First of all, you are very smart to not pay anyone anything upfront to sell your timeshare. However, to be perfectly honest (and the truth will probably hurt), your timeshare likely has zero resale value despite what the sales person told you when you bought it. Many owners like you are actually having a hard time giving their Mayan units away. You can try listing it on E-bay and see if anyone bids on it.
If you've come to the realization that your unit is worth zero on the resale market, then you have to decide if you want to keep it or try to give it away. Since it is probably a right-to-use rather than deeded property (most units in Mexico are RTU), then one possibility is to just stop paying maintenance fees and the resort will eventually terminate your membership. The downside is that you will face a bunch of collection calls and possibly a hit on your credit rating.
