What are timeshare promotions?

Timeshare promotions are really a very simple concept. You get an amazing deal on a resort, in exchange you spend an hour or two on one of your days listening to a sales pitch. Ironically, on my “Facebook memories” a timeshare presentation vacation we took popped up. Here is the image:

Are timeshare promotions worth the money?

I think that value comes in the form of how much your time is worth. I’ll give you our real world example. As you can see from this image, this is what it would cost to book the same resort this year. Last year it would have been close to $3000 for our stay.

The yellow and red arrow indicates what we would pay today for the same dates. If our money and time hold value we can do some simple math and see if this is worth it. At $2500 today and lets assume two hours sitting through a presentation then we can assume if you make more than $850 an hour that the presentation might not be worth it. We paid $800 so you have to subtract that amount from the total, which made the difference $1700. Furthermore, I would imagine that even if you did make that kind of money, the savings is still worth it.

Where did we get the deal?

We got the Cancun deal from Book Vip, the image below takes you directly to the site.

It was actually very easy to make to reservation but remember, you have to book your own flight.

What was our experience?

This was our first timeshare promotion to Riviera Maya Cancun. We would most certainly do it again also! I spent most of the time enjoying the free cocktails and food but I did manage to get a photo or two. Take a look below for some images of the bedroom, bathroom and pool areas.

Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the food or multiple restaurants on the property. Just rest assured they were all top quality.

Yes, we had fun!

Would I do a Timeshare Promotion Again?

Absolutely, without a doubt YES! Out trip to Riviera Maya Cancun was amazing. Even though we ended up sacrificing around 90 minutes of our day, the money we saved was well worth it. In fact, with the money we saved we ended up jumping to a neighboring property for another three days just to check it out. Furthermore, some of the deals allow you to make trips to different destinations. You just have to check out what is available at the time. BookVip has a huge selection of Riviera Cancun timeshare promotions!

So what are you waiting for?

First, you can go to an all inclusive resort in a tropical environment.
Second, you can do it while paying one third of the price.
Third, free food and free drinks. Oh, I already mentioned that.
Fourth, you get access to shows and several amenities.
Additionally, you do this all by sacrificing just a couple of hours of your time.
Last but not least, you make great memories at beautiful properties on a budget almost anyone can afford!
