Hi, I am new to TUG,
Browsing the site I see that I have made about every mistake that I see warned about in the messages and like you have heard before, "I wish I knew this existed before I bought!"
BUT here I am & I'd like to make the best of it.
We bought at Marriott Surf Watch on Hilton Head last year, and we are happy with that decision. As an incentive gift they threw in a week at one of their Aruba resorts, and this is where we get into trouble!!
We were approached on the street by a lady inviting us to the Occidental Aruba for a sales presentation the next day (Free Breakfast! $75 in casino chips! She makes her sales quota! Everybody happy!)
Long story short, we end up with a week at an all-inclusive every other year for a price that I now know was too much, but seemed OK at the time. They threw in 4 bonus weeks, which seemed to me a good way to pay for the deal....
The bonus weeks are studio rooms that sleep two, ocean view, and flexible times.
Questions: 1. renting an all-inclusive should I add in the price of the food plan($95/day/person includes alcohol)
2. should I schedule them myself & advertise the specific week, or advertise them as flexible, and try to do the scheduling for the renter?
I did not see any past threads addressing those issues, so I thank you for any info/advice, etc., that you have.
