Don't buy a timeshare. It's the worst deal they can do. (by Paulo M.):
Don't buy a timeshare. It's the worst deal they can do. I own two timeshares: one in the USVI (1BD) and another one in Orlando, Florida (2BD). In 2003 I bought the USVI Westin timeshare for 40,000$ and 20,000$ for Sheraton Vistana Villages in Orlando timeshare. Now they want me to pay 1,800$ and 2,900$ maintenance fees for Orlando and USVI Westin, respectively. Booking offers you the same units for a much cheaper price. We are being deceived and stolen from. I just want to sell this timeshare that unfortunately has downgraded to less than half of its price. The only way out is to sell it back to Vistana but they only accept it back with the maintenance fees all paid. They are playing with our investment. Financial terrorism. Scam companies
