We have timeshare. No maintenance and no annual fee. It forces us to take a vacation. When you own your own business sometimes you have to push yourself out the door to go on holidays. It was a deal we could not pass up.
No doubt about it the sales people are slick. Never at any time were they hostile. We also let them know what WE wanted and what we were comfortable paying. It was definetley what we wanted. We knew we would be coming back to Playa why not save a few bucks along the way. I would never in a million years be going to Playa twice in one year!!! My timeshare allows me to do that. We are fairly new to this. This will be my first time back as a timeshare'er will see how everything pans out. So far so good. Got a great deal on our airfare, which being in northern Canada can cost up to $1,200.00 per person return. With RCI we are paying what most Texans are paying and some even cheaper.
For some this would not work for. We met another couple who bought the same timeshare 3 years ago and said it was the best thing she ever did. It's all subjective and to each his own. Kinda like you are either an A/I person or you are not. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. All I know is that we will be coming back to Playa for many years to come, and we still have the freedom to travel elsewhere as well.
