Re: We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion???

We own a prime week timeshare in Cancun that we used when we first bought it, then came kids and it wasn't practical (we own a studio) or worth it for us. We don't pay a fee unless we use a week (thank goodness!). As others mentioned the maintenance fees seem to go up every year etc. At the time of purchase they would buy back your unused portion but have long since stopped this process, unfortunately and now we have a timeshare with 26 weeks remaining that we can't sell. Would I buy again, no BUT if you're someone who likes travelling to the same place, can get decent airfare and it makes sense for you, then maybe...everyone is different. You can also opt into RCI and exchange weeks we did it once.
