Not necessarily, my man. I'm very familiar with the 5 days so I had time. Even if I rescind in the 5 days I know it will be a challenge because, well, it's Mexico šŸ˜œ. I'm not convinced to rescind but I'm not convinced to keep just based on all the negative. I checked the rentals on here and honestly, they're expensive. People don't realize the extra cost for all inclusive, 99% not included in any timeshare. I'm not saying it's OMG amazing deal, I mean its costing me hard earned money but what doesn't? Do people really feel like you're just going to get amazing vacations for free from timeshares? I was looking for a deal that didn't include any future spending (maintenance fees). I've read the dang contract over and over, and can't see any hidden gems for them. I guess I was hoping I would've have found more folks on here that purchased a similar deal to compare what they have found. The only one that is on here complained about booking the vacation then realizing how much the all inclusive was to add on but was still able to book? It's clear in the contract that the all inclusive is separate and I'm going in knowing that. Thanks truly for all the help. I'll make my decision by tomorrow after meeting one more time with the sales rep tonight, I haven't stopped texting him šŸ˜‚. Appreciate all of you seriously.
Timeshares allow us to dream about vacations and I understand the pull.

The salesperson has shifted what you think you now need in a vacation. Personally, we booked two Cabo Azul RCI Weeks for not a lot of money and there's no all-inclusive and RCI has a filter All Inclusive Optional or Required. Personally, the "all inclusive" is a scam to me. We can't eat nor drink $150-$300/day in Mexico, and we like to be able to go other places and not feel captive.

It is only money and its yours to spend as you like. Many of us would pass on this, but best of luck with whatever you decide.

PS- For larger groups, there's always vacation home rentals when you want them.

I actually feel the same about the all inclusive. It's like a convenience, but noticed this especially with cruises and their drink packages. In fact we're switching hotels today for 3 nights to an optional all inclusive, and we're going to just venture out. Thanks again for all the advice!

So what was the decision, re: rescission? No problem either way. In a poll in the last couple of years, just about half of TUGgers bought their first (and some subsequent) timeshares from the developer, and are happy with the travel opportunities and memories TS ownership has afforded them.

Thanks for joining TUG and for getting the reviews and last minute offerings and being able to see TUGbbs without ads.

btw, we feel about the same as you re: all inclusive. That's the kiss of death to get me to book a certain resort. We're just not interested.
