Happy with Hacienda? (by Sam T.):

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.
