We just got here and decided to do an update tomorrow. Any specific questions I should ask?
Pretty much hundreds of the same questions. Lol.If you've got a few hours to spare read through this thread. I'm sure there are 100s of questions on there. Alternatively, just enjoy your vacation and ask the questions pertinent to your situation

NEW THREAD HERE: https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/new-thread-discussion-of-new-abound-vsn-documents-posted-online.343214/ ---------------------------- Here is a link to the discussion on the Marriott forum - be nice over there, we may be adopted by them soon! ;) Thread Dedicated to the...tugbbs.com
We went today and I would say it’s the most aggressive presentation I’ve been to anywhere. They offered us $100 to go and after we declined many times it went to $150. Well we took it and they were pushing us to buy 44000 eoy at Lagunamar for 11,000 dollars. this would grandfather us into the Marriott system.I´ve been 3 times, before the third invitation we refused due to the high pressure, but the supervisor called us and told that nobody could be aggressive with us, and if we have any problem contact to him, the update was fast and easy, after we said to the sales person no thanks, he let us go.

said no many times but they kept saying why are you passing up such a great deal. the big threat is that with all the new M people thete would be ni mire availability for us in the future if wd did not join.
After saying no numerous times to the closer we went ti see the woman who "was going to ask us about our experience but who of course tried to sell us another deal. she was rude and pushy and suggested we did not know what we were talking about so in the end we got up and left.
a very disappointing experience.
Try Vidanta. We got 4 Chichen Itza Bus tours and 4 all day all inclusive Catamaran tours to Isla Mujeres. Over $1000 worth of goodies, but we wouldn't do it again. Lol.That surprises me. I’ve always found Lagunamar presentations to be pretty laid back. You obviously haven’t sat through a presentation in Orlando…..
These are the types of presentations that really ruin 2-3 days of a nice relaxing vacation because I keep thinking about them at the pool, during meals and even at night. But I'm too much of a fan of "free" points to stop going....
That said, since we did end up making a developer purchase in one of these "updates," I don't feel bad about signing up "knowing I will never buy" because you never actually know... I'm actually looking forward to going to one of these soon to hear some of the new stories for myself.
I doubt we will see another MVC/Vistana timeshare resort in Mexico the foreseeable future; like 20-30 years. I am not sure the brand on the door matters though. I doubt that the underlying corporation for Westin Lagunamar has "Westin" in the name.Finally, she said that Marriott cannot build ownership resorts in Mexico because the Mexican government limits foreign ownership in a given field. MVC owns property as apposed to Marriott hotels which are franchised. She said any future Mexican resorts will therefore be Westins.

I would suspect Westin Aventuras is the same. Westin is just used for marketing, but whatever underlying system they have for the ownership doesn't include Westin.Regarding Lagunanar, IIRC you are right correct. “It’s Cancún Lagunamar Property Association.” No Westin in its name.
