsolidation, the consolidated resort operations expense from the St. Maarten resorts was eliminated from the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See " Note 1—Background, Business and Basis of Presentation " for further detail on the St. Maarten Deconsolidation. Furthermore, consolidated resort operations expense includes the costs related to food and beverage operations at certain resorts whose restaurants the Company operates directly. Similarly, the expenses of operating spas and retail and gift shops are included in consolidated resort operations expense. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Through December 31, 2013, consolidated resort operations expense also included costs at certain golf courses owned and operated by the Company at certain resorts prior to outsourcing the management of these golf courses. Vacation Interests Cost of Sales — At the time the Company records Vacation Interests sales revenue, it records the related Vacation Interests cost of sales. The Company records Vacation Interests cost of sales using the relative sales value method in accordance with ASC 978. This method, which was originally designed more for developers of timeshare resorts, requires the Company to make a number of projections and estimates, which are subject to significant uncertainty. In order to determine the amounts that must be expensed for each dollar of Vacation Interests sales with respect to a particular phase. The Company is required to prepare a forecast of sales and certain costs for the entire phase’s life cycle. These forecasts require the Company to estimate, among other things, the costs to acquire (or if applicable, build) additional VOIs, the total revenues expected to be earned for the phase (including estimations of sales price per point and the aggregate number of points to be sold), the proper provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue, sales incentives, and the projected future cost and volume of recoveries of VOIs. Then, these costs as a percentage of Vacation Interests sales are determined and that percentage is applied retroactively to all prior sales and is applied to sales within the current period and future periods with respect to a particular phase. These projections are reviewed on a regular basis, and the relevant estimates used in the projections are revised (if necessary) based upon historical results and management's new estimates. The Company requires a seasoning of pricing strategy changes before such changes fully affect the projections, which generally occurs over a six-month period. If any estimates are revised, the Company is required to adjust its Vacation Interests cost of sales using the revised estimates, and the entire adjustment required to correct Vacation Interests cost of sales over the life of a phrase to date is taken in the period in which the estimates are revised. Accordingly, small changes in any of the numerous estimates in the model can have a significant financial statement impact, both positively and negatively, due to the retroactive adjustment required by ASC 978. See “ Unsold Vacation Interests, net ” below for further detail. All of these costs are allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. See " Note 3 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” (“Note 3”) for a discussion of changes made to the Company's application of the relative sales value model as of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Advertising, Sales and Marketing Costs — Advertising, sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs directly related to VOI sales that are not eligible for revenue recognition under ASC 978, as described in "— Vacation Interests Sales Revenue Recognition ” above, which are deferred along with related revenue until the buyer's commitment requirements are satisfied. Advertising, sales and marketing costs are allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. Advertising expense recognized was $10.3 million , $7.3 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Vacation Interests Carrying Cost, Net — The Company is responsible for paying annual maintenance fees and reserves to the HOAs and the Collection Associations on its unsold VOIs. Vacation Interests carrying cost, net also includes amounts paid for delinquent maintenance fees related to VOIs eligible for recovery pursuant to the Company's inventory recovery and assignment agreements ("IRAAs") except for amounts that are capitalized to unsold Vacation Interests, net. See " Note 7 — Transactions with Related Parties — Inventory Recovery and Assignment Agreements" for further detail on IRAAs. To offset the Company's gross Vacation Interests carrying cost, the Company rents VOIs controlled by the Company to third parties on a short-term basis. The Company also generates revenue on sales of sampler programs ("Sampler Packages"), which allow prospective owners to stay at a resort property on a trial basis. This revenue and the associated expenses are deferred until the vacation is used by the customer or the expiration date, whichever is earlier. Revenue from resort rentals and Sampler Packages is recognized as a reduction to Vacation Interests carrying cost, with the exception of revenue from the Company's European sampler product, which has a duration of three years and is treated as Vacation Interests sales revenue. Vacation Interests carrying cost, net is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. Loan Portfolio Expense — Loan portfolio expense includes payroll and administrative costs of the finance operations and credit card processing fees. These costs are expensed as incurred, with the exception of Vacation Interests notes receivable origination costs, which are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related Vacation Interests notes receivable as an adjustment to interest revenue using the effective interest method in accordance with guidelines issued under ASC 310, “Receivables” ("ASC 310"). These expenses are allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment, with the exception of a portion of expenses incurred by the in-house collections department, which are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Other Operating Expenses — Other operating expenses include credit card fees incurred by the Company when customers remit down payments associated with a VOI purchase in the form of credit cards and also include certain sales incentives given to customers as motivation to purchase VOIs, all of which are expensed as the related Vacation Interests sales revenue is recognized. These expenses are allocated to the Company's Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. General and Administrative Expense — General and administrative expense includes payroll and benefits, legal, audit and other professional services, costs related to mergers and acquisitions, travel costs, technology-related costs, corporate facility expense. In addition, general and administrative expense includes recovery of the Company's expenses incurred on behalf of the HOAs and the Diamond Collections the Company manages in accordance with the Company's management agreements. In accordance with guidance included in ASC 605-45, “Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations," recovery from the HOAs and the Collection Associations is recorded net of the related expense. General and Administrative expense is not allocated to the Company's business segments, but rather are reported under corporate and other. Depreciation and Amortization — The Company records depreciation expense in connection with depreciable property and equipment it purchased or acquired, including buildings and leasehold improvements, furniture and office equipment, land improvements and computer software and equipment. In addition, the Company records amortization expense on intangible assets with a finite life acquired by the Company, including management contracts, member relationships, distributor relationships and others. Depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated to the Company's business segments, but rather is reported in corporate and other. Interest Expense — Interest expense related to corporate-level indebtedness is reported in corporate and other. Interest expense related to the Company's securitizations and consumer loan financings is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. Stock-based Compensation Expense —The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). The Company measures stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and records the related expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See " Note 22—Stock-Based Compensation " for further detail on the Company's stock-based compensation awards. Income Taxes — The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset for its net operating losses, a portion of which the use thereof is subject to limitations. As a result of uncertainties regarding the Company’s ability to utilize such net operating loss carry forwards, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets attributable to these net operating losses. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provide a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination, based solely on the technical merits. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being sustained on examination. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market funds, and all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less. Cash in Escrow and Restricted Cash — Cash in escrow consists of deposits received on sales of VOIs that are held in escrow until the legal rescission period has expired. Restricted cash consists primarily of reserve cash held for the benefit of the secured note holders including the prefunding account and cash collections on certain Vacation Interests notes receivable that secure collateralized notes. Vacation Interests notes receivable and related allowance — The Company accounts for Vacation Interests notes receivable in accordance with ASC 310. Vacation Interests notes receivable include mortgages receivable for the financing of previously sold intervals and contracts receivable for the financing of points. Vacation Interests notes receivable that the Company originates or acquires are recorded net of (i) deferred loan and contract costs; (ii) the discount or premium on the acquired mortgage pool; and (iii) the related allowance for loan and contract losses. Loan and contract origination costs incurred in connection with providing financing for VOIs ar

Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements [Abstract]
Revision to Previously Issued Financing Statements	Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements The Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements to reflect a change in the application of its relative sales value model used to calculate Vacation Interests cost of sales as a change in estimate as described below. As discussed in "Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our consolidated financial statements, the Company uses the relative sales value method to account for Vacation Interests cost of sales in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) “Real Estate - Timesharing Activities” (“ASC 978”), for which the Company relies on complex financial models that began with the Company’s implementation of ASC 978 in 2005 and continue prospectively through the theoretical sell-out of the respective inventory. These models incorporate a variety of estimates, including the total revenues to be earned over the life of a “phase” (as defined in ASC 978) based upon an estimated retail sales price per point. Since the Company’s implementation of ASC 978 through the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company treated most of its resort trusts (each a “Diamond Collection”) as separate phases for which the Company maintained separate relative sales value models, as the Diamond Collections were considered distinct pools of inventory. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company began the practice of transferring (including through bulk transfer agreements) significant amounts of Company-owned inventory and inventory that had been held by certain Diamond Collections in the U.S. (“U.S. Collections”) to those of the Company’s U.S. Collections that were in active sales. As a result of this change, the U.S. Collections became more homogeneous in nature (i.e., inventory within a single resort could now be included in multiple U.S. Collections). This represented a change in the Company’s internal vacation ownership interests (“Vacation Interests”) inventory management strategy intended to maintain adequate inventory levels to satisfy future projected sales levels. As a result, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company transitioned to one consolidated relative sales value model for all of the U.S. Collections, which was more reflective of the Company’s current business model as it relates to the Company’s internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy. In doing so, the Company combined a higher concentration of inventory within the U.S. Collections that had a lower average future retail sales price per point with a smaller concentration of inventory that had a higher average future retail sales price per point. Accordingly, the total weighted average estimated revenue over the life of the U.S. Collections phase under one model exceeded that of the total individual models combined. In addition, the cost pools of each individual relative sales value model varied due to differences in the acquisition cost of Vacation Interests inventory in each U.S. Collection. The inception-to-date cost off rate was also impacted by these differences in cost when the relative sales value model was changed for the U.S. Collections. This resulted in a lower cumulative cost of sales percentage (higher estimated future revenue and lower overall cost off rate) as of September 30, 2014. Originally, the Company had concluded that this decrease in Vacation Interests cost of sales should be recognized prospectively. However, subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, management determined that the change related to the Company’s internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy should have been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under ASC 978. Specifically, the Company should have recorded Unsold Vacation Interests, net in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 as if the lower Vacation Interests cost of sales percentage was applied at the beginning of the phase. The resulting $33.2 million adjustment in the year ended December 31, 2014 should have been recorded as an increase to Unsold Vacation Interests, net along with a corresponding reduction in the Vacation Interests cost of sales for that period, rather than applying it as a reduction to the future cost of sales percentage. This change also resulted in an increase of $9.0 million to Vacation Interests cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in Unsold Vacation Interests, net for the year ended December 31, 2015. The restatement to reflect this correction in the application of the relative sales value model in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales is referred to herein as the "Restatement." The table below sets forth balances as originally reported for balance sheet categories impacted by the Restatement, the impact of the Restatement on such categories and revised balances for such categories as of December 31 of each of the following years (in thousands): 2015 2014 As originally reported Impact of Restatement As restated As originally reported Impact of Restatement As restated Unsold Vacation Interests, net $ 358,278 $ 24,163 $ 382,441 $ 262,172 $ 33,161 $ 295,333 Income tax receivable 147 — 147 467 229 696 Deferred tax asset 577 527 1,104 423 441 864 Total assets $ 1,993,026 $ 24,690 $ 2,017,716 $ 1,577,776 $ 33,831 $ 1,611,607 Accrued liabilities $ 221,662 $ 257 $ 221,919 $ 134,680 $ — $ 134,680 Income taxes payable 346 14 360 108 230 338 Deferred income taxes 92,829 9,207 102,036 47,250 $ 12,797 60,047 Total liabilities 1,722,064 9,478 1,731,542 1,310,427 13,027 1,323,454 Accumulated deficit (31,024 ) 15,212 (15,812 ) (180,502 ) 20,804 (159,698 ) Total stockholders' equity 270,962 15,212 286,174 267,349 20,804 288,153 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 1,993,026 $ 24,690 $ 2,017,716 $ 1,577,776 $ 33,831 $ 1,611,607 The table below sets forth the amount as originally reported for the categories presented in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) that were impacted by the Restatement, the impact of the Restatement on such categories and restated amount for such categories for each of the years ended December 31 (in thousands, except per share data): 2015 2014 As originally reported Impact of Restatement As restated As originally reported Impact of Restatement As restated Vacation Interests cost of sales $ 28,721 $ 8,998 $ 37,719 $ 63,499 $ (33,161 ) $ 30,338 Total costs and expenses 702,392 8,998 711,390 734,875 (33,161 ) 701,714 Income before provision for income taxes 251,648 (8,998 ) 242,650 109,691 33,161 142,852 Provision for income taxes 102,170 (3,406 ) 98,764 50,234 12,357 62,591 Net income (loss) $ 149,478 $ (5,592 ) $ 143,886 $ 59,457 $ 20,804 $ 80,261 Net income (loss) per share: Basic $ 2.05 $ (0.08 ) $ 1.97 $ 0.79 $ 0.27 $ 1.06 Diluted $ 1.98 $ (0.07 ) $ 1.91 $ 0.77 $ 0.27 $ 1.04 The restatement of Vacation Interests cost of sale resulted in a restatement of (i) income taxes receivables, deferred tax asset, accrued liabilities (related to the liability for unrecognized tax benefit), deferred income taxes and accumulated deficit in our consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented above, and (ii) Vacation Interests cost of sale and provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the periods presented above.

Concentrations of Risk

Concentrations of Risk [Abstract]
Concentrations of Risk	Concentrations of Risk Credit Risk —The Company is exposed to on-balance sheet credit risk related to its Vacation Interests notes receivable. The Company offers financing to the buyers of VOIs and bears the risk of defaults on promissory notes delivered to it by buyers of VOIs. If a buyer of VOIs defaults, the Company generally attempts to resell such VOIs by exercise of a power of sale. The associated marketing, selling, and administrative costs from the original sale are not recovered, and such costs must be incurred again to resell the VOIs. Although in many cases the Company may have recourse against a buyer of VOIs for the unpaid price, certain states have laws that limit the Company’s ability to recover personal judgments against customers who have defaulted on their loans. The Company has generally not pursued this remedy. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, cash in escrow, and restricted cash with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean. A significant portion of the Company's cash is maintained with a select few banks and is, accordingly, subject to credit risk. Periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of financial institutions maintaining the deposits are performed to evaluate and mitigate, if necessary, any credit risk. Availability of Funding Sources —The Company has historically funded Vacation Interests notes receivable and unsold Vacation Interests with borrowings through its financing facilities and internally generated funds. Borrowings are in turn repaid with the proceeds received by the Company from repayments of such Vacation Interests notes receivable. To the extent that the Company is not successful in maintaining or replacing existing financings, it may have to curtail its sales and marketing operations or sell assets, thereby resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Geographic Concentration —Portions of the Company's consumer loan portfolio are concentrated in certain geographic regions within the U.S. The deterioration of the economic condition and financial well-being of the regions in which the Company has significant loan concentrations could adversely affect the results of operations for its consumer loan portfolio business. The credit risk inherent in such concentrations is dependent upon regional and general economic stability, which affects property values and the financial well-being of the borrowers. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company's loans to California residents constituted 33.3% and 32.4% , respectively, of the consumer loan portfolio. No other state or foreign country concentration accounted for more than 10.0% of the portfolio. Interest Rate Risk —Since a significant portion of the Company’s indebtedness bears interest at variable rates, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under the Company’s derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company derives net interest income from its financing activities because the interest rates it charges its customers who finance the purchase of their VOIs exceed the interest rates the Company pays to its lenders. Since the Company’s customer receivables generally bear interest at fixed rates, increases in interest rates will erode the spread in interest rates that the Company has historically obtained. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company entered into a series of interest rate cap and swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate increases, all of which except the December 2015 Swap (discussed below) were terminated by December 31, 2015. On December 11, 2015, as required by the Company's $200.0 million conduit facility that was most recently amended on July 1, 2015 (the "Conduit Facility"), the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, effective December 15, 2015 (the "December 2015 Swap"). The December 2015 Swap has a notional amount of $20.5 million and is scheduled to mature on December 20, 2025 . The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.38% based on a floating notional amount in accordance with a pre-determined amortization schedule, and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR. The December 2015 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting. See " Note 17—Borrowings " for further detail on the Conduit Facility. As of December 31, 2015 , the fair value of the December 2015 Swap was calculated to be $0.1 million based on a valuation report provided by a counterparty. The fair value was recorded as a derivative liability with an offsetting charge to interest expense.

Cash in Escrow and Restricted Cash [Abstract]
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash in Escrow and Restricted Cash The nature of selected balances included in cash in escrow and restricted cash includes: Securitization and Funding Facilities collection and reserve cash— prefunding and reserve cash held for the benefit of secured note holders and cash collections on certain Vacation Interests notes receivable that secure collateralized notes. The Conduit Facility and the $100.0 million loan sale facility with Quorum Federal Credit Union (the "Quorum Facility") are collectively referred to as the "Funding Facilities." See "Note 17—Borrowings" for further detail on the Conduit Facility and the Quorum Facility. As of December 31, 2014, Securitization and Funding Facilities collection and reserve cash included $4.4 million related to the future funding of Vacation Interests notes receivable associated with the issuance of $260.0 million of investment-grade rated securities in a securitization transaction completed on November 20, 2014 (the "DROT 2014-1 Notes"). $4.4 million was released to the Company's unrestricted cash account in January 2015. Securitization and Funding Facilities collection and reserve cash as of December 31, 2015 did not include any such amount.

The "No FICO Scores" category in the table above is primarily comprised of customers who live outside of the U.S." id="sjs-B4" xml:space="preserve"> Vacation Interests Notes Receivable and Allowance The Company provides financing to purchasers of VOIs at North American and St. Maarten sales centers that is collateralized by their VOIs. Eligibility for this financing is principally dependent upon the customers’ FICO credit scores and other factors based on review of the customer's credit history. As of December 31, 2015 , the Vacation Interests notes receivable bore interest at fixed rates ranging from 6.0% and 18.0% . The terms of the Vacation Interests notes receivable range from two years to 15 years and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Vacation Interests notes receivable originated by the Company within the last five years have a term of 10 years. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding Vacation Interests notes receivable was 14.6% and 14.8% as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company charges off Vacation Interests notes receivable upon the earliest of (i) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent or (ii) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings. Once a delinquent customer has brought the account current following the event leading to the charge-off and makes six timely payments, the charge-off is reversed. A default in a customer's initial payment (after unsuccessful collection efforts) results in a cancellation of the sale. All collection and foreclosure costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. Vacation Interests notes receivable from 91 to 180 days past due as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were 2.5% and 2.0% of gross Vacation Interests notes receivable, respectively. The Vacation Interests notes receivable, net balance includes deferred origination costs related to Vacation Interests notes receivable originated by the Company, net of the related allowance. Vacation Interests notes receivable origination costs incurred in connection with providing financing for VOIs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the Vacation Interests notes receivable, based on historical prepayments, as a decrease to interest revenue using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred loan and contract origination costs charged to interest revenue was $12.6 million, $8.9 million and $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Transactions with Related Parties	Note 7 — Transactions with Related Parties Due from Related Parties, Net, and Due to Related Parties, Net Amounts due from related parties, net and due to related parties, net consist primarily of transactions with HOAs or Collection Associations for which the Company acts as the management company. Due from related parties, net, transactions include (i) management fees for the Company’s role as the management company; (ii) certain expenses reimbursed by HOAs and Collection Associations; and (iii) the recovery of a portion of the Company’s Vacation Interests carrying costs, management and member services, consolidated resort operations, loan portfolio and general and administrative expenses that are incurred on behalf of the HOAs and the Collection Associations according to a pre-determined schedule approved by the board of directors at each HOA and Collection Association. Due to related parties, net, transactions include (i) the amounts due to HOAs and Collection Associations under the IRAAs that the Company enters into regularly with certain HOAs and similar agreements with the Collection Associations, pursuant to which the Company recaptures VOIs, either in the form of vacation points or vacation intervals, and may recover the underlying inventory at a later date; (ii) the maintenance fee and assessment fee liability owed to HOAs and Collection Associations for VOIs owned by the Company (generally this liability is recorded on January 1 of each year for the entire amount of annual maintenance and assessment fees, and is relieved throughout the year by payments remitted to the HOAs and the Collection Associations; these maintenance and assessment fees are also recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized ratably over the year); (iii) cleaning fees owed to the HOAs for room stays paid by the Company's customers or by a Club on behalf of a member where the frequency of the cleans exceed those covered by the respective maintenance fees; and (v) miscellaneous transactions with other non-HOA related parties. Amounts due from related parties and due to related parties, some of which are due on demand, carry no interest. Due to the fact that the right of offset exists between the Company and the respective HOAs and Collection Associations, the Company evaluates amounts due to and from each HOA and Collection Association at each reporting period to reduce the receivables and the payables on each party's books of record. Any remaining balances are then reclassified as either a net due to or a net due from related parties for each HOA and Collection Association in accordance with the requirements of ASC 210, "Balance Sheet— Offsetting." Due from related parties, net consisted of the following as of December 31 of each of the following years (in thousands): 2015 2014 Amounts due from HOAs and Collection Associations $ 42,393 $ 51,207 Amounts due from other 42 444 Total due from related parties, net $ 42,435 $ 51,651 Due to related parties, net consisted of the following as of December 31 of each of the following years (in thousands): 2015 2014 Amounts due to HOAs and Collection Associations $ 54,686 $ 34,732 Amounts due to other 92 36 Total due to related parties, net $ 54,778 $ 34,768 Inventory Recovery and Assignment Agreements The Company entered into IRAAs with substantially all HOAs for its managed resorts in North America and similar arrangements with all of the Collection Associations and a majority of its European managed resorts, pursuant to which it recaptures VOIs, either in the form of points or intervals, and brings them into its inventory for sale to customers. Under these agreements, the Company is required to pay between 30% and 100% of the annual maintenance and assessment fees to the HOAs and the Collection Associations for any VOIs that have become eligible for recovery. Generally, these agreements automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless expressly terminated by either party in advance of the agreement expiration period. Such agreements contain provisions for the Company to utilize the VOIs associated with such maintenance fees and to reclaim such VOIs in the future. Generally, the agreements provide for an initial June 30 settlement date and adjustments thereafter for owners that become current subsequent to the June 30 settlement date. Management Services Included within the amounts reported as management and member services revenue are revenues from resort management services provided to the HOAs and the Collection Associations, which totaled $105.5 million , $96.2 million and $81.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. See " Note 1 — Background, Business and Basis of Presentation" above for detail of these services performed. Hospitality Management and Consulting Service, LLC ("HM&C") Management Services Agreement (the "HM&C Agreement") HM&C was beneficially owned and controlled by Stephen J. Cloobeck, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and David F. Palmer, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, until the consummation of the HM&C Acquisition (as defined and discussed below), effective as of January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the HM&C Agreement, HM&C has provided two categories of management services to the Company: (i) executive and strategic oversight of the services that the Company provides to HOAs and the Collection Associations through the Company’s hospitality and management services operations, for the benefit of the Company, the HOAs and the Collection Associations; and (ii) executive, corporate and strategic oversight of the Company’s operations and certain other administrative services. Prior to the HM&C Acquisition, pursuant to the HM&C Agreement, HM&C was entitled to receive (a) a lump sum annual management fee for providing HOA management services; (b) a lump sum annual management fee for providing corporate management services; (c) a lump sum annual incentive payment based on performance metrics determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, subject to certain minimum amounts set forth in the HM&C Agreement; and (d) reimbursement of HM&C's expenses incurred in connection with its activities under the HM&C Agreement. HM&C Acquisition On January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), whereby it acquired from an entity controlled by Mr. Cloobeck and an entity controlled by Mr. Palmer (which entities owned 95% and 5% of the outstanding membership interests of HM&C, respectively) all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 (the "HM&C Acquisition"), which is recorded as goodwill on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, effective January 1, 2015, transactions between the Company and HM&C were fully eliminated from the Company's consolidated balance sheet, as HM&C became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Master Agreement Concurrent with the Company's entry into the Purchase Agreement, on January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement") with Mr. Cloobeck, HM&C, JHJM Nevada I, LLC ("JHJM") and other entities controlled by Mr. Cloobeck or his immediate family members. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the parties made certain covenants to and agreements with the other parties, including: (i) the termination, effective as of January 1, 2015, of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C (the "JHJM Agreement"); (ii) the conveyance to the Company of exclusive rights to market timeshare and vacation ownership properties from a prime location adjacent to Polo Towers on the “Las Vegas Strip,” pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iii) Mr. Cloobeck’s agreement to various restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants; and (iv) Mr. Cloobeck’s grant to the Company of a license to use Mr. Cloobeck’s persona, including his name, likeness and voice. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement, the Company paid Mr. Cloobeck or his designees $16.5 million and incurred $0.3 million in expenses related to this transaction.

Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]	Goodwill Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. As required by ASC 350, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather evaluates goodwill by reporting unit for potential impairment on an annual basis or at other times during the year if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below the carrying amount. The Company performed its annual evaluation of potential impairment of goodwill as required in the ordinary course of business during the fourth quarter of 2015 . The Company assessed various qualitative factors and determined that the fair values of its reporting units were not below their respective carrying value. As such, the Company concluded that the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment tests were unnecessary.

Borrowings pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 450 basis points (with a one percent LIBOR floor applicable only to the term loan portion) or an alternate base rate plus 350 basis points. The Company used the proceeds of the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility, as well as $5.4 million of cash on hand, to fund the $418.9 million redemption amount for the outstanding Senior Secured Notes, including the applicable redemption premium and accrued and unpaid interest up to (but excluding) the June 9, 2014 redemption date, and to repay all outstanding indebtedness, together with accrued interest and fees, under three inventory loans (previously entered into in connection with various acquisitions). In conjunction with the Company's entry into the Senior Credit Facility Agreement, the Company also terminated its previous revolving credit facility, under which no borrowings were then outstanding. See below for the definition of and further detail on these retired borrowings. On December 22, 2014, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility Agreement (the "First Amendment"), which allowed the Company to accelerate its use of restricted payments for its stock repurchase program. On December 3, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amendment and First Incremental Assumption Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to the Senior Credit Facility Agreement. The Second Amendment provides for a $150.0 million incremental term loan that bears the same interest rate and terms as described for the original term loan above. The Company received $147.0 million in proceeds upon the closing of the Incremental Term Loan, which was issued with a 2.0% original issue discount. Other significant terms of the Senior Credit Facility include: (i) quarterly amortization payments of $1.5 million commencing in March 2017; (ii) an excess cash flow sweep that varies depending on the Company's secured leverage ratio (which represents the ratio of (1) secured total debt to (2) Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered); the Company is required to pay 50% of its excess cash flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) if the secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.0 :1, 25% of its excess cash flow if the secured leverage ratio is greater than 1.5 :1, but equal to or less than 2.0 :1, and there is no excess cash flow sweep due when the secured leverage ratio is equal to or less than 1.5 :1; (iii) a soft call provision of 1.01 until June 3, 2016; (iv) no ongoing maintenance financial covenants for the term loan, and a financial covenant calculation required on the revolving line of credit if outstanding loans under the revolving line of credit exceed 25% of the commitment amount as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; (v) the availability of additional incremental borrowings subject to meeting a required secured leverage ratio; and (vi) the Company's ability to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or share repurchases, up to the remaining portion of the cash flows that is not used to amortize debt pursuant to the excess cash flow provision described above. At December 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance under the term loan (including the Incremental Term Loan) was $574.7 million , and no principal balance was outstanding under the revolving line of credit. At December 31, 2015 , the Company was in compliance with all of the Senior Credit Facility covenants. Conduit Facility On February 5, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated Conduit Facility agreement that extended the maturity date of the facility to April 10, 2017. The Conduit Facility is renewable for 364 -day periods at the election of the lenders upon maturity. The overall advance rate on loans receivable in the portfolio is limited to 88% of the aggregate face value of eligible loans. The Conduit Facility originally bore interest at LIBOR or the commercial paper rate (having a floor of 0.50% ) plus a usage-fee rate of 2.75% , and has a non-use fee of 0.75% . In connection with the amendment to the Conduit Facility agreement that was entered into on June 26, 2015 ("the June 2015 Amendment"), the usage-fee rate was reduced to 2.25% . The June 2015 Amendment also provides, among other things, (i) that, at any time the outstanding note balance has been reduced to zero in connection with the delivery of a prepayment notice, the first borrowing thereafter must include a minimum of 250 timeshare loans and (ii) for the inclusion of timeshare loans that have been executed through the utilization of electronic signature and electronic vaulting and management services. In accordance with the requirements of the July 2015 Amendment, the Company posted a reserve payment in the amount of $0.4 million against the derivative instruments associated with the Conduit Facility. This reserve payment was refunded to the Company upon the Completion of the DROT 2015-1 Notes (see definition below) in which more than 75% of the outstanding balance under the Conduit Facility was repaid using the proceeds from such securitization or other financing. The Conduit Facility is subject to covenants, including as to the maintenance of specific financial ratios. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants. Securitization Notes On April 27, 2011, the Company issued the DROT 2011 Notes, which mature on March 20, 2023 and carry an interest rate of 4.0% . The net proceeds were used to pay off in full the $36.4 million then-outstanding principal balance under the Conduit Facility, to pay down $7.0 million of the Quorum Facility, to pay requisite accrued interest and fees associated with both facilities, and to pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the DROT 2011 Notes, including the funding of a reserve account required thereby. On January 23, 2013, the Company issued the DROT 2013-1 Notes with a face value of $93.6 million (the "DROT 2013-1 Notes"). The DROT 2013-1 Notes mature on January 20, 2025 and carry a weighted average interest rate of 2.0% . The net proceeds were used to pay off the $71.3 million then-outstanding principal balance under the Conduit Facility and to pay expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the DROT 2013-1 Notes, including the funding of a reserve account required thereby. On September 20, 2013, the Company issued the Diamond Resorts Tempus Owner Trust 2013 Notes with a face value of $31.0 million (the "Tempus 2013 Notes"). The Tempus 2013 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum and mature on December 20, 2023. On November 20, 2013, the Company completed a securitization transaction involving the issuance of $225.0 million of investment-grade rated securities (the "DROT 2013-2 Notes") that included a $44.7 million prefunding account. The DROT 2013-2 Notes consisted of two tranches of vacation ownership loan-backed notes that included $213.2 million of Class A tranche notes and $11.8 million of Class B tranche notes. The interest rates for the Class A tranche notes and the Class B tranche notes are 2.3% and 2.6% , respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 2.3% . The initial proceeds were used to pay off the $152.8 million then-outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and fees associated with the Conduit Facility, terminate the two interest rate swap agreements then in effect, pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the DROT 2013-2 Notes, and fund related reserve accounts (including the prefunding account) with any remaining proceeds transferred to the Company for general corporate use. As of December 31, 2014 , cash in escrow and restricted cash included $23.3 million related to the prefunding account, all of which was released to the Company's unrestricted cash account in January 2014. On November 20, 2014, the Company completed the DROT 2014-1 Notes that included a $51.8 million prefunding account. The DROT 2014-1 Notes consisted of two tranches of vacation ownership loan-backed notes that included $235.6 million of Class A tranche notes and $24.4 million of Class B tranche notes. The interest rates for the Class A tranche notes and the Class B tranche notes are 2.5% and 3.0% , respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 2.6% . The initial proceeds were used to pay off the $141.3 million then-outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest and fees associated with the Conduit Facility, pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the DROT 2014-1 Notes and fund related reserve accounts (including the prefunding account) with the remaining proceeds transferred to us for general corporate use. As of December 31, 2014, cash in escrow and restricted cash includes $4.4 million related to the prefunding account, all of which was released to the Company's unrestricted cash account in January 2015. On July 29, 2015, the Company completed a securitization involving the issuance of investment-grade rated $170.0 million DROT 2015-1 Notes (the "DROT 2015-1 Notes"). The interest rates for the $158.5 million Class A tranche notes and the $11.5 million Class B tranche notes are 2.7% and 3.2% , respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 2.8% . The advance rate for this transaction is 96.0% . The proceeds from the DROT 2015-1 Notes were used to repay all of the outstanding balance plus accrued interest under the Conduit Facility, as well as to pay debt issuance cost related to the DROT 2015-1 Notes, with the remaining proceeds transferred to the Company for general corporate use, and the reserve payment described above was refunded to the Company. On November 17, 2015, the Company completed a securitization involving the issuance of investment-grade rated $180.0 million DROT 2015-2 Notes (the "DROT 2015-2 Notes"). The interest rates for the $159.4 million Class A tranche notes and the $20.6 million Class B tranche notes are 3.0% and 3.5% , respectively. The overall weighted average interest rate is 3.1% .

The DROT 2015-2 Notes initially included $33.6 million related to the future funding of Vacation Interests notes receivable, all of which was released to the Company's unrestricted cash account by December 31, 2015. Quorum Facility The Company's subsidiary, DRI Quorum 2010, LLC, entered into a Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2010 with Quorum Federal Credit Union as purchaser. On September 30, 2015, pursuant to a First Amendment to the Amendment and Restated Loan Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Company amended the Quorum Facility to increase the aggregate minimum committed amount from $80.0 million to $100.0 million and to extend the term of the agreement to December 31, 2017, provided that Quorum Federal Credit Union may further extend the term for additional periods by written notice. In connection with the Island One Acquisition completed on July 24, 2013, the Company assumed the loan sale agreement entered into by a subsidiary of Island One, Inc. on January 31, 2012 with Quorum that provides for an aggregate minimum $15.0 million loan sale facility (the "Island One Quorum Funding Facility"). The Island One Quorum Funding Facility provides for a purchase period of three years (which was subsequently extended to December 31, 2017) at a variable program fee of the published Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 6.0% , with a floor of 8.0% . The loan purchase commitment is conditional upon certain portfolio delinquency and default performance measurements. As of December 31, 2015, the weighted average advance rate Quorum Facility and the Island One Quorum Funding Facility was 86.2% and the weighted average interest rate was 4.6% . Notes Payable During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued three unsecured notes to finance premiums on certain insurance policies. Two of the unsecured notes matured in February 2016 and each of these two notes carried an interest rate of 2.7% per annum. The third unsecured note is scheduled to mature in October 2016 and carries an interest rate of 2.4% per annum. In addition, the Company purchased certain software licenses during the year ended December 31, 2014, with annual interest-free payments due for the next three years, and this obligation was recorded at fair value using a discount rate of 5.0% . The following table presents selected information on the Company’s borrowings as of the dates presented below (dollars in thousands): December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Principal Weighted Maturity Gross Amount of Vacation Interests Notes Receivable as Collateral Borrowing / Funding Availability Principal Senior Credit Facility $ 574,666 5.5% 5/9/2021 $ — $ 25,000 $ 442,775 Original Issue discount related to Senior Credit Facilities (4,735 ) (2,055 ) Notes payable-insurance policies 4,586 2.4% Various — — 4,286 Notes payable-other 164 5.0% Various — — 326 Total Corporate Indebtedness 574,681 — 25,000 445,332 Diamond Resorts Owner Trust Series 2015-2 (1) 172,583 3.1% 5/22/2028 180,090 — — Diamond Resorts Owner Trust Series 2014-1 (1) 140,256 2.6% 5/20/2027 151,096 — 247,992 Diamond Resorts Owner Trust Series 2015-1 (1) 126,776 2.8% 7/20/2027 133,860 — — Diamond Resorts Owners Trust 2013-2 (1) 84,659 2.3% 5/20/2026 94,065 — 131,952 Quorum Facility (1) 45,411 4.6% 12/31/2017 45,270 54,589 (2) 52,315 Diamond Resorts Owner Trust 2013-1 (1) 30,681 2.0% 1/20/2025 34,091 — 42,838 Conduit Facility (1) 22,538 2.8% 4/10/2017 24,200 177,462 (2) — Diamond Resorts Owner Trust 2011 (1) 12,073 4.0% 3/20/2023 12,752 — 17,124 Original issue discount related to Diamond Resorts Owner Trust Series 2011 (103 ) — — (156 ) Diamond Resorts Tempus Owner Trust 2013 (1) 7,884 6.0% 12/20/2023 13,353 — 17,143 Total Securitization Notes and Funding Facilities 642,758 688,777 232,051 509,208 Total $ 1,217,439 $ 688,777 $ 257,051 $ 954,540 (1) Non-recourse indebtedness (2) Borrowing / funding availability is calculated as the difference between the maximum commitment amount and the outstanding principal balance; however, the actual availability is dependent on the amount of eligible loans that serve as the collateral for such borrowings. Borrowing Restrictions and Limitations All of the Company’s borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility, securitization notes and the Conduit Facility contain various restrictions and limitations that may affect the Company's business and affairs. These include, but are not limited to, restrictions and limitations relating to its ability to incur indebtedness and other obligations, to make investments and acquisitions, pay dividends and repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with other financial and performance covenants. The failure of the Company to comply with any of these provisions, or to pay its obligations, could result in foreclosure by the lenders of their security interests in the Company’s assets, and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants as of December 31, 2015 . The anticipated maturities of the Company’s borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, securitization notes, Funding Facilities and notes payable are as follows (in thousands) and do not include the use of any proceeds from potential debt or equity transactions during 2016 to pay down borrowings: Due in the year ending December 31: 2016 $ 142,590 2017 166,786 2018 81,981 2019 62,943 2020 45,440 2021 and thereafter 722,537 Total contractual obligations 1,222,277 Unamortized original issue discounts, net (4,838 ) Total borrowings as of December 31, 2015 $ 1,217,439 Liquidity Historically, the Company has depended on the availability of credit to finance the consumer loans that it provides to its customers for the purchase of their VOIs. Typically, these loans require a minimum cash down payment of 10% of the purchase price at the time of sale. However, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to VOI sales are primarily cash expenses and often exceed the buyer's minimum down payment requirement. Accordingly, the availability of financing facilities for the sale or pledge of these receivables to generate liquidity is a critical factor in the Company's ability to meet its short-term and long-term cash needs. The Company has historically relied upon its ability to sell receivables in the securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity on its Funding Facilities.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions, including its branch operations in St. Maarten. Due to the Company's history of operating losses in those locations, management believes that realization of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not more likely than not and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had available $123.7 million of unused federal net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry forwards, $159.1 million of unused state NOLs, and $113.0 million of foreign NOLs, with expiration dates from 2021 through 2033 (except for certain foreign NOLs that do not expire) that may be applied against future taxable income subject to certain limitations. As a result of the IPO and the resulting change in ownership, the Company's ability to use its federal NOLs will be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. State NOLs are subject to similar limitations in many cases. No deferred tax liabilities have been provided for U.S. taxes on the undistributed earnings (if any) of foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Those earnings have been and are expected to be indefinitely reinvested in the foreign subsidiaries. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability has not been determined as it is impracticable at this time to determine the amount. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company's financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with ASC 740 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: the Company determines whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, the Company presumes that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: a tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of ASC 740 did not result in a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands): Amount Balance as of December 31, 2013 $ — Increases related to tax positions taken during the current period 23,857 Balance as of December 31, 2014 23,857 Increase related to tax positions taken during a prior period 4,125 Increases related to tax positions taken during the current period 50,010 Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 77,992 The gross amount of the unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2015 that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate was $0.4 million . The Company's continuing practice is to recognize potential interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax provision. The Company has accrued $0.7 million for the payment of interest in the accompanying balance sheet and statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). It is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefit will increase during the next twelve months, and an estimate of the range is impracticable. The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions, both within the U.S. and outside of the U.S. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major tax jurisdictions as follows: Tax Jurisdiction Tax Years No Longer Subject to Examination United States 2011 and prior United Kingdom 2012 and prior Spain 2011 and prior

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Lease Agreements The Company conducts a significant portion of its operations from leased facilities, which include regional and global administrative facilities as well as off-premise booths and tour centers near active sales centers. The longest of these obligations extends into 2025. Many of these agreements have renewal options, subject to adjustments for inflation. In most cases, the Company expects that in the normal course of business, such leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Typically, these leases call for a minimum lease payment that increases over the life of the agreement by a fixed percentage or an amount based upon the change in a designated index. All of the facilities lease agreements are classified as operating leases. In addition, the Company leases equipment under both long-term and short-term lease arrangements, which are generally classified as operating leases. Rental expense recognized for all operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 totaled $25.2 million , $21.8 million and $21.1 million , net of sublease rental revenue of $0.8 million , $0.8 million and $0.8 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2015 , future minimum lease payments on operating leases were as follows (in thousands): Year ending December 31: 2016 $ 15,461 2017 11,184 2018 8,092 2019 3,624 2020 2,802 2021 and thereafter 4,153 $ 45,316 Contractual Obligations The Company has entered into various contractual obligations primarily related to construction of new units at the Cabo Azul Resort in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico, as well as relating to sales center remodeling, property amenity improvement and corporate office expansion projects. The total remaining commitment was $3.9 million as of December 31, 2015 . Hurricane Odile In September 2014, Hurricane Odile, a category 4 hurricane, inflicted widespread damage on the Baja California peninsula, particularly in San Jose Del Cabo, in which the Cabo Azul Resort, one of the Company's managed resorts, is located. Hurricane Odile caused significant damage to the buildings as well as the facilities and amenities at the Cabo Azul Resort, including unsold Vacation Interests and property and equipment owned by the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company received $5.0 million in proceeds from its insurance carrier for property damage resulting from Hurricane Odile. Management believes the Company has sufficient property insurance to cover the costs incurred by the Company in excess of $5.0 million when the insurance claim is ultimately settled. In addition, the Company has filed a claim under its business interruption insurance policy for business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remained closed as a result for the damage suffered in Hurricane Odile. During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company received an aggregate of $6.0 million in installments from its insurance carrier related to such claim, which was recognized as other revenue in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The total claim remains under negotiation with the insurance carrier and any further payments will also be recorded in the periods in which they are received. The Cabo Azul Resort and the on-site sales center reopened on September 1, 2015. Kona Agreement On July 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of property, which was amended on February 25, 2016 (as amended, the "Kona Agreement") with Hawaii Funding LLC (the "Kona Seller"), an affiliate of Och-Ziff Real Estate. The Kona Agreement relates to the development by the Kona Seller of a new resort, which is expected to consist of 144 units, on property located in Kona, Hawaii to be acquired by the Kona Seller. Pursuant to the Kona Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the units, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions including a period of assessment suitability and feasibility, by both parties, of the property for its intended use. The total financial commitment under the Kona Agreement is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2016, with the first delivery of units expected in the first half of 2017 continuing through mid-2018, which is subject to various conditions precedent and rights of the parties. Litigation Contingencies From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these legal proceedings and claims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the Company's ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. The Company records a contingent litigation liability when it determines that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. • Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available. As of December 31, 2015 , the only assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis was the December 2015 Swap. As of December 31, 2015 , the fair value of the December 2015 Swap was based on valuation reports provided by counterparties and was classified as Level 3, based on the fact that the credit risk data used for the valuations were not directly observable and could not be corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s assessment of the significant inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. See " Note 4—Concentrations of Risk" for further detail on the Company's derivative instruments. The following table summarizes the information regarding the Company's derivative instruments as of the dates presented below (in thousands): December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Liabilities: Interest rate swap agreement (a) $ 146 $ 146 $ — $ — Total Liabilities $ 146 $ 146 $ — $ — (a) Values associated with the December 2015 Swap are presented under the derivative liabilities category of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2015 , Vacation Interests notes receivable had a balance of $622.6 million , net of allowance. The allowance for losses against the Vacation Interests notes receivable is derived using a static pool analysis to develop historical default percentages based on FICO credit scores to apply to the mortgage and contract population. The Company evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends and past due aging reports in order to determine the adjustments needed to true up the allowance, which adjusts the carrying value of Vacation Interests notes receivable to management's best estimate of collectability. As a result of such evaluation, the Company believes that the carrying value of the Vacation Interests notes receivable approximated its fair value at December 31, 2015 . These financial assets were classified as Level 3, as there is little market data available. As of December 31, 2015 , the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility (excluding the Incremental Term Loan) were classified as Level 2 and the Company believes the fair value of the Senior Credit Facility approximated its carrying value at such dates due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since May 2014, when the Company entered into the Senior Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2015 , the borrowings under the Incremental Term Loan were classified as Level 2 and the Company believes the fair value of the Incremental Term Loan approximated its carrying value at such date due to the fact that it was recently issued and, therefore, measured using other significant observable inputs. As of December 31, 2015 , all of the Company’s notes issued in its securitization transactions except the Tempus 2013 Notes were classified as Level 2. The Company believes the fair value of these borrowings, which was determined with the assistance of an investment banking firm, approximated similar instruments in active markets. The Tempus 2013 Notes were classified as Level 2. The Company believes the fair value of the Tempus 2013 Notes approximated their carrying value due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since September 2013, the issuance date of the Tempus 2013 Notes. Consequently, the Tempus 2013 Notes were classified as Level 2 as of December 31, 2015 . See "Note 17—Borrowings" for further detail on these borrowings. As of December 31, 2015 , the Quorum Facility and a loan sale agreement that the Company assumed in connection with a previous business combination were classified as Level 2 based on an internal analysis performed by the Company utilizing the discounted cash flow model and the quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As of December 31, 2015 , the fair value of all other debt instruments was not calculated, based on the fact that they were either due within one year or were immaterial. As of December 31, 2014 , the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of December 31, 2014 , Vacation Interests notes receivable had a balance of $498.7 million , net of allowance. The allowance for loan and contract losses against the Vacation Interests notes receivable is derived using a static pool analysis to develop historical default percentages based on FICO scores to apply to the mortgage and contract population. The Company evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends and past due aging reports in order to determine the adjustments needed to true up the allowance, which adjusts the carrying value of Vacation Interests notes receivable to management's best estimate of collectability. As a result of such evaluation, the Company believes that the carrying value of the Vacation Interests notes receivable approximated its fair value at December 31, 2014 . These financial assets are classified as Level 3 as there is little market data available. As of December 31, 2014 , the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility approximated its carrying value at such date due to the fact that it was recently issued and, therefore measured using other significant observable inputs. As of December 31, 2014 , all of the Company’s notes issued in the securitization transactions except the Tempus 2013 Notes were classified as Level 2. The fair value of these borrowings was determined with the assistance of an investment banking firm, which the Company believes approximated similar instruments in active markets. The Company believes the fair value of the Tempus 2013 Notes approximated their carrying value due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since September 2013, the issuance date of the Tempus 2013 Notes. As of December 31, 2014 , the Quorum Facility and the Island One Quorum Funding Facility were classified as Level 2 based on an internal analysis performed by the Company utilizing the discounted cash flow model and the quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As of December 31, 2014 , the fair value of all other debt instruments was not calculated, based on the fact that they were either due within one year or were immaterial. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company also applied the provisions of fair value measurement to various non-recurring measurements for the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities and recorded the impairment charges. The Company’s non-financial assets consist of property and equipment, which are recorded at cost, net of depreciation, unless impaired, and assets held for sale, which are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated fair value less costs to sell. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2015 were as follows (in thousands): Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Estimated Fair Value (Level 2) Estimated Fair Value (Level 3) Assets: Vacation Interests notes receivable, net $ 622,607 $ 622,607 $ — $ 622,607 Total assets $ 622,607 $ 622,607 $ — $ 622,607 Liabilities: Senior Credit Facility $ 569,931 $ 569,931 $ 569,931 $ — Securitization notes and Funding Facilities, net 642,758 638,420 638,420 — Notes payable 4,750 4,750 4,750 — Total liabilities $ 1,217,439 $ 1,213,101 $ 1,213,101 $ — The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2014 were as follows (in thousands): Carrying Value Total Estimated Fair Value Estimated Fair Value (Level 2) Estimated Fair Value (Level 3) Assets: Vacation Interests notes receivable, net $ 498,662 $ 498,662 $ — $ 498,662 Total assets $ 498,662 $ 498,662 $ — $ 498,662 Liabilities: Senior Credit Facility $ 440,720 $ 440,720 $ 440,720 $ — Securitization notes and Funding Facilities, net 509,208 512,706 512,706 — Notes payable 4,612 4,612 4,612 — Total liabilities $ 954,540 $ 958,038 $ 958,038 $ —

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]	Stock Repurchase Program On October 28, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to $100.0 million for the repurchase of the Company's common stock (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). The Stock Repurchase Program was originally announced on October 29, 2014 and has no scheduled expiration date. On July 28, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional $100.0 million for expenditures under the Stock Repurchase Program. The Senior Credit Facility limits the Company's ability to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or expenditures for stock repurchases, subject to specified exceptions based upon the Company's excess cash flow sweep determined in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2015, the amount available to repurchase stock as permitted by the Senior Credit Facility was $3.5 million . The following table summarizes stock repurchase activity under the Stock Repurchase Program (cost in thousands): Shares Cost Average Price Per Share From inception through December 31, 2014 642,900 $ 16,077 $ 25.01 For the year ended December 31, 2015 (a) 5,713,554 163,545 $ 28.62 Total from inception through December 31, 2015 (a) 6,356,454 (b) $ 179,622 $ 28.26 (a) Includes the purchase of 1,515,582 shares from the underwriter for $50 million in the March 2015 Secondary Offering at the price of $32.99 per share.

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation On July 8, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2013 Plan, which authorized the issuance of Company's common stock for awards, including restricted stock, RSUs, stock options, deferred stock or stock appreciation rights, to officers, employees, consultants, advisors and directors of the Company (collectively, the “Eligible Persons”). On May 19, 2015, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders, at which the Company's stockholders approved the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan is a broad-base plan under which 8,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock are authorized for issuance for awards, including restricted stock, RSUs, stock options, deferred stock or stock appreciation rights, to the Eligible Persons. As of December 31, 2015, 7,174,940 shares remained available for issuance as new awards under the 2015 Plan. On July 18, 2013, the Company granted to the former holders of Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC (DRII's predecessor) Class B common units ("BCUs") non-qualified stock options, which were immediately vested, exercisable for an aggregate of 3,760,215 shares of common stock, at an option price of $14.00 per share, in part to maintain the incentive value intended when the Company originally issued those BCUs to these individuals and to provide an incentive for such individuals to continue providing service to the Company. The grantees of these immediately vested options include Messrs. Cloobeck, Kraff, Palmer, Bentley, Lanznar and two employees of the Company. Through December 31, 2014, Messrs. Cloobeck, Palmer, Bentley and Lanznar were not employed or compensated directly by the Company, but were rather employed or independently contracted and compensated by HM&C. See " Note 7—Transactions with Related Parties " for further detail on the HM&C Agreement. In addition, between July 18, 2013 and December 31, 2014, the Company issued additional non-qualified stock options, exercisable for an aggregate of 4,408,100 shares of common stock, to Eligible Persons (including employees of HM&C), each at an option price equal to the market price on the applicable grant date. 25% of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such non-qualified stock options vested immediately on the grant date and the remaining 75% vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. All of these options expire ten years from the grant date. On May 19, 2015, the Company issued additional non-qualified stock options, exercisable for an aggregate of 1,067,000 shares of common stock, to Eligible Persons, each at an option price equal to the market price on the applicable grant date. 25% of the shares issuable upon exercise of such non-qualified stock options vest in equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. All of these options expire ten years from the grant date. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation issued to its employees and non-employee directors (in their capacity as such) in accordance with ASC 718. For a stock-based award with service-only vesting conditions, the Company measures compensation expense at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) over the expected term during which the employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) of the Company provide service in exchange for the award. Through December 31, 2014 and prior to the Company's acquisition of HM&C in January 2015, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation issued to employees and independent contractors of HM&C in accordance with ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" ("ASC 505"). In addition, stock-based compensation issued to Mr. Kraff in connection with the IPO has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 505. Employees and independent contractors of HM&C through December 31, 2014 and Mr. Kraff (with respect to the stock-based compensation issued to him in connection with the IPO) are collectively referred to as the "Non-Employees," and the stock-based compensation issued to the Non-Employees are collectively referred to as the "Non-Employee Grants." Pursuant to ASC 505, the fair value of an equity instrument issued to Non-Employees is initially measured on the grant date by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions and subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date as (and to the extent) the relevant performance is completed. With respect to the stock-based compensation issued to Mr. Kraff in connection with the IPO, his performance of services was considered completed at the grant date. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As employees of HM&C became employees of the Company following the HM&C Acquisition, all unvested stock options issued to employees of HM&C were converted to employee grants from an accounting perspective on January 1, 2015. As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, compensation cost attributable to unvested options issued to employees of HM&C was remeasured as if the unvested options were newly granted on January 1, 2015, and the portion of the newly measured cost attributable to the remaining vesting period is being recognized as compensation cost prospectively from January 1, 2015. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted to its employees (including from an accounting perspective, non-Employee directors in their capacity as such) and Non-Employees. The expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the stock prices for a group of identified peer companies for the expected term of the stock options on the grant date (which is significantly greater than the volatility of the S&P 500® index as a whole during the same period) due to the lack of historical trading prices of the Company's common stock. The average expected option life represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding at the issuance date based on management’s estimate using the simplified method prescribed under the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") SAB 14 for employee grants and the contractual terms for Non-Employee grants. The risk-free interest rate is calculated based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield, with a remaining term that approximates the expected option life assumed at the date of issuance. The expected annual dividend per share is 0% based on the Company’s expected dividend rate. The fair value per share information, including related assumptions, used to determine compensation cost for the Company’s non-qualified stock options consistent with the requirements of ASC 718 and ASC 505, consisted of the following as of December 31, of each of the following years: 2015 2014 2013 Company Employees Non-Employees Company Employees Non-Employees Company Employees Weighted average fair value per share $ 10.2 $ 14.9 $ 8.1 $ 8.9 $ 7.5 Expected stock price volatility 45.7 % 52.8 % 52.8 % 49.8 % 52.9 % Expected option life (years) 5.91 6.00 6.00 9.13 6.51 Risk-free interest rate 1.7 % 1.7 % 1.7 % 2.4 % 1.8 % Expected annual dividend yield — % — % — % — % — % Stock option activity related to stock option grants issued to the employees of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2015 was as follows: Company Employees Options (In thousands) Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands) Outstanding at January 1, 2015 7,868 $ 15.02 8.8 $ 101,336 Granted 1,117 $ 32.05 Exercised (188 ) $ 15.59 Forfeited (31 ) $ 23.79 Outstanding at December 31, 2015 8,766 $ 17.20 7.9 $ 72,840 Exercisable at December 31, 2015 6,219 $ 14.62 7.6 $ 67,756 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that would have been realized by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2015 . The intrinsic value of a stock option is the excess of the Company’s closing stock price on that date over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the option. The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2015 : Company Employees Options (In thousands) Weighted-Average Exercise Price (Per Share) Unvested at January 1, 2015 2,536 $ 16.37 Granted 1,117 $ 32.05 Vested (1,075 ) $ 17.32 Forfeited (31 ) $ 23.79 Unvested at December 31, 2015 2,547 $ 23.51 Restricted Stock, RSUs and Deferred Stock Between July 18, 2013 and December 31, 2014, the Company issued restricted stock to certain non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company, which vest equally on each of the first three anniversary dates from the grant date. On May 19, 2015, the Company issued restricted stock to certain employees of the Company (which vest equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date) and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company (which vest equally on each of the first 12 quarterly anniversaries of the grant date). In addition, on May 19, 2015, the Company issued RSUs to certain employees of the Company (which conditionally vest equally on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and fully vest on the fourth anniversary date of the grant date when certain service and performance conditions are met) and to certain non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company who elected to receive RSUs in lieu of restricted stock for services rendered (which vested equally on each of the first 12 quarterly anniversaries of the grant date). Furthermore, on May 19, 2015, the Company issued deferred stock to certain non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company who elected to receive deferred stock in lieu of cash for services rendered. The deferred stock were fully vested on the grant date. All restricted stock, RSUs and deferred stock issued on May 19, 2015 (the "Stock Unit Issuances") were valued at $32.69 per share (the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on such date).

Net income (loss) per share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	Net income (loss) per share (Restated - See Note 3) The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income for common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options and restricted stock. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , 0.5 million shares underlying stock options were excluded from the net income per share computation, as their effect would be antidilutive under the treasury stock method. For the year ended December 31, 2013 , 0.2 million and a de minimis amount of shares underlying stock options and restricted stock were excluded from the net loss per share computation, as their effect would be antidilutive due to the net loss reported by the Company. There were no antidilutive stock options or restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2014. The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share as of December 31 of each of the following years (in thousands, except per share amounts) (Restated - Note 3): 2015 (Restated) 2014 (Restated) 2013 Computation of Basic Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Net income (loss) $ 143,886 $ 80,261 $ (2,525 ) Weighted average shares outstanding 72,881 75,466 63,704 Basic net income (loss) per share $ 1.97 $ 1.06 $ (0.04 ) Computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Net income (loss) $ 143,886 $ 80,261 $ (2,525 ) Weighted average shares outstanding 72,881 75,466 63,704 Effect of dilutive securities: Restricted stock and RSUs (a) 24 14 — Options to purchase common stock 2,574 1,467 — Shares for diluted net income per share 75,479 76,947 63,704 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 1.91 $ 1.04 $ (0.04 ) (a) Includes unvested dilutive restricted stock and RSUs that are subject to future forfeitures.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	Business Combinations On October 16, 2015, the Company completed the Gold Key Acquisition and acquired five management contracts, real property interests, unsold vacation ownership interests to sell to existing members and potential customers and other assets, adding six additional managed resorts to the Company’s resort network and new owner-families to the Company’s owner base, in exchange for a cash purchase price of $167.5 million and the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities. At the closing of the Gold Key Acquisition, $6.2 million was deposited into an escrow account to support the Company’s obligations under the Default Recovery Agreement, and is classified as restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company assumed $15.5 million of contingent consideration in connection the Default Recovery Agreement, which was recorded as accrued liabilities, with an offsetting amount in prepaid expense and other assets. The Company accounted for the Gold Key Acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"). As of December 31, 2015 , the acquisition was recorded based on a preliminary appraisal; accordingly, provisional amounts were assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary appraisal was developed in accordance with the Company's policies, which were also the basis for the valuation of previous business combinations. Since the purchase price exceeded the fair value of identifiable assets, the Company recorded $73.9 million in goodwill in accordance with ASC 805, which is primarily attributable to expected synergies from the operations acquired in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition and the Company's existing operations. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Gold Key Companies at the acquisition date based on the appraisals as of October 16, 2015 (in thousands): Based on Preliminary Appraisal Consideration: Cash $ 167,500 Fair value of total consideration transferred 167,500 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of October 16, 2015: Cash and cash equivalents $ 66 Restricted cash 47 Due from related parties, net 766 Other receivables, net 69 Prepaid expenses and other assets, net 15,904 Unsold Vacation Interests 26,481 Property and equipment 15,329 Other intangible assets 53,060 Total assets 111,722 Liabilities assumed 18,101 Total identifiable net assets 93,621 Goodwill $ 73,879 Acquired intangible assets consist of the following (dollar amounts in thousands): Weighted Average Useful Life in Years Based on Preliminary Appraisal Management contracts 20 $ 25,300 Rental agreements 4 15,800 Rights to develop inventory 14 11,600 Member relationships 6 360 Total acquired intangible assets $ 53,060 These notes to the consolidated financial statements do not present supplemental pro forma information to include revenue and earnings of the Gold Key Companies for all periods presented, as the assets acquired and additional earnings generated in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition are not deemed significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Employee Benefit Plan

Employee Benefit Plan	12 Months Ended

Post-retirement Benefit Plan [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]	Employee Benefit Plans The Company has a qualified retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”) with a salary deferral feature designed to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to certain limitations, the 401(k) Plan allows participating U.S. employees to defer up to 60.0% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. The 401(k) Plan allows the Company to make discretionary matching contributions of up to 50.0% of the first 6.0% of employee compensation. During the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company made matching contributions to its 401(k) Plan of $3.3 million , $2.2 million and $1.8 million , respectively. In addition, the Company has a self-insured health plan that covers substantially all of its full-time employees in the U.S. The health plan uses employee and employer contributions to pay eligible claims. To supplement this plan, the Company has a stop-loss insurance policy to cover individual claims in excess of $0.3 million . At December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company accrued $3.5 million , $2.7 million and $2.6 million , respectively, for claims that have been incurred but not reported. This accrual is calculated as the higher of (i) estimated accrual based on Company's historical experience of claim payments and lag period between the service dates and claim payment dates or (ii) two times the average monthly claims paid by the Company during the past fiscal year. The following table sets forth for each of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, the amount of claims incurred during such period, changes in accruals during such period for claims incurred during prior periods, and the amount of payments made in such period (in thousands): Balance as of December 31, 2013 $ 2,572 Claims incurred during the current year 16,141 Change in accruals for claims incurred during prior years (2,118 ) Payments made (13,913 ) Balance as of December 31, 2014 2,682 Claims incurred during the current year 18,145 Change in accruals for claims incurred during prior years (2,094 ) Payments made (15,195 ) Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 3,538 During the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , the Company recorded $24.5 million , $20.6 million and $19.6 million , respectively, in expenses associated with its health plans. With certain exceptions, the Company's European subsidiaries do not offer private health plans or retirement plans. The government in each country offers national health services and retirement benefits, which are funded by employee and employer contributions. In 1999, the Company entered into a collective labor agreement with the employees at its resorts in St. Maarten, where the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014 (the "Collective Labor Agreement"). The Collective Labor Agreement provides for an employee service allowance to be paid to employees upon their termination, resignation or retirement. The employee service allowance was accounted for as a defined benefit plan (the "Defined Benefit Plan") in accordance with the requirements of ASC 715, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits." During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Defined Benefit Plan was deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the St. Maarten Deconsolidation. See " Note 1—Background Business and Basis of Presentation " for further detail on the St. Maarten Deconsolidation.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	Segment Reporting (Restated - See Note 3) Business Segment The Company presents its results of operations in two business segments: (i) hospitality and management services, which includes operations related to the management of resort properties and the Diamond Collections, operation of the Clubs, operations of the properties located in St. Maarten for which the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other services and (ii) Vacation Interests sales and financing, which includes operations relating to the marketing and sales of Vacation Interests, as well as the consumer financing activities related to such sales. While certain line items reflected on the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) fall completely into one of these business segments, other line items relate to revenues or expenses that are applicable to more than one segment. For line items that are applicable to more than one segment, revenues or expenses are allocated by management. Such allocations involve significant estimates. Certain expense items (principally corporate interest expense, depreciation and amortization and provision for income taxes) are not, in management’s view, allocable to either of these business segments, as they apply to the entire Company. In addition, general and administrative expenses (which exclude hospitality and management services related overhead that is recovered from the HOAs and the Collection Associations) are not allocated to either of these business segments because, historically, management has not allocated these expenses for purposes of evaluating the Company’s different operational divisions. Accordingly, these expenses are presented under corporate and other. Management believes that it is impracticable to allocate specific assets and liabilities related to each business segment. In addition, management does not review balance sheets by business segment as part of their evaluation of operating segment performance. Consequently, no balance sheet segment reports have been presented. The following table presents revenues, income before provision for income taxes, interest revenue and interest expense for the Company's reportable segments for the periods presented below (in thousands) (Restated - Note 3): For the Years Ended December 31, 2015 (Restated) 2014 (Restated) 2013 Revenues: Hospitality and management services $ 187,747 $ 199,298 $ 175,423 Vacation Interests sales and financing 764,963 643,719 552,922 Corporate and other 1,330 1,549 1,443 Total revenues $ 954,040 $ 844,566 $ 729,788 Income before provision for income taxes Hospitality and management services $ 137,509 $ 129,402 $ 102,072 Vacation Interests sales and financing 282,418 236,076 159,392 Corporate and other (177,277 ) (222,626 ) (258,212 ) Income before provision for income taxes $ 242,650 $ 142,852 $ 3,252 Interest Revenue: Hospitality and management services $ — $ — $ — Vacation Interests sales and financing 78,989 66,849 55,601 Corporate and other 1,330 1,549 1,443 Total interest revenue $ 80,319 $ 68,398 $ 57,044 Interest Expense: Hospitality and management services $ — $ — $ — Vacation Interests sales and financing 16,895 15,072 16,411 Corporate and other 31,581 41,871 72,215 Total interest expense $ 48,476 $ 56,943 $ 88,626 Geographic Segment The geographic segment information presented below is based on the geographic locations of the Company's subsidiaries.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On January 29, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of the vacation ownership business of Intrawest Resort Club Group from Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc., through which the Company acquired management contracts, Vacation Interests notes and other receivables, real property interests, unsold VOIs and other assets in exchange for $85.0 million in cash plus the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities (the "Intrawest Acquisition"). T he Intrawest Acquisition added nine managed resorts located in the United States, Canada and Mexico to the Company's resort network. Due to the fact that the initial accounting for the Intrawest Acquisition is incomplete, the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not yet available.

Summary of Significant Accoun41

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Policy Loans Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Management and Member Services Revenue Recognition — Management and member services revenue includes resort management fees charged to the HOAs and the Diamond Collections, as well as revenues from the Company's operation of the Clubs. These revenues are recorded and recognized as follows: • Management fee revenues are recognized in accordance with the terms of the Company's management contracts. Under the Company's management agreements, the Company collects management fees from the HOAs and Diamond Collection's non-profit members associations (the "Collection Associations"), which are recognized as revenue ratably throughout the year as earned. The management fees the Company earns are included in the HOAs' and Diamond Collections' operating budgets which, in turn, are used to establish the annual maintenance fees owed by each owner of VOIs. • The Company charges an annual fee for membership in each of the Clubs. In addition to annual dues associated with the Clubs, the Company also earns revenue associated with the legacy owners of deeded intervals at resorts that the Company acquired in its strategic acquisitions exchanging the use of their intervals for points membership in the Clubs, which requires these owners to pay the annual fees associated with Club membership, and the Company generally encourages holders of these deeded intervals to exchange the use of their intervals for points memberships in the Clubs. The Company also earns reservation protection plan revenue, which is an optional fee paid by customers when making a reservation to protect their points should they need to cancel their reservation, and through the Company's provision of other travel and discount related benefits as well as call center services provided to the HOAs and the Diamond Collections. Management and member services revenue also included commissions received under the fee-for-service agreements it had with Island One, Inc. from July 2011 until July 2013, when the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of Island One, Inc. and Crescent One, LLC in exchange for $73.3 million in shares of the Company's common stock (the "Island One Acquisition"). All of these revenues are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Consolidated Resort Operations Revenue Recognition — Consolidated resort operations revenue consists of the following: • The Company functioned as an HOA for its properties located in St. Maarten through December 31, 2014 . Consolidated resort operations revenue included the maintenance fees billed to owners and the Diamond Collections in connection with the St. Maarten resorts, which were recognized ratably over the year. In addition, the owners were billed for capital project assessments to repair and replace the amenities of these resorts, as well as assessments to reserve the potential out-of-pocket deductibles for hurricanes and other natural disasters. These assessments were deferred until the refurbishment activity occurred, at which time the amounts collected were recognized as consolidated resort operations revenue with offsetting expense recorded under consolidated resort operations expense. See “ Consolidated Resort Operations Expenses ” below for further detail. All operating revenues and expenses associated with these properties were consolidated within the Company's financial statements, except for intercompany transactions, such as maintenance fees for the Company's owned inventory and management fees for the owned inventory, which were eliminated. Revenue associated with these properties historically constituted a majority of the Company's consolidated resort operations revenue. Effective January 1, 2015, however, in conjunction with the St. Maarten Deconsolidation, the consolidated resort operations revenue from the St. Maarten resorts was eliminated from the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See " Note 1—Background, Business and Basis of Presentation " for further detail on this transaction. The Company also receives: • food and beverage revenue at certain resorts whose restaurants the Company owns and operates; • lease revenue from third parties to which the Company outsources the management of its golf course and food and beverage operations at certain resorts; • revenue from providing cable, telephone and technology services to HOAs; and • other incidental revenues generated at the venues the Company owns and operates, including retail and gift shops, spa services, safe rental and ticket sales. Through December 31, 2013, consolidated resort operations revenue also included greens fees and equipment rental fees at certain golf courses owned and operated by the Company at certain resorts prior to outsourcing the management of these golf courses. All of these revenues are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires the Company to make difficult and subjective judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. The methods, estimates and judgments that the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that the Company reports in its financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, bad debts, unsold Vacation Interests, net, Vacation Interests cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the Company's analyses form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates are also used by the Company to record a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests notes receivable. This provision is calculated as projected gross losses for originated Vacation Interests notes receivable, taking into account estimated VOI recoveries. The Company applies its historical default percentages based on credit scores of the individual customers to its Vacation Interests notes receivable population and evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends, defaults and past due agings to analyze the adequacy of the allowance. If actual Vacation Interests notes receivable losses differ materially from these estimates, the Company's future results of operations may be adversely impacted. Significant estimates were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of certain assets in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition. These estimates included projections of future cash flows derived from sales of VOIs, member relationship lists, management services revenue and rental income. Additionally, the Company made significant estimates of costs associated with such projected revenues including but not limited to recoveries and discount rates. The Company also made significant estimates which include: (i) allowance for loan and contract losses and provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue; (ii) estimated useful lives of property and equipment; (iii) estimated useful lives of intangible assets acquired; (iv) estimated costs to build or acquire any additional Vacation Interests, estimated total revenues expected to be earned on a project, related estimated provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue and sales incentives, estimated projected future cost and volume of recoveries of VOIs, estimated sales price per point and estimated number of points to be sold used to allocate certain unsold Vacation Interests to Vacation Interests cost of sales under the relative sales value method (See "Vacation Interests Cost of Sales" below for further detail on this method); and (v) the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. It is at least reasonably possible that a material change in one or more of these estimates may occur in the near term and that such change may materially affect actual results. In addition, significant estimates are used by the Company to estimate compensation expense related to employee and non-employee stock options issued by the Company under the Diamond Resorts International, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2013 Plan") and the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2015 Plan"). The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted to its employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) and employees and independent contractors of HM&C through December 31, 2014 and Mr. Lowell D. Kraff, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (with respect to the stock-based compensation issued to him in connection with the IPO) ("Non-Employees"). The expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the stock prices for a group of identified peer companies for the expected term of the stock options on the grant date (which is significantly greater than the volatility of the S&P 500® index as a whole during the same period) due to the lack of historical trading prices for the Company's common stock. The average expected option life represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding at the issuance date based on management’s estimate using the simplified method prescribed under the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14: Share-Based Payment ("SAB 14") for employee grants and the contractual term for Non-Employee grants. The risk-free interest rate is calculated based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield, with a remaining term that approximates the expected option life assumed at the date of issuance. The expected annual dividend per share is 0% based on the Company’s expected dividend rate. See " Note 22 — Stock-Based Compensation" for further detail on the Company's stock options issued under the 2013 Plan and the 2015 Plan.
Management and member services expense [Policy Text Block]	Management and Member Services Expense —Substantially all direct expenses related to the provision of services to the HOAs (other than for the Company's St. Maarten resorts, for which the Company functioned as the HOA through December 31, 2014 ) and the Diamond Collections are recovered through the Company's management agreements and, consequently, are not recorded as expenses. The Company passes through to the HOAs and the Collection Associations certain overhead charges incurred to manage the resorts. In accordance with guidance included in ASC 605-45, “Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations," reimbursements from the HOAs and the Collection Associations relating to pass-through costs are recorded net of the related expenses. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Expenses associated with the Company's operation of the Clubs include costs incurred for outsourced (prior to December 31, 2015) and in-house call centers, annual membership fees paid to a third-party exchange company on behalf of members of the Clubs, as applicable, and administrative expenses. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Between January 1, 2013 and July 24, 2013, management and member services expenses also included costs incurred under the fee-for-service agreements with Island One, Inc. This arrangement was terminated in conjunction with the Island One Acquisition. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment.
Consolidation, Subsidiaries or Other Investments, Consolidated Entities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Consolidated Resort Operations Expense — Through December 31, 2014, with respect to the two resorts located in St. Maarten, the Company recorded expenses associated with housekeeping, front desk, maintenance, landscaping and other similar activities, which were recovered by the maintenance fees recorded in consolidated resort operations revenue. In addition, for these two properties, the Company also billed the owners for capital project assessments to repair and replace the amenities of these resorts, as well as assessments to reserve the potential out-of-pocket deductibles for hurricanes and other natural disasters. These assessments were deferred until the refurbishment activity occurred, at which time the amounts collected were recognized as consolidated resort operations revenue with offsetting expense recorded under consolidated resort operations expense. The Company's expense associated with the St. Maarten properties historically constituted a majority of the Company's consolidated resort operations expense. Effective January 1, 2015, however, in conjunction with the St. Maarten Deconsolidation, the consolidated resort operations expense from the St. Maarten resorts was eliminated from the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See " Note 1—Background, Business and Basis of Presentation " for further detail on the St. Maarten Deconsolidation. Furthermore, consolidated resort operations expense includes the costs related to food and beverage operations at certain resorts whose restaurants the Company operates directly. Similarly, the expenses of operating spas and retail and gift shops are included in consolidated resort operations expense. These expenses are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment. Through December 31, 2013, consolidated resort operations expense also included costs at certain golf courses owned and operated by the Company at certain resorts prior to outsourcing the management of these golf courses.
Revenue Recognition, Interest [Policy Text Block]	Interest Revenue — The Company's interest revenue consists primarily of interest earned on consumer loans. Interest earned on consumer loans is accrued based on the contractual provisions of the loan documents. Interest accruals on consumer loans are suspended at the earliest of (i) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent, or (ii) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings. If payments are received while a consumer loan is considered delinquent, interest is recognized on a cash basis. Interest accrual resumes once a customer has made six timely payments on the loan and brought the account current. All interest revenue is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment, with the exception of interest revenue earned on the Company's bank account balances, which is reported in corporate and other.
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Intangible assets — Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management contracts have estimated useful lives ranging from five to 25 years. Membership relationships and distributor relationships have estimated useful lives ranging from three to 30 years. Marketing easement rights, rights to develop inventory and rental agreements have estimated useful lives of 20 years, 14 years and four years, respectively. The Company reviews definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than its net book value, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset.
vacation interest cost of sales [Policy Text Block]	Vacation Interests Cost of Sales — At the time the Company records Vacation Interests sales revenue, it records the related Vacation Interests cost of sales. The Company records Vacation Interests cost of sales using the relative sales value method in accordance with ASC 978. This method, which was originally designed more for developers of timeshare resorts, requires the Company to make a number of projections and estimates, which are subject to significant uncertainty. In order to determine the amounts that must be expensed for each dollar of Vacation Interests sales with respect to a particular phase. The Company is required to prepare a forecast of sales and certain costs for the entire phase’s life cycle. These forecasts require the Company to estimate, among other things, the costs to acquire (or if applicable, build) additional VOIs, the total revenues expected to be earned for the phase (including estimations of sales price per point and the aggregate number of points to be sold), the proper provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue, sales incentives, and the projected future cost and volume of recoveries of VOIs. Then, these costs as a percentage of Vacation Interests sales are determined and that percentage is applied retroactively to all prior sales and is applied to sales within the current period and future periods with respect to a particular phase. These projections are reviewed on a regular basis, and the relevant estimates used in the projections are revised (if necessary) based upon historical results and management's new estimates. The Company requires a seasoning of pricing strategy changes before such changes fully affect the projections, which generally occurs over a six-month period. If any estimates are revised, the Company is required to adjust its Vacation Interests cost of sales using the revised estimates, and the entire adjustment required to correct Vacation Interests cost of sales over the life of a phrase to date is taken in the period in which the estimates are revised. Accordingly, small changes in any of the numerous estimates in the model can have a significant financial statement impact, both positively and negatively, due to the retroactive adjustment required by ASC 978. See “ Unsold Vacation Interests, net ” below for further detail. All of these costs are allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. See "
Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy, Gross and Net Revenue Disclosure [Policy Text Block]	Vacation Interests Sales Revenue Recognition — With respect to the Company's recognition of revenue from Vacation Interests sales, the Company follows the guidelines included in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 978, “Real Estate-Time-Sharing Activities” ("ASC 978"). Under ASC 978, Vacation Interests sales revenue is divided into separate components that include the revenue earned on the sale of the VOI and the revenue earned on the sales incentive given to the customer as motivation to purchase the VOI. Each component is treated as a separate transaction but both are recorded in Vacation Interests sales line of the Company's statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). In order to recognize revenue on the sale of VOIs, ASC 978 requires a demonstration of a buyer's commitment (generally a cash payment of 10% of the purchase price plus the value of any sales incentives provided). A buyer's down payment and subsequent mortgage payments are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the VOI once 10% of the purchase price plus the value of the incentives provided to consummate a VOI transaction has been covered. The Company recognizes sales of VOIs on an accrual basis after (i) a binding sales contract has been executed; (ii) the buyer has adequately demonstrated a commitment to pay for the VOI; (iii) the rescission period required under applicable law has expired; (iv) collectibility of the receivable representing the remainder of the sales price is reasonably assured; and (v) the Company has completed substantially all of its obligations with respect to any development related to the real estate sold (i.e., construction has been substantially completed and certain minimum project sales levels have been met). If the buyer's commitment has not met ASC 978 guidelines, the Vacation Interests sales revenue and related Vacation Interests cost of sales and direct selling costs are deferred and recognized under the installment method until the buyer's commitment is satisfied, at which time the remaining amount of the sale is recognized. The net deferred revenue is recorded as a reduction to Vacation Interests notes receivable on the Company's balance sheet. Under ASC 978, the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue is recorded as a reduction of Vacation Interests sales revenue. Vacation Interests Sales Revenue, Net — Vacation Interests sales revenue, net is comprised of Vacation Interests sales, net of a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue. Vacation Interests sales consist of revenue from the sale of points, which can be utilized for vacations at any of the resorts in the Company's network for varying lengths of stay, net of an amount equal to the expense associated with sales incentives. A variety of sales incentives are routinely provided as sales tools. Sales centers have predetermined budgets for sales incentives and manage the use of incentives accordingly. A provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue is recorded upon completion of each financed sale. The provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue is calculated based on historical default experience associated with the customer's Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO") score. Additionally, the Company analyzes its allowance for loan and contract losses quarterly and makes adjustments based on current trends in consumer loan delinquencies and defaults and other criteria, if necessary. All of the Company's Vacation Interests sales revenue, net is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment.
vacation interest cost of sales [Policy Text Block]	Other Revenue — Other revenue includes (i) collection fees paid by owners when they bring their maintenance fee accounts current after collection efforts have been made by the Company on behalf of the HOAs and Collection Associations; (ii) closing costs paid by purchasers on sales of VOIs; (iii) revenue associated with certain sales incentives given to customers as motivation to purchase a VOI (in an amount equal to the expense associated with such sales incentives), which is recorded upon recognition of the related VOI sales revenue; (iv) late/impound fees assessed on consumer loans; (v) loan servicing fees earned for servicing third-party portfolios; (vi) commission revenue earned from certain third-party lenders that provide consumer financing for sales of the Company's VOIs in Europe; and (vii) revenue recognized when customers' non-refundable deposits are forfeited upon the customers' failure to close on VOI transactions.

Revenues associated with the remaining items above are allocated to the Company's Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising, Sales and Marketing Costs — Advertising, sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred, except for costs directly related to VOI sales that are not eligible for revenue recognition under ASC 978, as described in "— Vacation Interests Sales Revenue Recognition ” above, which are deferred along with related revenue until the buyer's commitment requirements are satisfied. Advertising, sales and marketing costs are allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. Advertising expense recognized was $10.3 million , $7.3 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively.
Vacation interest carrying costs, net [Policy Text Block]	Vacation Interests Carrying Cost, Net — The Company is responsible for paying annual maintenance fees and reserves to the HOAs and the Collection Associations on its unsold VOIs. Vacation Interests carrying cost, net also includes amounts paid for delinquent maintenance fees related to VOIs eligible for recovery pursuant to the Company's inventory recovery and assignment agreements ("IRAAs") except for amounts that are capitalized to unsold Vacation Interests, net. See " Note 7 — Transactions with Related Parties — Inventory Recovery and Assignment Agreements" for further detail on IRAAs. To offset the Company's gross Vacation Interests carrying cost, the Company rents VOIs controlled by the Company to third parties on a short-term basis. The Company also generates revenue on sales of sampler programs ("Sampler Packages"), which allow prospective owners to stay at a resort property on a trial basis. This revenue and the associated expenses are deferred until the vacation is used by the customer or the expiration date, whichever is earlier. Revenue from resort rentals and Sampler Packages is recognized as a reduction to Vacation Interests carrying cost, with the exception of revenue from the Company's European sampler product, which has a duration of three years and is treated as Vacation Interests sales revenue. Vacation Interests carrying cost, net is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment.
Loan Portfolio Expense [Policy Text Block]	Loan Portfolio Expense — Loan portfolio expense includes payroll and administrative costs of the finance operations and credit card processing fees. These costs are expensed as incurred, with the exception of Vacation Interests notes receivable origination costs, which are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related Vacation Interests notes receivable as an adjustment to interest revenue using the effective interest method in accordance with guidelines issued under ASC 310, “Receivables” ("ASC 310"). These expenses are allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment, with the exception of a portion of expenses incurred by the in-house collections department, which are allocated to the hospitality and management services business segment.
Other operating expenses [Policy Text Block]	Other Operating Expenses — Other operating expenses include credit card fees incurred by the Company when customers remit down payments associated with a VOI purchase in the form of credit cards and also include certain sales incentives given to customers as motivation to purchase VOIs, all of which are expensed as the related Vacation Interests sales revenue is recognized. These expenses are allocated to the Company's Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]	General and Administrative Expense — General and administrative expense includes payroll and benefits, legal, audit and other professional services, costs related to mergers and acquisitions, travel costs, technology-related costs, corporate facility expense. In addition, general and administrative expense includes recovery of the Company's expenses incurred on behalf of the HOAs and the Diamond Collections the Company manages in accordance with the Company's management agreements. In accordance with guidance included in ASC 605-45, “Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations," recovery from the HOAs and the Collection Associations is recorded net of the related expense. General and Administrative expense is not allocated to the Company's business segments, but rather are reported under corporate and other.
Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization [Policy Text Block]	Depreciation and Amortization — The Company records depreciation expense in connection with depreciable property and equipment it purchased or acquired, including buildings and leasehold improvements, furniture and office equipment, land improvements and computer software and equipment. In addition, the Company records amortization expense on intangible assets with a finite life acquired by the Company, including management contracts, member relationships, distributor relationships and others. Depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated to the Company's business segments, but rather is reported in corporate and other.
Interest Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Interest Expense — Interest expense related to corporate-level indebtedness is reported in corporate and other. Interest expense related to the Company's securitizations and consumer loan financings is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock-based Compensation Expense —The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). The Company measures stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and records the related expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See " Note 22—Stock-Based Compensation " for further detail on the Company's stock-based compensation awards.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes — The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. (including federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed periodically based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset for its net operating losses, a portion of which the use thereof is subject to limitations. As a result of uncertainties regarding the Company’s ability to utilize such net operating loss carry forwards, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets attributable to these net operating losses. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provide a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination, based solely on the technical merits. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being sustained on examination. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market funds, and all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash in Escrow and Restricted Cash — Cash in escrow consists of deposits received on sales of VOIs that are held in escrow until the legal rescission period has expired. Restricted cash consists primarily of reserve cash held for the benefit of the secured note holders including the prefunding account and cash collections on certain Vacation Interests notes receivable that secure collateralized notes.
Mortgages and contracts receivable and allowance for contract losses [Policy Text Block]	Vacation Interests notes receivable and related allowance — The Company accounts for Vacation Interests notes receivable in accordance with ASC 310. Vacation Interests notes receivable include mortgages receivable for the financing of previously sold intervals and contracts receivable for the financing of points. Vacation Interests notes receivable that the Company originates or acquires are recorded net of (i) deferred loan and contract costs; (ii) the discount or premium on the acquired mortgage pool; and (iii) the related allowance for loan and contract losses. Loan and contract origination costs incurred in connection with providing financing for VOIs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related Vacation Interests notes receivable as an adjustment to interest revenue using the effective interest method. Because the Company currently sells VOIs only in the form of points, the Company originates contracts receivables, and is not currently originating any new mortgages. The Company records a sales provision for estimated mortgage and contracts receivable losses as a reduction to Vacation Interests sales revenue. This provision is calculated as projected gross losses for originated Vacation Interests notes receivable, taking into account estimated VOI recoveries. If actual Vacation Interests notes receivable losses differ materially from these estimates, the Company's future results of operations may be adversely impacted. The Company applies its historical default percentages based on credit scores of the individual customers to its originated and acquired Vacation Interests notes receivable population and evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends, defaults and past due agings to analyze the adequacy of the allowance. Any adjustments to the allowance for Vacation Interests notes receivable loss are recorded within Vacation Interests sales revenue. The Company charges off Vacation Interests notes receivable upon the earliest of (i) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent or (ii) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings. Once a delinquent customer has brought the account current following the event leading to the charge-off and makes six timely payments, the charge-off is reversed. A default in a customer's initial payment (after unsuccessful collection efforts) results in a cancellation of the sale. All collection and foreclosure costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. The Vacation Interests notes receivable acquired in connection with the Company's strategic acquisitions are each accounted for separately as an acquired pool of loans. Any discount or premium associated with each pool of loans is amortized using an amortization method that approximates the effective interest method.
Due From and Due To Related Parties, net [Policy Text Block]	Due from Related Parties, Net and Due to Related Parties, Net — Amounts due from related parties, net, and due to related parties, net consist primarily of transactions with HOAs or Collection Associations for which the Company acts as the management company. See " Note 7 — Transactions with Related Parties" for further detail. Due to the fact that the right of offset exists between the Company and the respective HOAs and Collection Associations, the Company evaluates amounts due to and from each HOA and Collection Association at each reporting period to present the balances as either a net due to or a net due from related parties in accordance with the requirements of ASC 210, “Balance Sheet—Offsetting.”
assets held for sale [Policy Text Block]	Assets Held for Sale — Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated fair value less costs to sell and are not subject to depreciation. Sale of the assets classified as such is probable, and transfer of the assets is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, generally within one year of the balance sheet date. See " Note 14 — Assets Held for Sale" for further information.
unsold vacation interests [Policy Text Block]	Unsold Vacation Interests, Net — Unsold VOIs are valued at the lower of cost or fair market value. The cost of unsold VOIs includes acquisition costs, hard and soft construction costs (which are comprised of architectural and engineering costs incurred during construction), the cost incurred to recover inventory and other carrying costs (including interest, real estate taxes and other costs incurred during the construction period). The costs capitalized for recovered intervals differ based on a variety of factors, including the method of recovery and the timing of the original sale or loan origination. Costs are expensed to Vacation Interests cost of sales under the relative sales value method described above. In accordance with ASC 978, under the relative sales value method, cost of sales is calculated as a percentage of Vacation Interests sales revenue using a cost-of-sales percentage ratio of total estimated development costs to total estimated Vacation Interests sales revenue, including estimated future revenue and incorporating factors such as changes in prices and the recovery of VOIs (generally as a result of maintenance fee and Vacation Interests notes receivable defaults). In accordance with ASC 978, the selling, marketing and administrative costs associated with any sale, whether the original sale or subsequent resale of recovered inventory, are expensed as incurred, except for the direct selling costs which are deferred and recognized under the installment method until the buyer's commitment is satisfied, at which time the remaining amount of the sale is recognized. In accordance with ASC 978, on a quarterly basis, the Company recalculates the total estimated Vacation Interests sales revenue and total estimated costs. The effects of changes in these estimates are accounted for as a current period adjustment so that the balance sheet at the end of the period of change and the accounting in subsequent periods are as they would have been if the revised estimates had been the original estimates. These adjustments can be material. In North America, the Company capitalizes all maintenance fees and assessments paid to the HOAs and the Collection Associations related to the IRAAs into unsold Vacation Interests, net for the first two years of a member's maintenance fee delinquency. Following this two-year period, all assessments and maintenance fees paid under these agreements are expensed in Vacation Interests carrying cost, net until such time that the inventory is recovered. No entry is recorded upon the recovery of the delinquent inventory. In Europe, the Company enters into informal inventory recovery arrangements similar to those in North America with the majority of the HOAs and the Collection Association for the European Collection. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes all maintenance fees and assessments paid to the HOAs and the Collection Association for the European Collection related to the inventory recovery arrangements into due from related parties-net for the first two years of a member's maintenance fee delinquency. Following this two-year period, all assessments and maintenance fees paid under these arrangements are expensed in Vacation Interests carrying cost, net until such time that the inventory is recovered. Once the delinquent inventory is recovered, the Company reclassifies the amounts capitalized in due from related parties, net to unsold Vacation Interests, net.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill — Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather evaluates goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or at other times during the year if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit, as defined in ASC 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill" ("ASC 350"), is below the carrying amount. Goodwill is tested using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment assessment, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill ("net book value"). If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its net book value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; thus, the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test will be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment assessment, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, which is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities in foreign locations are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars using average rates of exchange. The net gain or loss is shown as a translation adjustment and is included in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Holding gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are also included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Other comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity from non-owner sources such as foreign currency translation adjustments and, through September 30, 2015, changes in accumulated obligation under the Company's defined benefit plan at its St. Maarten resorts. The defined benefit plan was deconsolidated from the Company's consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 in connection with the St. Maarten Deconsolidation. The Company accounts for other comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income."
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements ("ASU No. 2014-09"). The core principle of this guidance is that an entity will be required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers will also be required. Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2014-09 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items" ("ASU No. 2015-01"), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. ASU No. 2015-01 simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-01 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation" ("ASU No. 2015-02"), which is intended to respond to stakeholders' concerns about the current accounting guidance for certain legal entities. The amendments update the analysis of consolidation for limited partnerships, contractual fee arrangements and investment funds, as well as include additional guidance on the effect of related parties. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-02 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest" ("ASU No. 2015-03"), which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-03 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will result in a reclassification between assets and liabilities but will have no other impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software" ("ASU No. 2015-05"), which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and, if so, how the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for by the customer. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-05 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments" ("ASU No. 2015-16"), which requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU No 2015-16 also requires that the acquirer record, in the current period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU No. 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-16 should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-16 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2016. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU No. 2015-17"), which eliminates the current requirement for an entity to present deferred income tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, entities will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-17 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2015-17 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2017. The Company believes that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU No. 2016-01"). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-01 require changes to the measurement and presentation of certain equity investments, as well as to the disclosures pertaining to these equity investments. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-01 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidance permits early adoption of certain provisions in the Update. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-01 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU No. 2016-02"). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

Concentrations of Risk Concentr

Concentrations of Risk Concentrations of risk (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Concentration Risk [Line Items]
Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block]	Concentrations of Risk Credit Risk —The Company is exposed to on-balance sheet credit risk related to its Vacation Interests notes receivable. The Company offers financing to the buyers of VOIs and bears the risk of defaults on promissory notes delivered to it by buyers of VOIs. If a buyer of VOIs defaults, the Company generally attempts to resell such VOIs by exercise of a power of sale. The associated marketing, selling, and administrative costs from the original sale are not recovered, and such costs must be incurred again to resell the VOIs. Although in many cases the Company may have recourse against a buyer of VOIs for the unpaid price, certain states have laws that limit the Company’s ability to recover personal judgments against customers who have defaulted on their loans. The Company has generally not pursued this remedy. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, cash in escrow, and restricted cash with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean. A significant portion of the Company's cash is maintained with a select few banks and is, accordingly, subject to credit risk. Periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of financial institutions maintaining the deposits are performed to evaluate and mitigate, if necessary, any credit risk. Availability of Funding Sources —The Company has historically funded Vacation Interests notes receivable and unsold Vacation Interests with borrowings through its financing facilities and internally generated funds. Borrowings are in turn repaid with the proceeds received by the Company from repayments of such Vacation Interests notes receivable. To the extent that the Company is not successful in maintaining or replacing existing financings, it may have to curtail its sales and marketing operations or sell assets, thereby resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Geographic Concentration —Portions of the Company's consumer loan portfolio are concentrated in certain geographic regions within the U.S. The deterioration of the economic condition and financial well-being of the regions in which the Company has significant loan concentrations could adversely affect the results of operations for its consumer loan portfolio business. The credit risk inherent in such concentrations is dependent upon regional and general economic stability, which affects property values and the financial well-being of the borrowers. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company's loans to California residents constituted 33.3% and 32.4% , respectively, of the consumer loan portfolio. No other state or foreign country concentration accounted for more than 10.0% of the portfolio. Interest Rate Risk —Since a significant portion of the Company’s indebtedness bears interest at variable rates, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under the Company’s derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company derives net interest income from its financing activities because the interest rates it charges its customers who finance the purchase of their VOIs exceed the interest rates the Company pays to its lenders. Since the Company’s customer receivables generally bear interest at fixed rates, increases in interest rates will erode the spread in interest rates that the Company has historically obtained. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company entered into a series of interest rate cap and swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate increases, all of which except the December 2015 Swap (discussed below) were terminated by December 31, 2015. On December 11, 2015, as required by the Company's $200.0 million conduit facility that was most recently amended on July 1, 2015 (the "Conduit Facility"), the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, effective December 15, 2015 (the "December 2015 Swap"). The December 2015 Swap has a notional amount of $20.5 million and is scheduled to mature on December 20, 2025 . The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.38% based on a floating notional amount in accordance with a pre-determined amortization schedule, and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR. The December 2015 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting. See " Note 17—Borrowings " for further detail on the Conduit Facility. As of December 31, 2015 , the fair value of the December 2015 Swap was calculated to be $0.1 million based on a valuation report provided by a counterparty. The fair value was recorded as a derivative liability with an offsetting charge to interest expense.
