The Timeshare Concept - Critics contend timeshare units are often overpriced, especially in places such as Mexico and Florida where almost every resort offers this style of accommodation. Individual timeshare owners also complain about annual maintenance fee (which includes property taxes) being too high.
This, however, does not apply to all time share resorts. Some of the large and reputable companies have moved away from the mandatory maintenance fee and now offer pay-per-use maintenance fee. This removes many of the pressures of having to use your time share, or lose your money. This is a new concept that was introduced in 2007 by some of the largest companies there and continues to alleviate this often common critique of timeshares.
Unhappy customers created several websites where they listed timeshare related businesses, which in their view should not be trusted. Most of the complaints on these websites refer to the high pressure sales tactics used in the purchase process, and not to the product or concept itself. |
