I am very disappointed. I was told that I could exchange my two bedroom for two weeks in a one-bedroom anywhere in the world. Therefore, I deposited my two weeks with Interval International in Dec 2005. I have tried to exchange it for another place with NO LUCK. That is over one year without NO RESULTS! Plus. I had to pay $39/week to deposit the two weeks. Then they charged me $135 per week to get an exchange, which I never received. On Top of that, they keep raising the maintenance fee. The Maintenance fee is $720 this year. And yet the place is falling apart. You explain how many units they have times 52 weeks x $720. That comes to a hell of a lot of money. Where does it go? To the owners and managers – not to maintenance and upkeep. $720 + $270 + 78 = $1,068 That should buy a decent vacation someplace nice. And I cannot get an exchange anyway.

Good luck! Best, Jim

Thats interesting Jim. We've owned our 3 bed timeshare at CC for 2 years and have had similar experience and trouble with exchange etc. Just about to set off for a one week stay at CC so we'll see what its like. We've still got 2 weeks to take with Interval but they never have anything. All those promises about easy exchange that Brad the salesman made to us in 2005 don't seem to be true at all. We've resigned ourselves to usung the resort and not exchanging but reading some of the resort reviews from 2007 I'm more than a little worried.
