Re: We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion??? (by Brenda G.):
We have 5 Marriott timeshares in Orlando. We are retired and plan a year in advance to either go to our home resort, Grande Vista, or exchange to another Marriott resort in Orlando or West Palm. We need to get 5 consecutive weeks a year. We then have plenty of time to plan our flight and rental car. It's not cheap, but gets us out of the cold winter for a few weeks. I doubt that we could find 5 consecutive weeks for rent anywhere. The kids and grandkids also plan months in advance to come and visit. We love it. By the way, our maintenance fees only go up by about $100 every year for all 5. Only regret, is not buying on Redweek.
