There are many things that pull people back to Mexico on vacation time and time again. It’s a beautiful place with great weather, friendly people, and delicious food. Many people find that they love visiting Mexico so much that they decide to purchase a timeshare in order to have a place to return to time and again. Villa Del Arco is one of the countless timeshares available across Mexico, and while there is a lot to like about the destination, it might be the case that you no longer want to be an owner for one reason or another.
Should you find yourself in this position, I’m here to offer some advice. The page below will provide some ideas for how you might be able to cancel your timeshare ownership agreement as quickly and easily as possible.
What is a Villa Del Arco Timeshare?
For many people, Cabo San Lucas is a dream destination for a vacation. This is a particularly popular spot to visit for those who live in the western U.S., thanks to the proximity of the location and easy travel, but anyone could enjoy a trip here. Villa Del Arco is one of many excellent properties in the area and it offers easy access to everything there is to love about Cabo.
If you’ve been an owner for a while, you have probably enjoyed some outstanding trips to this location with your family or friends. Those memories can’t be taken away from you, but they don’t have to define how you move forward. You might be starting to feel like the ongoing costs of a timeshare are just too much to bear and you want to get away, so you can save up some money or start traveling to other places. Whatever your motivation may be, finding a way out can unlock your financial future.
For those who still love Cabo and everything that it offers, you don’t have to leave that in the past. There will still be plenty of places to stay in Cabo even if you move on from the timeshare. In fact, you might enjoy the opportunity to explore other spots and pick and choose where you stay based on the trip at hand. This can be a more enjoyable, less stressful way to travel and it might restore some of the love that you felt when you first traveled here.
The Rules for Getting Out Quickly
I understand that for most of the people who are reading this section of the page, this tip isn’t going to apply. It might apply for a few people, however, which is why I want to include it here and point out that there are laws in place that allow people to quickly cancel timeshare purchases if they have recently signed the papers.
In Mexico, the time period available to cancel a timeshare purchase is five business days. That doesn’t sound like a lot of time – and it isn’t – but it could be just enough if you recently returned home from a trip and decided that you actually don’t want to make the purchase you agreed to while on vacation. The law allows you five business days to change your mind and there is nothing the resort can do to stop you from canceling.
If you do have time to use this option and you want to cancel, the most important thing is to do it quickly and properly. Follow the prescribed steps for canceling the timeshare so you can be sure that it is done and you won’t find yourself later arguing with the resort about whether or not you did cancel. Of course, it’s also a good idea to keep any documentation you have of the process so you can point to that later and back up your side of the story.
Trying to Sell Your Villa Del Arco Timeshare
When you own something that you no longer want, what do you do? The obvious answer to that question is to sell it. After all, there might be people out there who would like to own what you have, so making a deal with another party is a natural fit. This is the path that many people try to take with regard to getting rid of their timeshare, and it’s a worthwhile endeavor – as long as you have realistic expectations.
Here’s the thing about selling a timeshare that you might not know – very few people are out there trying to buy them on the open market. Despite what you might have been told in a sales presentation, these are not good investments and there is not a strong third-party market to purchase them from existing owners. So, if you do list your timeshare for sale and seek out a buyer to get you away from your contract, know that it could take a while and you probably won’t be offered very much money in the end.
What should you be willing to sell your timeshare for? You could go down to as low as a single dollar and still find it worth your while to make the sale. After all, what you are probably hoping for is to stop paying maintenance fees and assessments as soon as possible. Even if you don’t get any meaningful money directly from the sale, just getting away from the timeshare could be the reward that you desire.
You Might Be Pleasantly Surprised If You Ask for Help
Sometimes in life, the best thing you can do is simply reach out and ask for help. It might not seem like such a strategy would be effective with regard to your timeshare situation, but it could be. Sometimes – although far from always – timeshares have options and programs available to owners who are ready to leave, but you won’t necessarily know about those options unless you ask.
To go down this road, just take a moment to make a phone call or send an email and explain the situation you are in. Don’t feel bad about telling the timeshare that you want to leave – you will be far from the first person to have told the developer that you are ready to be done. Even if they don’t have anything to offer you at the moment, they will certainly be familiar with the question and may have some advice to offer.
It’s also worth noting that just because you are told “no” once, that doesn’t mean the answer won’t change in the future. Feel free to check back in with the developer from time to time to see if anything becomes available that could help you leave the timeshare. These things change regularly and you don’t want to make the mistake of assuming that nothing will ever be available if you don’t get a good offer to leave the first time you ask.
Turning to an Experienced Exit Company
You might not be able to execute a proper exit from your timeshare without help. It’s certainly worth trying to do it without paying for help, but you might get to a point where bringing in a third party to work on this task is the right decision. For that, an experienced timeshare exit company is what you’ll need to find.
Working with an experienced timeshare exit company offers the advantage of putting professionals on your side who do this kind of work regularly. They will have plenty of tactics and strategies in mind when starting on your case and will be able to adapt their approach to the specifics of your situation. That doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to get out right away, but with a little patience and persistence, you should hopefully be free and clear of your timeshare in the near future.
My one critical piece of advice that relates to using a timeshare exit company is to find one that will use an escrow account to hold your money while they work. Some companies just want to get paid for their work right at the start, which puts you at risk. The last thing you want to do is lose more money in this process, as the whole reason you want to cancel is to save the money that you have been spending on the timeshare. Prioritize escrow as a key feature so you can enjoy a layer of protection while waiting to get results.
