[Q=kimberlym152] We bought 4 years ago. We have 2 units, and our kids love it there.I have mixed feelings about it, we have to follow the school breaks and with our schedules its very hard to make reservations so far in advance.I dont like the rule that you cant book holiday weeks one year then again the next year. I tried to get a week for April and was unable so now I have 2 weeks I cant use this year and I just had to rent a condo in Orlando for our vacation this year. To tell you the truth the price was great so now I think with all the maintenance fees and club fees am I really saving money as an owner??? My husband says get rid of them! I dont know, I have 2 boys 18 who leave for collage soon but a daughter 15 who loves it. I tell my husband when the Kids are gone we can start trading and travel places we couldnt with the kids. Who knows how much of a hassel it will be to trade, hope its not like trying to get a reservation at our home resort! Dont get me wrong it is a GREAT place for families![/Q] We just bought a 2 bedroom oceanside. The salesman made it sound easy to put it up for rent, then use the special resort deals or RCI privilidges for owners. I liked the idea of the w/in 14 day stay for as little of $50 a night - can you realy get those deals? Also, the RCI pin number that lets you stay at timeshare resorts all over the world for around $250 a week (if you book within 45 days) or for an extra $150 book further out. He made it sound like that RCI feature was unique for Cape Caribe because were are not an RCI owned property. Also, he said we could book through RCI to stay at the beach (Cape Caribe) for a week at very discounted rates. He also said that because we would be paying guests (not just RCI week exchangers), that when we use the owner PIN number and get the great deals that they would be more likely to give the room to use - rather than someone who was just exchanging because they were not getting any more money from them. We have 3 days left to decide if we will change our minds. We are looking on-line to see what resales would cost. Any comments would be appreciated.
