What does that term mean? Nothing to pay when you get there? That’s mainly the case, but you do need to check what it includes before you go.

Let’s start with the weather which is always an important consideration for a holiday. The sunshine and warm temperatures are free! Expect temperatures in the late 20s and 30s during the summer period in Crete. You’ll need your sunscreen to protect and your shades to look cool.

Food and drink

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are usually served in the hotel’s main restaurant. Mostly these are buffet style often with elements cooked to order. During the day snacks are often served at poolside bars and range from pizza to sandwiches. These are ‘all on the house’ – though you’ve already paid for them in your package price! You’ll probably also be treated to a Greek Night, a Cretan BBQ or other gastronomic feasts.

The most important thing to understand about buying into a timeshare is that it’s a real estate deal. So if you’re using it as an investment opportunity that just happens to give you a few weeks in desirable locales each year, you need to know that there are both pros and cons to consider. A timeshare is a special type of investment because the value is based on a number of factors that may change over time  and it can be largely subjective.

Additionally, it can be challenging to get out of a timeshare opportunity once you are in one. Unfortunately, many bad companies do this purposefully, so you simply quit. As a result, it gives the industry a bad name. But don’t worry. Reputable timeshare exit companies are willing to lend a helping hand and do the complex work for you.

So before you go ahead and sign up for that timeshare in Cabo, here are
a few things you may want to consider.

First, timeshares can be good investments. People with stressful jobs and disposable income tend
to like vacationing as a way to escape from the harsh realities of their daily lives. But they may not
necessarily want to deal with the additional stresses of booking hotels, dealing with noisy tourists in
surrounding rooms, and paying through the nose for each and every night of this torture. So you should
have a ready marketplace when you go to sell your timeshare down the road. Of course, it doesn’t hurt
that you get to enjoy your shared property in the meantime.

The other bonus is that you’ll share all the expenses of ownership. So not only will you save on hotels
in most cases, you also won’t have to foot the entire bill for upkeep of a residence. And since the other
people involved in the timeshare will also be using the residence throughout the year you should never
have to arrive to a house that is covered in cobwebs (assuming everyone does their part to keep the
place clean). This is a great selling point that is undeniable. The cost of maintaining a property from
afar can be astronomical if you’re doing it [Read more…]
