Sorry if it's the wrong forum (didn't knwo where to place the question in the first place), but I have a small question on timeshare holidays.
I was in DR last october (Casa Marina Beach, Sosua). On one occassion a timeshare holiday was offered to me. It was in the resort itself. An european guy came to me and asked if I had some spare time on my hands so he could tell me something and make a great offer. So I stayed with this guy and listened to his story.
Basicly, he was offering a timeshare holiday package. Nice hotel, book anytime you want, if you book with more people it'll be cheaper and that sort of stuff. It sounded great, but there is one thing that troubled me (actually made me decline his offer). The guy asked a deposit of 700 USD up front.
It wasn't just one guy who has been practising that in the resort. Actually it was a whole group of Europeans, Americans, etc.
My question is: How realiable is this timeshare holiday arrangement? this would be good to know if I come something like this across next time.
Thanks in advance.
