Deeded Kaanapali Beach Club or Point at Poipu (by Keith P.):
I hate to hear that your husband is ill and also that you are really considering surrendering your deed. DRI has really screwed all of us (IMHO). Beware of ANY timeshare resale company that wants you to pay them one dime. There are many timeshare scams (besides Diamond-yep) going around these days so be careful. Obviously surrendering it to Diamond Resorts will result in no money for you but it appears that they are taking some back. My gut feeling is that they have been able to take a lot of them back for free and in some cases, charged the owner a fee which I find repulsive. How nice of them to devalue our timeshare vacation to basically Zero......good luck and be careful.
