Vidanta Royal Gran Luxxe
Hello everyone.

Here's the situation. My parents bought a timeshare with the Vidanta group a few years ago (it was the Gran Luxxe and one other I can't remember the name of) a few years ago on a trip to Mexico. They don't want to sell it, but rather rent.

And here's where it gets tricky. Either I'm dumb and I can't find any information for a Vidanta rental program, or they don't have one. My parents don't want to spend time actually managing the renting process themselves, and instead are hoping to find a legit company that will rent it for them, for a portion of the proceeds, or by paying a standard fee (they don't mind a smaller profit if it means the process is hands-free).

I've been doing some research and, as you can imagine, I found more information on how many different types of scams there are out there than on legitimate companies that would provide this service - if it even exists.

And to make matters even more complicated, we're not US citizens, but rather Brazilian residents. Even IF we sold the timeshare somehow, we'd be double-taxed. I can't find a legitimate company that would provide this service in Brazil either. I would appreciate any help that could be offered here.

Thank you all in advance for your replies! :)
 
Welcome to TUG @ManFromBrazil

Easiest website to place an ad. They take 8% if it rents. Parents do not deal with tenant. Parents will only have to add the tenant's name as a guest when Koala asks them to do so. Parents will be paid after the guests checks in.

The guest's contract is with Koala.
(I assumed Nuevo Vallata in the link below where you can see what others are asking for the units. )

Do you all plan to go back to Mexico? If not, I would think you could just walk away.
 

This is the most widely known timeshare rental website.
But you have to pay an annual fee to join, around $20 and
you have to pay a fee to place the ad. No guarantee that your ad will rent.

Here are some ads:
