Cabo San Lucas is one of many excellent travel destinations throughout Mexico. One of the properties in Cabo that serves as an annual destination for countless tourists is Grand Solmar. If you are a Grand Solmar timeshare owner, you already know how beautiful the property is and how nice it is to relax on or near the stunning beaches in this part of the world.
You also know, unfortunately, that owning a timeshare can get expensive over time. If you are tired of paying for your timeshare and don’t feel like you are getting a good value for your money at this point, exiting the timeshare might be in your best interest. I’ll offer some advice on this page to help you decide how to move forward.
What is a Grand Solmar Timeshare?
To have access to the incredible beaches of Cabo San Lucas, while also having plenty of things to do away from the beach, staying at Grand Solmar is an appealing choice. There is a beautiful pool, private access to the beach, a variety of room types, and much more. It’s pretty much exactly what you picture when imagining an amazing vacation on the Mexican coast.
So, if staying at Grand Solmar is such an outstanding experience, why is this whole page about canceling your timeshare? Well, if you have landed here, you probably aren’t thrilled about the experience you are having with your timeshare for one reason or another. Maybe the costs are just too high for your budget these days. Maybe you don’t have as much time available to travel as you would like. Whatever the case, you might be feeling like you need to cancel, even if you still love the property itself.
I always like to remind people that leaving one timeshare doesn’t mean you can never travel again, or travel to your favorite destinations. There are many different places to stay in Cabo San Lucas whenever you’d like to go back for another trip. The important thing for now is that you think about how your timeshare is fitting into your life as a whole, and if it isn’t working for you at the moment, consider trying to get out and looking at your vacation options moving forward from a new perspective.
Understanding the Recission Period
Buying a timeshare is a big decision. Sometimes, in the heat of the moment when facing a persistent sales team in a timeshare presentation, people will agree to something that they later regret. This is the idea behind the recission period. It’s a period of time during which buyers have the legal right to cancel their timeshare purchase without penalty. Virtually all jurisdictions have a timeshare recission period in effect, although their duration varies from one location to the next.
If you buy a timeshare in Mexico, you have five business days to change your mind and cancel. So, while this probably doesn’t apply to most of the people who are reading this page – you might have owned your timeshare for years at this point – highlighting the recission period could help someone get out while there’s still time. If the five business days haven’t yet passed, make it a point to cancel by following the relevant procedure so you can get your money back, avoid becoming locked into a contract, and move on with your life.
The Challenge of Executing a Timeshare Sale
With most things you own, the obvious step when you no longer want to own them is to sell them. If the thing has any value at all, you can list it for sale somewhere and try to find a buyer. In fact, even if it doesn’t have any value, you could list it somewhere to give away and hope to find someone to take it off your hands.
This tactic can apply to timeshares, but it gets a little tricky. Not only do most timeshares not carry any real value, but many of them will be seen by potential buyers to actually have negative value. Since they come with an obligation to make payments on things like maintenance fees and assessments, the new owner will be accepting a liability – and that alone makes this a tough sale to make. Even if you are willing to sell your timeshare for just a single dollar, locating a buyer who will sign on the dotted line could prove to be a challenge.
But that doesn’t mean that you can’t give it a try. There is little to lose by at least listing your timeshare for sale and seeing who might be interested. If you happen to get some interest and get an offer for the timeshare, be sure to complete the sale properly and get all of the paperwork signed before moving on. You’ll want to have that paperwork to prove that you are no longer the legal owner if the developer tries to come back to you to get payment on maintenance fees or anything else. You will have moved on and the responsibilities of the timeshare deed will now be someone else’s concern.
Consider Contacting Grand Solmar Directly
It’s common for timeshare owners to get more and more frustrated as they start to feel stuck in their position without a reasonable way out. And, as the frustration mounts, you might find that you feel like the timeshare developer is the enemy in this situation – but that approach isn’t productive. Rather, consider reaching out to them directly to discuss your situation and ask about any options they might have to help.
Sometimes, timeshares will have programs available to take back a timeshare deed or otherwise help owners leave. I should note here that there is certainly no guarantee of this kind of outcome, and there is a good chance that the timeshare won’t have anything to offer you at the moment. But there is no harm in asking. In fact, there is no harm in asking a few times – if you are told no at first, continue to follow up to see if the situation changes.
The beauty of getting out of your timeshare by working with the developer is the simplicity of the process. If they have something to offer, like a deed take back program, you’ll probably just have to sign a few things and you can be on your way. That’s an easy, hassle-free way to exit, so it would be a shame to miss out on such an opportunity just because you fail to ask. Be proactive in staying in touch with the developer and you never know what might happen in the end.
Find a Great Exit Company to Be Your Partner
We’ve already been over some different options to get out of your timeshare, but it’s possible that you have tried all of these approaches and still find yourself stuck. Should that be the case, it might be time to talk to a timeshare exit company about getting some help. These are businesses that are designed with the singular purpose of getting timeshare owners out of their contracts so they can move on with life. Of course, you’ll have to pay for these services, but that investment could be more than worth it if you get the results you desire.
What should you be looking for in an exit company? It starts with experience. You want to work with a partner who has been in this business for at least a while and can prove that they have delivered results for other clients. Don’t let your case be the first time they try to get out of a timeshare contract. This job is too important to trust to an unproven partner.
The other key factor I recommend looking for in an exit company is the use of escrow services. When you agree to work with a timeshare exit company, you’ll need to agree on payment terms to retain their services. With escrow, your money can be held between you and the exit company, rather than handing it all over right from the start. This is a valuable layer of protection that you wouldn’t have otherwise, and it could help you rest a lot easier while waiting for the exit company to deliver results.
