Re: Vida Vacations & Grand Mayan lies (by Joan C.):

IP, you are trying to associate Vidanta with the Jalisco Cartel - not nice! Ridiculous comment that should have been edited! Timeshares are resold, every day of the week, including through SMTN. Redweek.com knows that and is irresponsible to accept your posting. Owners, go to tugbbs,com and investigate the resale market, and read the forums. You will learn about the T/S market if you pay attention. Quality timeshares can be sold at reasonable prices, others not so much so. Timeshares are not investments for the majority, but a tiny minority have the ability to rent them, often for profit. Vida does not refer their buyers to any resellers, but a sales rep might suggest one or another, although policy restricts them.

Over the years, some of these posts have reflected the intellect of children instead of grown-ups, who imply that the resort is to blame for poor decisions made by prospective buyers who get their advice from the ill informed, and inexperienced folks. As for being compelled to stay at a sales table, don't they know how to say NO....and get up and go!
