Re: grand mayan luxxe villa (by Michael H.):

Ever since I first purchased back in 2003 and listened to their pitch about renting, I was skeptical, but let my wife talk me into it. While it did work out for us as we owned a MP elite week originally, it is just not meant to be a rental investment.

Each time we have upgraded, and we have, it has been for our use and as a side we rent out when we can, but do not look to make all our money back.

We have been lucky the past few times to have sales people who understand that talking to us about rental rates is pointless and while i let them do their mumbo jumbo with take weeks away and giving you a rental bonus for use of the weeks, i ignore it and move on. I worry more about my final cost and the perks they are willing to give me.

Just remember all, I have been through the same crap pushy sales presentations in the states also. While Mexico seems to be the only place that actually push you on rentals, all timeshares push you to buy because they are supposed to make your vacations cheaper.
