We hope you enjoy connecting with other travelers and timeshare owners! We're looking forward to hearing from you.

In May 2023, the Royal Resorts in Cancun, Mexico announced they had been bought by Holiday Inn. It was a surprise especially since recently they they started a Signature Club relationship with Wyndham. I can see this as an opportunity for Holiday Inn expending in Mexico into the timeshare industry and selecting a Resort group that has already established a high reputation for service and quality. I just hope they start expending opportunities with high end resorts around the world and not just expand for the purpose of expansion alone, and bring the quality down.

Your thought?

I am a brand new member and this is my first post, so I'm open to any advice from seasoned Timeshare owners. I'm wanting to sell 2 of my Hilton Grand Vacations timeshares: one at Ocean 22 in Myrtle Beach, a 3-bedroom Platinum deed, floating week AND the other at Chicago Magnificent Mile, a 1-bedroom Platinum deed, also floating week. Any advice is welcome. I'm considering using the full service from Red Week. Any experience in getting Timeshares sold as quickly as possible? Is it true that Hilton has right of first refusal and can tie up a sale for a month or more? Thank you. Dee

Right of first refusal doesn't mean that Hilton will "tie up a sale for a month or more". It just means that if you and a buyer agree to a sale price, Hilton must either buy it from you for that price or let the buyer buy it for that price. Either way, Hilton will let you know rather quickly and can not and will not block the sale.

The chance of selling is slim. There are 1000's of weeks for free and many at under 100$. Your best bet, legally cancel out. Stop throwing good money after bad,

Hello Kylie,

No one is responding to numerous messages from me, including a message to lower the price of my booking. What is going on at Redweek?

How does one "legally cancel out?"

That depends. Did you purchase from one of those timeshare sales presentations from the resort? If so, then you have a few days (usually anywhere from 3-10days), depending on where you purchased, to rescind your purchase. Follow the instructions that should have been given to you at the sales presentation how to rescind. It usually requires writing a letter and sending it to the address given.

If you have passed your rescission period, then you now own it unless you purchased it in Mexico and it is just a club membership. If you want to "legally cancel out", then you have a number of options.

First, try to sell it. If you realize that it has no resale value, perhaps even negative value, then your next two options would be to:

1) Ask the resort's Homeowners' Association if it will take your unit back. The HOA might charge you some fees to do so but it will be a clean, quick exit. 2) Try giving it away. Advertise here in RedWeek's Bargain section that you want to give your unit away. To make it more attractive, offer to pay the closing costs. 3) If all else fails, just stop paying membership or maintenance fees and let the unit go into foreclosure.

The biggest piece of advice is to not pay any exit company, charity, or law firm to allegedly help you to "cancel out".

Thx. Good information.

I rented a non refundable timeshare a week after my husband died. now, a month later my dr. says I should not travel, I'm definitely not in good shape. I made bad choice too fast. anyone know how to get grace for this situation? is it in any way possible to get a refund for non refund timeshare? thank you
