TRYING TO GET OUT OF MEXICO TIMESHARE (by Denise P.):

I contacted Playa Grande yesterday to get out of our 2 fixed weeks at Playa Grande. We have owned since 1999. We no longer go and no longer want to pay $1900 for a vacation place we don't use. They are offering a Voluntary Surrender prior to 1/15/19 for $1800 per unit...$3,600 and we are done. They will waive 2019 maintenance fee if we act prior to 1/15/19.

However, from all research I have been able to do Playa Grande is part of Solmar which is a Mexican Corp but maintenance fees, etc are through an American company. A voluntary surrender is in essence a contract foreclosure...just voluntary...and can and will hurt our credit. We do not want our credit hurt.

Playa Grande got the documents to me within a 2 hours window of time. The Voluntary Surrender form is 2 short paragraphs and the last line says "AGREEMENT FOR FUTURE MAINTENANCE FEE OBLIGATIONS AND TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION AGAINST THE UNDERSIGNED". I don't trust that...

Any reliable information would be appreciated. NO TIMESHARE SELLERS!!!

I recently called to cancel my membership as well with Playa Grande/Solmar because the maintenance fees have significantly gone up each year. When I purchased it from the previous owners in 2012, the fees were 600 for the year now they are 1000 for the year.

I was quoted a 1700 figure to surrender my timeshare.

Is this legal?

Nowhere on the transfer paperwork does it state that fees will be charged for cancelation.
