[quote=Anonymous]I though the timeshare idea was brilliant when I was in Mexico a few years ago. Going to it would give is free tickets to Xcaret. I assumed we would listen to a presentation then say No and be on our way. It was not like that at all.

We were picked up from our resort in a bus and driven almost an hour away, stopping along the way to pick up other unsuspecting tourists. Taken to a really nice resort where we had a tour one on one with a salesperson. The tour was probably a good hour. It was a family resort and we kept trying to say it probably wouldnt work for us as a gay couple because we preferred adults only vacations, We didn't want any awkward looks from kids while holding hands etc.
After they tour we were sat down in a large conference type room and the sales pitch began in ernest. First one person came over and tried to sell it, then another one, then another one. Each time they dropped the price and made is seem like we were getting an amazing deal. It was probably another hour and totally draining. We stood our ground and they seemed super pissed off.
We couldnt leave until all the people that were on our bus were ready.

So we wasted about 4-5 hours total time of our vacation to get the free tickets.

I would never do it again.[/quote]
