    Just Attended Grand Mayan Presentation

    We are at the Cancun GM. Attended the presentation today. We purchased our timeshare on eBay at least 15 years ago. The presentation focused on moving from the timeshare to a fractional ownership. We would get 4 weeks and they would “buy”2 over 5 years. They wanted $35000 and 10% down today...

    Value of a week at Vidanta

    Was wondering what the value of a week, say, at Grand Mayan in NV or RM might be outside of the TS system? My parents had a place in Hilton Head Island and I saw a site asking $4300 for a week at the same villa. My parents were up to $1000US a year in MFs (Marriott) so it tended to put some...

    My Vidanta Story

    It was late Summer in 2007, the end of a long work day in Iraq when I decided to surf the net. I saw an incredible deal to purchase a one bedroom at the Mayan Palace for less than a single year's maintenance fee. I immediately decided to make an offer, and I was the winning bid. I don't know...
