Hi @Evergreen777 - Welcome to TUG .

I have an RCI weeks membership. I can see the following resorts listed (as AI optional) :

RCI 3155- Sunset Marina Resort and Yacht - 503 available units / thru Dec 2024
RCI 2465 -SunsetRoyal Beach Resort -457 available units / thru Dec 2024
RCI 7466 - Sunset Fisherman's Spa Resort -525 available units / thru Dec 2024

Many / most of these weeks are likely developer deposits but some could be owner deposits.

Hi @T-Dot-Traveller, thanks.

Did you buy the RCI weeks membership at the Sunset World? I'm just trying to understand their sales process. I want to know if Sunset Group sells RCI weeks memberships at their timeshare sales presentations. Thanks.

Hi @Evergreen777
RCI is a timeshare exchange company. My RCI membership was part of our 2003 purchase of Taranova.
I can pay my yearly MF and use my week at Taranova or deposit the week into RCI and then exchange.
There is an exchange fee to do this. I also pay a fee to keep my RCI membership active.

RCI and Intervals International are the 2 largest TS exchanges

With Sunset World you buy contracts. That resort family is affiliated with RCI as its exchange company. With RCI most of the resorts have 2 resort codes one code is for mandatory All Inclusive the other code is for optional All Inclusive.

I own at Sunset Fishermens Resort and Spa this is located in Playa Del Carmen, MX I own 10 contracts because I sold 2 this year. I obviously love Fishermens, but the Sunset sales machine is not a company you want to deal with.

I know Sunset is still selling memberships out of the other locations. DONT BUY ANYTHING. In my opinion there are no purely RCI memberships that are not linked to a home resort.
There are things called vacation club ownerships but they are worthless as your always competing with billions of other owners that want the same resort locations.

If you want to have an RCI membership just let someone give you a contract for free that exchanges into RCI

Due Diligence is the key.

I was duped by the timeshare sales representative into believing I was receiving three RCI weeks. That is why I signed a contract that they agreed to cancel, but not return my investment when I submitted evidence of fraud to Profeco. There are many games these predators use to create victims. Please feel free to send the following post to any victims of Sunset World timeshare sales representatives:

I have attended ten meetings with Profeco over a two year period. At the age of 82, I still have some fight left in me. During the two years, I have discovered so much including the basics of fraud (lie, intent to deceive, and thereby fraud). But the problem people face is Profeco can only do so much. This company is estimated to have revenues well over 500 million a year. So complainants are like flies on an elephant's back. But there might be ways to get bad actors in the timeshare industry to pay a price. The statue of limitations for complainants is a factor and under what circumstances it can be extended to ten years. A class action lawsuit by victims over this period for moral damages and punitive damages would be the only way to make this company think twice about the different games used to deceive the consumer, and I am sure there are several. The games used to dupe my wife and I became obvious after two years of investigation. Some complainants and lawyers might miss them, clauses not in the Adhesion Contract, but in accompanying papers one might have signed that made the entire contract void or illegal. One such clause basically says the consumer cannot claim fraud. If people who have a complaint against Sunset World Group, Resorts, Promotora Cancun Share, or any other that induced them to buy a timeshare, please reply to this notice. I want to start gathering a list of claimants who have bonafide claims against this company or who settled, but suffered emotionally or financially receiving less than they had hoped for in the last ten years from the time the contract was signed. By the way as a result of a recent change in the law, one might file for a change in jurisdiction as to where a claim may be filed in Mexico. It need not necessarily be filed in Cancun where this company obviously would have an advantage. Do not listen to these respondents who blame you for becoming a victim of a predator. From mistakes, one learns. It takes courage and wherewithal to stand up to a multi-million dollar predator. Let us see if we can do it together.
