Thanks for all the info. In my experience, if I want AI, it is not worth using my timeshare exchange. I can book through Apple or GoGo or Sunjet or any number of charter companies and get just as good a deal without exchanging a week and paying an exchange fee. Just my opinion, but I have not yet seen any real advantage to doing AI anywhere through timeshare exchanges.
Also, with all the good food options in Cancun, cheap transportation, etc., AI just doesn't make much sense to me in Cancun anyway. AI in places like Jamaica, Domincan, etc. I definitely think AI is great, just don't see the benefit of doing it through exchanging a timeshare.
Last time we stayed at the Islander, someone told me in advance that the best restaurant at any of the Royals was on your balcony. We had a ocean front balcony and ate from the takeout restaurants at several of the Royal properties several nights on our balcony. I agree with the advice I got, no better place, quiet, beautiful view, my great wife and I alone in peace looking at the ocean on the Caribbean, listening to the waves.................it really doesn't get any better. But, I digress....................
Thanks again!!!!
