[Q=samt12] Does anyone else feel like they got drugged? I think buying a timeshare at the Hacienda will haunt us for the rest of our lives. Is anyone glad they purchased? Has anyone found a way around using RCI? We just used RCI to go to Kauai and are pleased with the exchange (hard to complain in Hawaii!). We are still on our 2 free years of membership with RCI. Don't know what to do when that expires. Have a hard time forking out more dough for their membership and ridiculous exchange rates, but will have a hard time facing the Hacienda again for the first time. Would really love to discover a forum of owners seeking to exchange amongst themselves! Please share any positives, insight, or loopholes.[/Q] We purchased pre-construction in April 1994. There were no buildings at the time, just a model with layouts. We also had a sick feeling after we returned home. We've been staying there almost every year since Dec 1995 and have been extremely pleased!!! They do a great job listening to the owners and making improvements each year based on feedback. We are going again in April, we can't wait!
