I’m wondering if anybody else has any experience with something like this but we bought a Westgate timeshare one year ago, went back to the same place and put in for an upgrade however…. Upon discovering the room infested with bedbugs we decided to cancel it. We were told that when you upgrade...

This is a wonderful resort located about 15 minutes south of Kailua Kona on the Big Island. The two bedroom unit is very spacious with a nice kitchen. You can book this room as a WorldMark owner via Club pass or as I did for this visit using Wyndham Rewards.
I was in building 30 on the...
I enjoyed the Club Wyndham Kauai Coast Resort at the Beachboy (formerly Shell). It is in the Small town of Kapaa on the eastern shore close to the airport. There is a lovely beach with trees near the ocean. You can't really swim there because of the currents, but it is still lovely to listen...
Hey guys looking to see if anyone has gone the non-resort route for like a timeshare-esque ownership arrangement for a nice apartment or condo in the center of town. Maybe Playa Del Carmen or Tulum?
I'm very curious what your experience was like
About an hour drive from the Lihue Airport in Princeville Hawaii on the Island of Kauai sits the Club Wyndham Bali Hai resort. Today's review is of the two bedroom unit. The building are two stories tall and have lush tropical plant throughout. There are two pools, a fitness center, plenty of...
Both Timeshares and Airbnb can provide great vacations. I have used both but have tended to focus more on Timeshares. For me, making a purchase of a timeshare was making a commitment to taking a vacation. I am very active in a lot of projects, so making a timeshare a project was my way of...
There are several questions one would ask about living in a timeshare for six months. 1) Why would anyone do this? 2) What are the economics? 3) What are the possibilities? 4) How can I do this?
Why would anyone do this? Two weeks a year to vacation and see the world is not enough anymore...
Last week, I reviewed the non ocean view room. But, if you stay here ask for an ocean view. It is so worth it to sit on your deck in the afternoon and watch a sunset. Or have early morning coffee and stare at the ocean. Located about 40 minutes north of San Diego California in the beach town...
Originally announced in May of 2018, The Marriott Vacation Club purchase of Vistana promised a vision of a high end and extensive network of quality timeshares. As an owner of both Vistana and Marriott Vacation Club, I was excited about the proposed merger. I even went so far as to upgrade my...
Located about 40 minutes north of San Diego California in the beach town of Carlsbad California sits the Grand Pacific Palisades by Hilton Grand Vacations. There are two good sized pools, a fitness center, a restaurant, several hot tubs, and much more to enjoy. There was a special pool for kids...
Located near Orlando Florida in Kissammee, Florida sits the Liki Tiki Resort by Diamond International. It has three different pools plus many activities which makes it a wonderful place for a family to vacation. The one bedroom I was in can sleep 4 people and has a full kitchen. The full...
In this video, I highlighted that AirBnb can be an excellent opportunity to expand your travel options. In my case, I rented a one bedroom in Phoenix during the peak period of January. If I rented timeshares for that same period, it would have cost me much more than the $1300+ I paid for the...
Hello all,
I just returned from La Pacifica in Los Cabos and I have to tell you I was absolutely enchanted. I was seriously considering buying the timeshare on the spot when I learned that HGVC uses a points system in order to make reservations, but the upfront retail prices scared the crap out...

We had a great time in Wyndham Florida. We got the best of our timeshare, lots of points for at least three vacations for year. Unfortunately we have no choice but to Sell Wyndham timeshare because unfortunately I lost my job because of COVID, and can no longer afford it. If someone wants to buy...
Hi new member here, so I recently rescinded but I’m still interested, one of the sales agent said with the 9k package I think it was 30k points he said I could get any hotel under their brand 5 days 4 nights even if it’s Hawaii during peak season, it sounds too good to be true and a load of crap...

So I sent a cancellation letter to Hilton within four days of signing. Cancellation was within the allotted 10 days and it says they have 20 days according to the contract to refund our money. I didn’t put too much in the letter other than me and my wife’s decision to cancel within the time...
Hello everyone,
My family is interested to buy a Marriott timeshare. We own Worldmark timeshare and are new to Marriott's system.
Can someone advice what are more beneficial to buy: Marriott week or Marriott destination points?
Most of the time we travel by weeks, but it will be great to have a...
Hello-
I'm helping my (elderly) parents to try to sell (or give away) their timeshare.
I'm tech savvy, and have sold my home in the past by owner, so they wanted me to try to help. Only thing is I'm new to timeshares, and trying to read up on how to do this on my own.
They own a 2-bdrm at...

Hey guys! My husband and I bought a Holiday Inn timeshare in Florida back in 2018 for around 25k. I had just graduated from college and thought it was a great investment... I was 21 years old. Used it once in Arizona in 2019, immediately regretted it. Contacted an exit company but they haven't...
In order to keep my costs down living in timeshares all year round, I use both RCI and Interval international for special deals. Usually this means that I book timeshares within two months of my stay. This is when timeshares that have excess capacity lower their prices.
I will be doing a...
TUG,
This is my first post. I have a problem and I hope someone can guide me in the right direction.
My parents died about 6 and 9 years ago, respectively. They had no will or estate. I am their only child.
They owned a timeshare; bought in 1990; fully paid for; only annual maintenance fees...
Over a four week period, I stayed in four different timeshares from north of San Diego to south of Los Angeles. I feel really fortunate to have been able to stay at these four wonderful timeshare properties. I would go back to any one of them again, but I am curious which of the four you...
Selling our timeshare!!!! We are moving and will not be able to use it any longer. It is paid for in full, and we will pay the transfer fees. You will only be responsible for the yearly maintenance fees which run about $350.00.
*please post the details, vs a link to another resale site.
I decided to take my wife out for a night away, seeing as how we live outside Orlando. Hotels nationwide are throwing out incentives like crazy! For instance, Best Western (where we are staying) is throwing out plenty of bonus points for any stay. Maybe a timeshare, if you find one nearby in the...
Just wondering if anyone personally has developed health issues as a result of recent travel to a timeshare or other travel (Covid-19 or other conditions).
