Looking for any input on Palace Resort and Hyatt Sunset Harbor (by Rich D.):
Sorry in advance for the long question. I am looking for advice and personal experiences on two purchases I am contemplating. The first purchase is a right to use TS at palace resorts in Mexico. This is for personal or family/friend use. I am definitely not looking for a rental property but if I could trade for something for my own personal use that would not be out of the question. I am specifically looking at a resale and after seeing in the forums what a nightmare this can be with US properties…well I am a little scarred that things will go less than perfect. I have been to the palace resorts 2 already and I have never been disappointed, I would hope owning a TS at Sun Palace or Aventura Spa would not disappoint but that is what I am looking for is input from those of you with more experience. Just looking for any concerns , pitfalls or suggestions. I am new to owning but have been looking for sometime at all the usual sites. The other purchase I am considering is Hyatt Sunset Harbor in Key West. I have been going to key west for a while now every year and I can t imagine not going back again year after year. Again this unit would be personal use. I do travel a lot so I like the idea of having points available to use should we travel abroad. This purchase seems more cut and dry but once again I am looking for any input anyone is willing to throw out there . My one predicament is what season to buy in. I love the first or second week of Nov in KW. From what I read though I get the feeling I should try to buy in the high season and then just trade down and bank the remaining points. If you have suggestions, warnings, concern, all is welcome. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and hopefully reply…R
