Rescind and buy resale
We also purcahsed Hyatt Coconut Planation from the developer in August 2005. When we got home, I sourced several good sites for resales and we rescinded the very next day. We sent a fax, a DHL letter and a US Postal Certified letter. Our contract was rescinded so quickly that we never even got entered into the system. We did NOT have any trouble with Hyatt on changing our minds. Now let me tell you what we did to replace this purchase.
We already own 2 weeks of RCI gold crown timeshare, so we really did not need the Hyatt time. But we had been to Coconut Planation 3 times in 2 years and down to Hyatt Windward Point in Key West. We were going in the summer, so I was getting deals on the room rates - but we really liked Hyatt. So we purchased an EOY (every other year) package for 1400 points for 8400 dollars. I rescinded this package and purcased an every year 1400 point week for 9000.00 dollars. The purchase went thru without a hitch and we are now thinking about selling our other weeks and purchasing a 1880 to 2000 point Hyatt week. We purchased at The Beach House since we could get the lowest price on this specific resort. It does NOT really matter where you purchase in Hyatt, you will be able to trade into any Hyatt property with the execption of maybe Christmas or Presidents week. Other then that you will be fine, I know because I made the sales manager at Coconut Plantation show me the inventory for Breckenridge and Beaver Creek for Feb ski season. We would not have had a problem at all booking a ski trip via Hyatt.
Rescind now and check these web sites, you should be able to purchase a 1400 point week for $9000 and a 1880 point week for around $12,100. Both of these sites are good places to look. At Key West resales, they are real estate agents - you make an offer and they present to the seller. So, even if a week is listed for 17,000 - offer $12,000. I bet they can find what you need. The sites are as follows
www.bywindkal.com and
www.timeshare-keywest.com You can also try redweek, that is how I found several possible sellers. Good luck, you will love Hyatt but just do not overpay for your points.
