Diamond Resorts International (DRI) Maui Kaanapali Beach Club (by Jamie K.):

Okay users group, need your help. I have a one-bedroom every other year at DRI Maui Kaanapali Beach Club. I have to pay $1300 a year but I can only use it every other year. I thinking about getting rid of it and will probably have to surrender it since my income will drop; I'm retiring and I have children in college.

I need advice. Should I keep it? It initially cost me about $17,000 for it. Seems crazy to pay $2,600 essentially to use it once every other year.

Thoughts and suggestions. It's too expensive to rent out since you can rent it for less than half what I pay.
