Destinations International (by Charlie S.):

We got this place from the timeshare we bought in Mexico. The amount we paid back in 2007 was $200 I believe. They said that Mexico was a hot spot, especially since our timeshare had multiple locations we can go to without any extra fees (Cancun, Cabos, Puerta Vallarta, Mazatlan, Accapulco and a few others). They said they would rent out our timeshare and take a small (10%) percentage. We have a 1 bedroom timeshare. It has been 6 years and they have not rented it out yet. They said a few things, like no one was looking for just 1 bedroom, they want 2 or the economy has less people traveling or the drug wars in Mexico have people not wanting to go. According to them, when we first started our place was somewhere around 10th on the list. The last 3 it is now 1st to get rented out. I find it hard to believe they cannot rent it out, even to those more "friendly" areas. When I try to call, I just get an answering machine.

Does anyone have any experience with this company? Their web site is www.divacations.com Their website looks better than the Royal marketing group. But they are one of the places that wants an up front fee $275.00 and a 10% commision on the rental of yoour timeshare. I checked the BBB which indicated the had only one open compliant and had several that had been settled. Of the four companies I looked at DI had the best rating.

Although they sent me their contract, I have not given them any money. Their contract really does not guarantee anything except that your money will be theirs as soon as you give it to them.

If anyone here has had any experience with them, please post here whether good or bad. This information will be available for all members of Redweek to make better informed decissions about who and what companies to do business with. I for one, like to make informed decissions.
