Research on Time Shares!

            So the plan is to use one of the Timeshare promotional advertisements to find a place to stay in Cabo.  There are some great deals out there if you are willing to listen to a Timeshare pitch.  I thought it would provide an excellent opportunity to learn about Timeshares, see professional sales folks at work, and save some money. 

            I managed to find a deal at Villa Del Palmar and after agreeing to hear the pitch I awaited to hear from the resort to confirm my reservation.  This is where I failed the attitude test.  First they asked if I was going to see any friends down there.  They wanted their names.  I refused to tell them.  Then they wanted to know my travel plans prior to arriving at the resort.  You see Indya has a flight, and I am thinking of driving down.  So my plans are completely up in the air, or on the ground so to speak.  It became a privacy issue.  

            As it turned out, they cancelled me because I wouldn’t give up my private info.  I have subsequently made a new reservation at a different resort, leaving out the details of our travel plans.  I will give a detailed report on the experience in December

            This is what I have learned so far about Timeshares, they don’t want you to go anywhere or talk to anyone else prior to seeing their business, so they expect to pick you up at the Airport and take you directly to the resort and then first thing in the morning have you attend a 90 minute pitch.  BTY, free airport transport is only on the way into the resort.
