Re: We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion??? (by Mark V.):
I purchased my first timeshare in 2014 even year usage. I bought it with the intention of exchanging to different locations. I used it twice, once by exchanging it, and once with an extra vacation through RCI. My costs (excluding the purchase price) for the 2 weeks were about $1250, including the membership for RCI. That seems very reasonable for 2 weeks.
So far I am very happy, and think it is a good deal, but only if you are willing to commit to using it, and are not overly picky about when and where you exchange into. It does also require you to do some researching to make sure you go somewhere you will enjoy. But, I find that part fun.
