Lowest maintenance= Best value (by Rami L.):
More than any other factor the value (cost-per-night) is determine by the annual maintenance. This is where the resorts are making all their money. The problem is that even if you buy a resale, the seller does not control the annual fees. So you assume this annual big liability, probably the main reason the seller wants to sell! The avarge annual manitenance for a 2 bedrooms suite at a Gold Crown or 5 stars resort in U.S. or Mexico is $800-$2000. That means a cost-per-night $114-$285. That's not such a great deal, is it? What's the solution? I buy timeshare resale in Africa with annual fees of only $350! That means that my cost-per-night is only $50 and I enjoy the same Gold Crown resorts that others are paying 5 times more. That's what happiness is.
