I don't know about Caribbean timeshares but Mexican timeshares are all RTU (Right To Use) until a certain date in the future. In other words, you don't own the unit/week with a title of ownership.

You can pass on the "right to use" and the original contract can be extended. On the other hand, if you want to get rid of the place in the future, you (eventually) have an automatic "out"! As I understand it, only the Mexican resorts within a certain distance from the shore must be Right to Use. The beach itself is always public property. Inland resorts may have different rules.

A major issue to consider if you buy is whether or not the resort is or is not a Compulsory All Inclusive. If price is no object, no problem. If you'd like to save a few bucks by cooking some of your own meals or want to try some outside restaurants, All Inclusive is an expensive problem. In the Cancun area, Mayan Palace is one of the few resort groups that is NOT All Inclusive. Other areas have more choices.

Try trading into some resorts that interest you and look them over before you decide to buy. MD
