how do timeshare weeks work? (by Lance R.):

Im looking into buyind a timeshare at Royal playa del carmen from the secondary market. The add says 80 red season floating weeks to be used by RTU of 2057 with $299 maintenance fees only when used? Im new to this so Here are my questions: Could I use and give away multiple weeks to be used at the same time so I could vacation with my friends? Can you really use the weeks when and how you want? Are you treated any differently, ie. put at the end of the line if you already own because they want new vacationers money? Can you use weeks to upgrade rooms? If so and they say "yeah give us 3 of your weeks and we will give you an ocean front room" do you pay the $299 maintenance fee for the week you are there or $299x3 for each week you used for the upgrade? Is there a booking fee or is that the Maintenance fee? Any other fees I should worry about? How much is the mandatory all inclusive meal plan? Ive been here several time so I know what to expect from the accomodations but there has to be a reason people are trying to get rid of their timeshares. Whats the perk? Help please!!!!
