Re: Beware of rising maintenance fees before purchasing a timeshare (by Maria A.):
Yes, fees did seem to go up considerably across the board, some far worse then others. Add to that the rising exchange company fee to exchange somewhere else {especially RCI'S increase } and things are not like they used to be. My advice is to call the resort directly and confirm with them any listed maintance fee, and also ask if there is an upcoming special assesment! They can be QUITE hefty!
