It’s a shame there are no decent beach resorts in America for Americans to spend their money on.

Dang. I have heard a lot of lousy stories about Time Share issues. Having one in Mexico seems like a bad idea to me. But hey, it is their choice.

And people retiring to Mexico and buying property? No way. They could take it away in an instant and you would have no recourse.

Time share and dispute are often in the same sentence

Mexico is taking hostages now.

Will demand they be traded for cartel members.

Two things I would never do. Time share and Mexico. Sorry, I don’t have any feelings for them.

Sounds like they let their mouth write a check their ass couldn’t cash. So they had a dispute with the time share company, all well and good, but, they went on facebook, bragged about it and encouraged others to do the same.

Sounds absolutely hullish.

“The dispute was said to be over 13 payments spanning from August to November 2022 that totaled a sum of $116,587.”

$116587 over months!! For a timeshare?

Something doesn’t add up.

there’s a real possibility that they did do the dastardly deed of which they are accused, posted their success at cheating others out of their due payments then tried to encourage others to join in the cheat. if what they’ve been charged with is true then here’s hoping they both get the vaca they REALLY deserve. the only thing in life I hate more than a cheat is a liberal democrat. but I repeat myself.

Panama and Ecuador. You’ll be fine at the 5-star resorts there.

Anywhere else? Nope.

Yes timeshares are pre-Internet and they are nothing but a huge scam.

‘Maintenance Fees’ rise every year, so you never actually pay it off. It was a rip-off from the get-go, sell a small piece of your property 365 times and never let it go........................

Why anyone is involved in a timeshare is beyond me. Probably 20 years ago my MIL got one for around $5,000 a year and wanted my wife and I to purchase it from her & I told her I didn’t want anything to do with it. Not sure if she just let it expire or what but there’s a reason there are so many timeshare commercials on the radio,

Destin, FL is especially terrible: disgusting sugar-white sands EVERYWHERE, and it gets into EVERYTHING, and it's so white it reflects the painful sunlight back into your eyes. The waters in the Gulf of America are GREEN, emerald GREEN! No soothing brown waters of the Atlantic there. The water is WARM - so warm you'll miss the freezing brown waters of the Atlantic ocean beaches. There's too many choices for dining and entertainment. It's so NOISY from all the military aircraft generating out of nearby Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, and Duke Field, and sometimes even from as far as Pensacola and Panama City. We're not at war, people. Let the airplanes stay in their hangars and on the ramps.

STAY AWAY!

The admin needs to let some execs from Palace Resorts know they need to drop the case immediately or they personally will be jailed in the US and denied bail until it is resolved in Mexico. And of course confiscate the passports and place a hold on them leaving the country.

Something tells me the company would see the case in Mexico entirely differently and right away if that were to happen.
