Re: We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion??? (by Tam M.):
Many people are happy with their timeshare weeks and have used them for with pleasure for 30+ years. Ignore all the negative comments, as with any product on the market, learn how to use it and make the most of it. Owners have numerous options to use their week and it remains a very reasonable way to enjoy a vacation.

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.
