The subject of exiting timeshares has appeared a number of times on this and other boards. The first thing usually suggested is to carefully read your original timeshare agreement. If there is no mention of any penalty or fees in that contract, you can normally walk away. Remember, your agreement is probably based upon Netherlands Antilles law. Sometimes resort management will state that you have further obligations (exit fees, penalties, etc.) or that your credit rating will be reduced, when you notify them of your intentions to terminate your timeshare. None of this is enforceable unless it is spelled out in your original agreement.
