Bad experience with Marriott Vacation…
Our experience with Marriott Vacation Club started when my husband received a call offering us a free trip to Orlando. We were excited to visit somewhere that we had not traveled to before, so we said yes. When we attended the sales presentation, which we were told would only last about 1½ hours, we were kept in that room for the entire day! Our 4 children were in the hotel room waiting for us, so we finally agreed to the smallest package that we were offered so that we could leave and start the vacation that we had promised to our family. Over the course of that meeting, their employees told us that we could book anywhere at any time, the unit could be rented out as an investment property, and that if we ever decided that this purchase was not for us, the company would purchase it back. These factors gave us the reassurance that this purchase was in the best interests of our family. However, we now know that booking vacations with them is an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE! There is no opportunity to rent out the unit since we cannot even use the timeshare when we want to travel AND, since they have now told us that this has zero resale value, there is no opportunity to sell it back. We thought that we were making the best decision for our children and instead have spent close to $20,000 on something that is worthless with no end in sight. Do not take any of their offers! Nothing is ever free!!
