This is an international transaction. I do recall two people that walked away from timeshare, when the now simpson bay was pelican... That resort was killing them with maintenance fees... and constant threat of shutting down... Sad that it gets to that point, but timeshare can be very risky in S.M. I once asked a lawyer for advice on something that took place with a property we owned, and he told us, he could not get involved as these are not U.S. laws... With that in mind, what can a resort do if you just walk away? Anyway, there are people that took a huge loss due to rising fees...
