On another note, what a timeshare salesperson tells you and what's in the written contract are two completely different things. If he assured you he would buy your previous purchase, even though it still had a mortgage on it and it wasn't stated in the written contract, then the point is moot. That's why people should read their contracts backwards and forwards and inside and out BEFORE signing anything.
Many (not all) timeshare salespeople will tell you anything in order for you to sign on that dotted line, and then it's all over ..... they have you exactly where they want you whether they told you (verbally) the truth or not. At least you know that now when you're young.
Harborside at Atlantis, in the Bahamas is a Starwood resort and is one of the most popular resorts out there. You might think of trading there sometime with your Starwood property. Check on Redweek what Harborside rentals run .... they are out of sight high, although in this bad economy rental asking prices aren't necessarily what owners will get.
Good luck, and I'm glad you made the choice to enjoy your timeshares.
