[Q=brian1124] [Q=lisag275] So basically, what you're saying is, when I bought my timeshare at Mayan Palace, and was promised it will be a great investment (ie that I can rent out my weeks and make all of my money back) it was a huge lie and I bought my membership under false pretenses. So how do the rental companies, who are selling the weeks for more than double what I'm seeing on redweek, ever find renters? or don't they?![/Q] Yes they lied ! and that is also the definition for timeshare presentations. The investment you really made is that you will know be going to one of the mayan palaces each and every year, or else you're throwing away the maint. fee.Did they sell you a 2bdr. mayan palace unit then give you 2or3 extra weeks the first year and 2 extra weeks per year for 5 years at sea garden in mazatlan. Then the best is when they indirectly recommend an agency to rent all these weeks for you if you would like to rent. The agency will be willing to take a couple of hundred $ for a one time fee. We have been going to mayan palace for 4 years and nothing has been rented out by the rental agency. Sorry for the bad news, but your not alone. hey see you at a mayan palace someday!![/Q] They sold us 1 regular week and 1 vacation fair week per year + a "sunpak" week that we can only use between may and september each year. the good news is, we don't have to pay maintenece fees unless we actually use the weeks (they waived that - in writing - at the sales presentation) the bad news is, we were totally taken for fools and believed them when they said we can rent out our weeks through these rental companies and actually make a small profit. So you said you did go with one of the rental agencies, and they haven't sold any of your weeks yet? can you tell me which agency you chose? what was their excuse for this, after i'm sure they "guaranteed" they'd sell your weeks??!! this is outrageous, that these companies can get away with this. how do they live with themselves?!?!?!
