dolfer, you are entitled for your opinion but don't clump all timeshares as a bad deal as it works for many people like myself. You inherited something that was essentially worthless to you. I bought into time sharing in St Maarten knowing what to expect and am glad I did. We used a US timeshare we had to originally trade into the Belair back in 1999 and bought preconstruction at Flamingo that same trip. Glad we did. Can't wait till it reopens in 2020 better than it was before Irma.
