Over the years! we have seen so many people hurt with timeshare. There are no protective laws regarding your purchase, and they can raise the fees as they like. In the long run! I feel its cheaper to rent than get stuck in a timeshare that may collapse. I have known people that gave there timeshare back just to get rid of it. Total loss. Old pelican comes to mind and all there troubles, and carnavasari if I spelt that right... If you do not mind being stuck in the same weeks each year fine. Would never buy on St.M. Too many horror storys. but good luck if you do. This is one purchase that really depends on luck...
