Hi all,
Had a timeshare presentation from Hilton (Parc Soleil Orlando) yesterday. The day before was researching, and found this site, which made me back off from purchasing.
Agent was nice and friendly, and was upfront about the maintenance fees (we had gone to a different one a few years back, where the agent tried to hide the fact that there was annual costs)
Started off asking for 42k for 5000 points, when i said no, went down to 3400 for 22k and then somehow they "found" a new deal for 3500 for 11k (Deeded to a 2 bedroom at the resort). Annual Maintenance $1375.
They also mentioned that once someone is a member then they can pretty much book anywhere with RCI and get a vacation week for about $299 (i believe).
I didn't end up buying, but was wondering what peoples thoughts were.
1: Was that a good deal? (3500 points for 11k)?
Is the ability to rent weeks for $299 form RCI real? That seems to be a great perk, and can use that to book vacations for friends.
Thanks in advance and appreciate the community and the help!
