Marriott Right of First Refusal (by Michael B.):

I read in another Red Week Forum that Marriott has offered as much as $14,000. for an Aruba Marriott timeshare. From now on, I will jump at the booking opportunities for the best holiday vacation weeks, book them and then rent them. Aruba used to be our favorite but I finally got tired of the constant construction , entering the room to change air filters, check thermostats, check for roof problems, painting outside, fire alarm testing, power outages, half of the pools closed, etc. To me there are only two other Marriott timeshare locations in the good old USA worth going to. We once rented Marriott Breckenridge , CO through Marriott and when we got there the elevator was lined with wood and the floors were lined with plastic as painting was in progress. We requested and received a much better villa in another just renovated building. We paid $103.00 a night for a Memorial Day weekend. Now that's the way to use a Marriott timeshare. Believe me I am happy with Marriott now that I can make some money on renting and more than pay for my $228.00. per day maintenance fees.
