We have been to Vidanta 7 times and are here currently. We use Vistana to trade our week out and also use the Interval getaways for weeks. We were here over spring break, again now, and coming back in a month.
We have been through 4 presentations. The last two times we stayed we were in the Grand Luxxe Residences (4br, 4.5 ba) in Nuevo Vallarta.
So we went to the presentation again Sunday. We were interested in Grand Bliss. They arent selling people into GB right now. Just the new Kingdom of the Sun theme park area. We did not want that. The manager, knowing we had been there a lot and turned down their last 4 offers, just sat with us. No presentation. He said he had one that another couple were upgrading out of he could sell us. $129K for 4 weeks in 2BR GB. We also currently have 2 other timeshares and our goal is not to have 3. We asked about trading those in and they could just take away the liability for us was about it. So we said no and they moved us to the next phase.
Sat with a women that was very knowledgeable. She was offering us into Grand Bliss (which she recommended since we could later upgrade into Luxxe with some equity already in place). Initially we would trade in our 2 timeshares and they would give us $49K equity for them. We pay their legal fee $1500 each to have us removed from them and we pay the $11K in taxes for 2 weeks 2BR Grand Bliss with 2 extra weeks they called something else. At the very end we were down to trading in one time share (Hilton Grand Vacation), paying 1/2 legal fee, getting $149K equity for the timeshare and paying $8000 for 10 weeks up front in 10 years and 30 weeks of the other ($299 fee only for using these weeks and eligible for Vidanta if there is availability). We were close on that one. My question to her was if we buy it and have the $149K equity can we march back over to the previous presentation and then trade it in for the Luxxe at $129K (4 weeks 2 br).
Anyway we walked away and have been talking to her via email for a few days. Seemed like a good deal and a good way to upgrade to Luxxe next month potentially.
Thoughts?
