We bought our first timeshare in Mexico many, many years ago when it was kind of new. I don’t feel like they lied. I have been happy with this deal for the whole time. The maintenance fee is reasonable. Over the years we would occasionally attend the “updates.” They became more and more aggressive and mendacious. They actually convinced us to buy more when we went in just intending to get the gift. In that case we exercised the rescission option, which is three days in Mexico. I think the industry has become worse and worse over time. Years later, we purchased another in Arizona. They lied their asses off, the company sold to a predatory timeshare company and they began jacking up the maintenance fees to the point it made no sense to own. We got out of it by ourselves and with the help of the state Attorney General. It’s a dirty business now, and the only industry that has a counter-industry to undo its wrongs. (But they are ripoffs too! Stay away!)
