Re: Purchasing thru Redweek or other resale companies (by Lisa L.):
wow - thank you so much for all of the insightful information about timeshares! There are so many people who love timeshares and so many who don't. I know that when my husband and I went to our first presentation at Sheraton Vistana Villages, we couldn't believe that the maintenance fee was basically what it normally cost for us to vacation for a week - then you had to pay for the timeshare itself! While we love Orlando, I don't see us going there year after year if we owned a timeshare, so that is why I asked the question regarding floating weeks. While it is expensive to trade, I think that after you've paid the price of the timeshare, it's not that much in the grand scheme of things.
Besides Aruba, where are the best places to purchase?
