I have friends who are considering taking over (2) fixed weeks (last week in Sept., 1st week in October, 2 bed/2 bath units) from other friends at Casa Ybel I am trying to help them out on deciding whether to do this and advised them I would try and get info from any TUG member who owns at this resort.
1. Is anyone aware of upcoming assessment?
2. They were told that maintenance fees run around $1,000 per week.
3. I checked on RCI website and if they deposited either week, they would get 20 TPU's if they deposited 9 months or longer out. Not alot of TPU's in my opinion unless one is willing to "grab and go" on short notice. (I am only familiar with RCI as that is the exchange company I use.)
4. Our friends are in their mid-60's and have not dealt with owning a timeshare. I told them "just because you are being given these weeks for free - it's not necessarily a good thing.
Any info you can provide on this resort - pro's & con's would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't want our friends to regret taking this on. (Hubby and I own 5 weeks of timeshares - all in different locations, and being in our late 60's will be "downsizing" soon, so don't want our friends to take this on and regret it w/i 2 years!)
