Re: Starwood Timeshare (by Marilyn W.):

Hi Jennifer - yes those villas are very tempting, but as you've figured out - VERY expensive for what you get, and although they say it is yours, you are actually sharing it with 51 other familes - not quite the same to me as having your own place. Your math is correct that you are paying alot per year for that week, when you could stay at the same place for so much less by renting, with the added advantage that you are not pressured to stay there the same week every year, and you don't have to plan a year in advance to try to stay someplace else for a change. So to me, the answer is clear - it's better to rent. But it would be interesting to hear from a happy owner what they have to say about it. Any owners out there?
