Some of the timeshare resort packages aren't what they are supposed to be but many resorts provide an affordable way for a middle or lower income families to own a luxury vacation at a location that they consider a dream. Timeshares are only getting better and better for consumers who choose wisely and get the facts in writing before they purchase. In every aspect of life you have good and bad companies so to bash all timeshares is foolish. If they are so bad as you say then why does the industry keep growing so fast? Because of fraud? No, because consumers have demanded more and they are getting it. Maybe if you bought a timeshare resale (not buying from the timeshare resort) you would be happier with the value of your purchase compared to a new timeshare purchase at a resort. Why buy a timeshare if your not going to use it? Timeshares are meant to be used and enjoyed.
