Harry,The 10%

resort tranfer fees take away from the value of the Mayans and the other excess charges that milk

the owners for even more money. If you want a better ownership a RHC or Startwood ownership just to mention 2 ownerships are far better "Investments" than the Mayans.
Reread Greags list of the greedyness

of the Mayans so you have an idea of the extra costs in getting suckered into buying a Mayan.
After staying in a newer Mayan 4 years ago in PV during a New Years week I feel that IMHO they have no soul among their many other defects and they would be among my last picks for a Mexico timeshare vacation.
The Mayans selling practices are sleazy

and are directly attribuable to the head management. The Mayans IMHO are like a dead fish, they stink from the head down and they try to screw not only new buyers but the present owners out of more money.
I would much perfer the friendlier places like the Lindo Mar which is both RCI and II.
IMHO bigger is not always better and IMHO the Mayans IMHO certainly fit that saying.
For 2007 week 4 we passed on all of the Mayans in Cacun and took the Club International De Cacun an older Royal 2 bedroom 3 floor ocean front unit.

But it is a beautiful place, I guess from the reviews and RCI. What really is the serious value?
