thank you for the free three night vacation. I had a wonderful time. The sales presentation was interesting. I was told some things that I fact checked later. Wifi didn’t work, so I couldn’t use Internet during the talk to fact check what I was told. I was told there’s a law that prevents maintenance fees from increasing more than 1.9% per year. There may be some rules in Florida, but I couldn’t find any evidence of a nationwide law about that. I was told that there’s a law against special assessments for maintenance, but I couldn’t find evidence of a United States national law against special assessments. I was told the story of an 80-year-old woman who banked all of the points she bought for approximately $55,000 and $14,000 in maintenance fees for a nine month cruise. I started asking questions about that but no one could prove that. When I ran the numbers on some of their examples, it just didn’t make financial sense to sign up for a timeshare. I couldn’t find any examples of how I would use the points for a cruise although I would’ve liked to see if it made financial sense but no one really was able to navigate the computer system to show how those points would be used for a cruise other than paying cash for a little under $100 a night, which is a decent deal, but you may be able to find discounted cruises for similar prices online. They spoke about the consumer reports article in 2016 about how great timeshares were. However, the AI summary of that article spoke about consumer reports saying how you should buy a timeshare on the resale market. When I started looking at the numbers and analyzing the return on investment for buying my timeshare, I was not exactly encouraged to stay. I think the writing was on the wall that I was not going to sign up. I asked for a business card so I could reach out to them later. The business card did not have anyone’s name or email address. It just had a phone number. Why? Because very few people sign up for a timeshare other than on the resale market after researching it. Remember, don’t buy on the spot. Do your research and run the numbers and make sure it makes sense and look at your options for buying a timeshare on the resale market which may be cheaper. Research what they tell you in AI and fact check what they say. Attached is the result of when I fact checked what I was told in AI. Remember that AI is not always 100% accurate. I will say that absolutely every person at the resort was polite and respectful, and there were no high-pressure sales tactics. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. And I have no problems spending a little over 2 1/2 hours in a sales presentation and talking to sales people in exchange for three nights of vacation. But you should give some careful thought to why there are so many timeshare exit companies that exist. I asked that question during the presentation. I said why are there about 20 timeshare exit companies out there if this is such a great thing and everyone is happy. The sales person replied they’re probably 120 companies like that and it’s because of the old model of timeshare sales where you bought a week and that ended around the year 2000. But that doesn’t explain why in 2025 there are probably over 100 companies that still do it because the number of customers in timeshares from before 2000 probably wouldn’t support over 100 companies in that timeshare exit ecosystem. By the way on the resale market, I was told you can buy a week at the Snowbird ski resort even around Christmas for a few thousand dollars and pay $100 a night in maintenance fees, which is actually a great deal if you love skiing. So check the resale market And enjoy your free vacation.

Great week to spend in WB this week. The new buildings are really nice. Had a 2 bedroom with 2 bath in building 4000 and everything was clean, in working order and the unit was spacious and comfortable. The staff are the best (special shout out to Damien & Lamont from maintenance) however, all the employees we came into contact with were very professional and friendly. Nice indoor pool on site along with fitness and game room. Love that a lot of the little amenities are still made available as many BG resorts have been removing little things owners have become accustomed to. Now for our dislikes. Since Hilton has purchased BG, many of our benefits and resorts are being phased out. Hilton has been the main reason we are probably going to give our ownership away in a few years, diminishing benefits, extremely high maintenance fees and the constant high pressure sales is just unacceptable after 20 years of ownership. Love the resort and the old BG, but since Hilton took over very unhappy. The resort and staff 5 star, Hilton and sales department 2 stars at best.

I booked a vacation with Kees vacation rentals for Patrick Henry Square in Williamsburg, VA. My family and I tested positive for Covid and after much back and forth with one of the associates the “upper management” refused to let us either reschedule for a later date or cancel the reservation. We were charged full price for the complete stay although being unable to come because of mandatory quarantine. This was very disheartening to deal with such an unsympathetic company, and in my opinion a horrible way to run a business.
