Hey
I am a complete newbie at timeshares. Just stayed (rented through Hotels.com) at Sweetwater Lift Lodge (contrary to postings on TUG, it is in fact Sweetwater Lift Lodge, and not “formerly”..) in Park City and absolutely loved it. Had a huge 1 BR, with kitchen, etc
The desk manager laughed when I told him how much I paid for the week. He said to buy a timeshare for a lot less. As far as I can see the resort is not affiliated with any timeshare company. So he gave me the name of the management company running it to contact them to buy a TS, or to go on something called “redweek.com”.
I’d like the same week I rented, I guess it’s week 7 (feb 22-March 1), or a week later.
I don’t know where to start, or even what to do after I buy it: how do I exchange it for another resort if they are affiliated with an exchange co.
Should I buy directly through their mgmnt company, or through Redweek, or TUG, or ?
I saw listings for weeks for sale at $1, and others at $5,000....don’t understand the difference
Where should I start?
Thanks all
