Take this crap to the Travel board. Or better yet the Business and Investing board.

I know some folks who are ambivalent about it as opposed to actually regretting the purchase. They use their points on a regular basis and claim it is cheaper to used the points and pay the fees than to book any equivalent trip. Of course that ignores the original cost of the time share, but that cost was paid so long ago that it isn't a factor today.

Since this resort is worth less in trade value
quote:Except that you can rent them without owning for $559 a week any month you want to go instead of the month assigned.
Looks like $385. So, that would be about $780 of your week-use every other year. $110/night. Not too bad.
quote:My parents love theirs, and we all go to Oahu, Kauai, or Maui once a year and have a blast. Occasionally we trade it, but we all love Hawaii and haven't come close to getting sick of it yet as we are tropical water people. I haven't crunched the numbers, but I remember thinking it was a great deal when I initially saw a summary of the costs years ago...assuming we all continued to use it regularly going fwd and that my family and my siblings families also use it with our families going fwd. Maybe they are being taken for a ride though...

Orlando timeshare king David Siegel has lot of work on his plate, but he hasn't forgotten about one project that plagued him for a small time during the recession: Versailles, his massive 90,000-square-foot Central Florida mansion.

Selling for $3750 and you have use in odd years in late June or you can trade for another week. The next cheapest one is $5000. You can also join RCI and trade for resorts in other areas, we have used places all over CO.

There is one listed in Lake Tahoe. Is that of similar prestige as Lake Conroe?
