*Sorry, I should title my posting as Keep or Cancel...
I am torn 50:50 if I will keep my contract or cancel.
After I return home and discuss this deal with my husband (he did not join my family's 1st trip to Vidanta. It was only myself and my son), he wanted to get out of it as we already own diamond resort points (22500, Hawaii collection, fully paid) and may not want to pay another 55K for one registered week + 2 residence week of Kingdom of Sun unit II at new park, Nuevo Vallarta (use fee is $1600). My 8 year old son really enjoyed Vidanta and I can see my family visiting Mexico at least one or two weeks a year. We can use sister resorts of Grand Luxx Loft, Junior Villa, Grand Bliss Master Suite, GrandMayan Master Suite if we don't use the park when they open (I purchased additional 5k full park premier pass package).
We used 15000 Diamond points (maintenance fee of 15000 points is $2800) to have a grand luxxe loft during Christmas week last year. My question is
1) how will you use your other timeshare points or resort to book at Vidanta? Aimfair rental price is around $2500-$3500 for renting the unit that I like (Grand Luxx one bed room or Grand Bliss Master Suite) and Vidanta resort is never open to the market (which I liked about its exclusivity). I want to know what other ways that I can go back to Vidanta if I don't own one.
2) what other resorts in other Caribbean resorts or South Asian resorts (Thai, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia etc) can you use via Vidanta SFX?
3) Is it true you can get 2 weeks in exchange with 1 week of Vidanta?
4) can you use both registered and residence weeks for SFX?
If I cancel my contract,
1) what other high value of resorts that I should consider buying at the TS resale market, which give an access to high end resorts? We live in midwest, USA and travel heavily to Caribbean (winter) and Asian countries (summer), Canada (Niagara Fall) and Tennessee (Smokey Mountain) during fall.
2) does any exchange resort cover all inclusive resorts in Caribbean?
I know I have so many questions but they are important for me to make a final decision. I really enjoyed our experiences in Vidanta much better than any other resorts of Diamond that we travelled including Las Vegas, Hawall, Florida, Sedona, etc. Initially, I was thinking to trade in Diamond but learned in Tugbbs that it does not give any better deal. Instead, I may keep and rent it out my Hawaii resorts.
