Inaccuracies need correction / clarification... (by KC):

maybe you can sign a Quit Deed, and walk away from the unit and they keep your money and resell, but you would be out of what you invested and maybe some more $$ for legal fees cost associated with this. Talk to a place that buys Timeshares from people

First of all, there is no "deed" (quit claim or otherwise) in Mexican timeshares, which are merely "right to use" (RTU) CONTRACTS. They are essentially just "memberships". Accordingly, there is no actual "ownership" of anything at all --- and hence there is no deed.

Secondly, few people are interested in buying a Mexican RTU contract from someone else. There is actually a fair number of people trying to GIVE AWAY their Mexican RTU contracts, often with no success. Transfer fees for timeshare contracts in Mexico are often also quite excessive, making it even more difficult to find a new contract recipient. Also, since timeshare rentals in Mexico are basically "a dime a dozen", why would anyone seek to willingly take on a Mexican contract obligation and the associated annual fee burden?

Legal fees? Irrelevant and unnecessary. If someone wants "out" of a Mexican RTU contract, all they have to do is stop paying fees and the "membership" will ultimately be terminated.

The ONE thing you've stated which is factually correct is that any money paid to date will be retained by the Mexican timeshare operation, with no refunds --- even if / when the Mexican timeshare operation later terminates the contract / membership for non-payment of fees.
