anyone been to this resort?

I have a week at the coco sunset vacation club next January and I can't find any reviews on this resort. I have never been to costa Rica before and would love if someone could give me tips on this resort and CR.

We know a lot about Costa Rica, specially Playas del coco, and believe me there is no known Time Share in that area..The property are all residential condominium,privately owned,,,hope it help you to advance your research....

I was in Costa Rica in June 2009 and got roped into a "time-share" presentation at Las Palmas Playas del Coco (www.playasdelaspalmas.com) and bought into it through Coco's Sunset Vacation Club. They promised they would rent out my unit through www.executiveproperties.info at the beginning of 2010 for $4500. I paid about $4400 and owe another $5000 and am supposed to get one registered week plus 2 at coco's sunset vaction club every ear, among other things, for 15 years. I'm really worried that I got scammed but everything seems legit. I just can't find much information on it to verify the legitimacy. I'm skeptical but thought it was worth a chance at the time. Now, I'm wondering if I should try to dispute it. Does anyone have any knowledge about this?

We did the same thing and now I am also skeptical after getting back home and researching a bit more. If everything is how it was presented, it is not a bad deal, if not I wonder if it can be cancelled. I looked through my paperwork and can't find any specifics. My question to Josephs302 is did you find out anything more?

My wife and I bought two weeks in Coco Sunset November of 2008. We have not been able to exchange quite as easily as they made it sound, but we did get to stay at a Ritz Carlton in Dana Point for only $400 for the week. Someone else staying there was paying $300 per night. I was told that they would rent my units for $1500 per week, but when the check came they didn't tell me that they were going to deduct the $300 maintenance. Still we did receive two checks this year. The units themselves are nice, but it is Costa Rica, and it isn't as nice as the Ritz.

Unfortunately I have not heard anything more. I've started paying the rest of my balance and I won't likely know if my weeks actually sold until Jan/Feb. 2010. Hopefully then I'll be able to recoup some of the costs. Hopefully :/

Playas del Coco is a great place to see the Guanacaste area of Costa Rica, but I regret having bought a timeshare at Coco Sunset & would also like to get rid of it or rent it out. It's normal that they deduct the maintenance fee from the rental I think, but I would like to know which company rented the week for Adam149 & if you had to pay fees up front. Everyone that has contacted me, wants money up front to either rent my week or to sell the entire time share, so I think those are scams too. Please let me know if you have any info.

Did you go through Executive Properties? I'm sceptical to pay them the upfront amount on their promise to rent out the place, but apparently it worked for you if you got a check, but how much did you have to pay them?? Please let me know!!!

I did the Executive Properties thing and it was $800 for five years. I haven't received any checks yet because I just bought it a couple of months ago. I'm supposed to have my weeks rented out the first part of 2010 and should get my first check shortly after that...hopefully (fingers crossed).

Thanks for your response. I'm down in Coco now, staying with friends & have a meeting today with Coco Sunset to clarify some things. Whenever you get a check please let me know by posting on this website. I'd appreciate it. I only got one week for the price everyone else has paid...so I'm going to talk to them about that too. I was never even told which weeks I would get....thought it was any week...didn't know that the deal with Interval was only for 2 yrs.....mine with Coco is for 25 yrs....I didn't know about the 15 yr. option....also don't know how they bill you each yr. for the maintenance fee (which can go up) This is the biggest mistake I've ever made!!
