Re: Anyone know about rental companies recommended by Mayan Palace? (by Lance C.):
Did you pay any of these companies an upfront fee to rent out your unit? If so, that's a big no-no in the timeshare world. Once they have your money, there's zero incentive for them to try to rent it out. Even if they do try, there's no guarantee that it will rent out. At best, all they do is list it on their website for rental.
If you want to try to rent it out, advertise here on RedWeek, E-Bay, Craigslist, My Resort Network, or Timeshare Users Group (aka"TUG). Some are free to list while others charge a modest listing fee.
Also be aware that there is not a huge demand for rentals in Mexico right now. In fact, many owners are renting out their unit for less than what they're paying in maintenance fees. So be realistic in what you charge for the rental (ditto goes for when you try to sell).
