## History

The Polo Towers in Las Vegas, which is owned by Diamond Resorts

Diamond Resorts launched the Diamond Resorts Invitational in 2013 to benefit Florida Hospital for Children.[14] Through the golf tournament, the company has raised a total of more than $3.1 million to the children's hospital.[15] In March 2018, the company announced it was sponsoring a new golf tournament, the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, with the LPGA as an official season event.[citation needed]

In October 2015, DRI bought out Gold Key Resorts for $167.5 million.[16] This acquisition added five vacation ownership resorts in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and one in the Outer Banks, North Carolina.[16] That same month, Diamond Resorts pledged to match all new donations made to the Diamond Resorts International Foundation, a recognized 501(c)(3) organization, in 2017 up to $1 million to support Hurricane Irma relief efforts.[17]

Diamond Resorts acquired Intrawest Resort Club Group in November 2015, adding nine resorts and 22,000 members. After the acquisition, Diamond Resorts re-branded the Intrawest Resort Club Group as Embarc Resorts.[18]

On June 29, 2016, Apollo Global Management made a successful offer to purchase Diamond Resorts International.[19]

On December 23, 2016 Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced a settlement of $800,000 with Diamond Resorts. As part of the settlement, customers who bought their timeshares under false pretenses could relinquish them.[20]

Michael Flaskey was named chief executive officer of the company in March 2017.[21]

On January 18, 2018, the company underwent a brand refresh, updating its logo and officially dropping International from its name to be known as Diamond Resorts.[22]

Diamond Resorts announced in March 2018 that the company was partnering with the LPGA to launch the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions.[23] The tournament begins the LPGA's 2019 season and features tournament winners from the previous two LPGA seasons, along with celebrity participants.[24] The Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions replaces the golf tournament the company previously sponsored, the Diamond Resorts Invitational.[citation needed] That same month, acquired Amber Vacation Club in March 2018 and will assume operations at Amber's managed resorts, Sunrise Ridge Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and Alhambra Villas and Alhambra at Poinciana in Kissimmee, Florida.[25]

In April 2018, Diamond Resorts announced it had acquired The Modern Honolulu, a boutique hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.[26]

In January 2020, Diamond Resorts partnered with Highgate to rent units in two properties in New York City.[27]

In March 2021, Apollo Global agreed to sell Diamond Resorts to Hilton Grand Vacations[28] for $1.4 billion.[29][30] The acquisition was completed on August 2, 2021.[31][32]

## Undercover Boss

The company's founder, Stephen J. Cloobeck, was featured in the fourth season premiere of the American reality television series Undercover Boss on January 15, 2012, marking the first time the head of a company previously featured in an earlier episode went undercover a second time.[33][34][35]

## Criticism and controversy

### Sales tactics

Diamond Resorts is notable for high-pressure sales tactics used to close sales and generate fees for consumers.[55][56] Club members are charged yearly maintenance fees (including management fees), which are set by Diamond Resorts and which the FTC warns are likely to rise every year.[57][58] Diamond Resorts's official 2014 SEC filing states that club members do not have the right to terminate membership, except in certain areas where consumers are protected by state law.[56][59][60] Jeff Weir, a Diamond timeshare owner and journalist covering the timeshare industry, told The New York Times , "In my experience, Diamond is much more ambitious, aggressive and downright nasty in their sales presentations compared to Marriott and Westin. Diamond just has an amazing reputation of being tough on people."[56]

Mike Flaskey, the company's current chief executive officer, spoke on Fox Business about how the company is shaking up its sales and marketing model to better meet traveler's desires.[61]

### Legal issues

On December 23, 2016, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced a settlement of $800,000 with Diamond Resorts over accusations that Diamond Resorts had violated the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. Of the settlement funds, $650,000 were used for customer restitution.[20] Under the settlement, customers who had purchased timeshares in Arizona between January 1, 2011, and July 23, 2017, could be released from their timeshare, provided they gave a detailed description of deceptive statements or false promises made by Diamond Resorts employees during the sale.[62]

The Attorney General's website states that alleged misrepresentations were related to:[63]

>   * The amounts maintenance fees could increase annually (in some cases up to 25% each year);
>   * Consumers' ability to resell timeshares to the public;
>   * The existence of Diamond buy-back programs;
>   * Consumers' ability to rent out their timeshares for a profit; and
>   * Discounts on other travel needs.
