Thinking of buying Grand Velas resell, need advise
Hello I am a newbie. I don't have a timeshare. I am thinking of picking up a bi-annual RTU at the Grand Velas which would have 10 weeks to use through 2026. The purchase price seems dirt cheap just over a thousand $, which is about equal to the first yr maint, which we have to pay this year, at $1098. So here are my questions: I have read that the AI rate here is reduced for owners (80-90 per day I thought) and I imagine it varies by season. But just how much is it now and what time of year is it lower? The resell ad says it is $150-220 a day. I thought that is how much RCI exchangers were being charged. Is it mandatory for owners? And is it possible they charge owners more/less depending on their contract date?
I see you can rent weeks sometimes for less than this maint rate but if I can figure out how much the member AI costs (vs RCI) I can determine if it is a better deal to be a member or buy somewhere else and exchange, or just rent there. But if you rent someone's week at this resort do you get their member rate on AI? I suppose it would take a lot of research on rental ads to find out who actually was renting as an owner vs renting an exchange. Do you suppose it is rare that members actually rent their weeks?
Thanks in advance for any help!
