You would need to contact the owner directly to find out what weeks are considered the medium season at that particular resort.

With all due respect, I would suggest instead learning directly from the RESORT (not just from the owner / advertiser) the precise definition of "medium" weeks in the specific "floating" ownership at issue.

The fact is that some owners / sellers do not even correctly understand those details to begin with (or may deliberately misrepresent them, if they do know). This is a lesson I learned (...yes, the hard way) many years ago in my very first resale timeshare purchase. The range of weeks eligible for reservation in that particular "floating" week ownership turned out to be very different and MUCH more restrictive than what the seller had represented to me. I was too inexperienced then to know enough to perform my own due diligence and verify those details for myself, directly with the resort. Fortunately, I paid very little for the week --- and soon re-sold it for even less, honestly and accurately disclosing to my buyer the reservation constraints which had been significantly misrepresented to me.

Learn from my mistake of many years ago. Verify any and all seller representations for yourself directly with the RESORT before committing to a purchase. An honest seller can still be mistaken and a dishonest seller can knowingly attempt to deceive you. Verify all details before "closing". Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware).
