I do not own a Timeshare and I am new to TUG. My wife and I recently had a wonderful vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. On our vacation we were pitched a Timeshare Presentation by the Unlimited Vacation Club from AM Resorts. The final offer we recieved was about $20,900 for a 50 year or 100 weeks or $12,600 or 30 weeks(They lowered it to $10,100 but then there were too many restrictions that I could not use it). For this they would save us 25 percent and give us an upgrade to the Preferred Club everytime we stayed at one of their Resorts. They were also willing to throw in a stay at their resort Zoetry. At first they said 7 days and then 3 to 4 days. I looked into this because I enjoyed the all inclusive resort and due to my work I usually can only go on vacation around Christmas time which is getting to be quite expensive every year and wanted to see if we could lower or cost each year. However I did not do this deal because it did not make financial sense to me. It would save me about $1,000 each time I stayed at their Resorts so this looked like too long a period of time to get my money back.
That being said we had a great time at the All Inclusive and if I was wondering if there are any type of Timeshare with All Inclusives(probably looking in the Carribean). I just am not sure how this would work because they are providing more than room but food, service and entertainment as well. Would anyone have a reputable company to recommend? I have seen some horror stories of people buying timeshares in Mexico(though the same could be said about the U.S.) While I understand that Timeshares are not the best investment it has to make some sort of financial sense over a period of time. I appreciate any advice on this. Thank you.
