Hi folks! Today is my first ever day on the Tug board. I will be spending some time reading the FAQs but in the meantime, I'd really love some advice.
My DH and I own DVC. We have an 11 YO daughter and take her several times a year to Disney and Disney's Hilton Head Island.
DH and I are also avid scuba divers. We spend two summer weeks a year on Grand Cayman. I'm very familiar with the island as I've stayed on West Bay, 7 Mile and driven to East End ( though not stayed on East End ). While we were on island this August we actually signed papers to buy 2 weeks at Plantation Village. Another couple ( friends of ours ) had also waitlisted for either of the two weeks. Well, long story short, since arriving home, I have not been able to reach the agent via telephone or email. Since the only thing we hadn't done was send money, I'm walking. I feel like if it's this hard to give my money away, I may be setting myself up with problems. ( The other couple has also been emailing for the last 2 weeks with no reply )
Anyhoo, I'm still looking to buy something on the island. Problem is, I have no experience with any of the other timeshares ( besides knowing general location )
I've seen several ads ( including Morritts Tortuga dirt cheap ) for resales and I'm not sure of what direction to go.
Does anyone have experience with the different properties and would like to give an opinion?
I should say DH and I are pretty laid back, not terribly fancy and spend most of our time on island diving. We usually do a 2 tank AM dive and then a PM or a night dive daily. So, we've never gone for any "indulgent" accomodations as we feel we so rarely use the rooms.
Thanks for replies!
