[Q=samd12] "What do you plan to do regarding your timeshare?" For the time being I'll just keep on using it and just blow off what I chump I was to put $11K into the pockets of those sleazeballs. What I'll probably keep getting more and more pissed off about is the concomitant decline in service/accomodation and increase in maintenance fee that's been going on for several years. Also, I'll keep an eagle eye out for suckers who are up there on those sponsored weekend where they try to high pressure them into buying a unit -- and make sure I speak to at least one person and set them straight about what they are contemplating getting into. Eventually, I will probably donate mine to a homeless shelter.[/Q] I feel badly for you and I guess myself, too, if this is what I have to look forward to. Have you ever tried to trade your unit through II? I have not attempted to do that yet, but we have traded our other timeshare, The Ridge Tahoe, several times with good experiences at other 5 star resorts including even larger units at Marriotts. Granted, we did put our requests in way in advance and gave some flexibility to several different locations and resorts, but so far, we have had great experiences and Los Abrigados is still listed in II as a 5 star resort-----I sure hope that that doesn't change!
