When you picture the kind of place you’d like to go on vacation, you probably quickly bring up an image of something that looks a lot like Cancun. With incredible beaches and virtually endless sunshine, it’s hard to think of many things you wouldn’t like about bringing your family or friends here to have a great time.

So, why would you want to get out of a timeshare in Cancun? It’s not that the place isn’t great, it’s just that the timeshare ownership experience might not be working out quite as well as you had hoped. There are some difficulties that can come along with owning a timeshare that may cause you to want to leave. If that is the case, I’m here to help with some useful advice below.

What is a Villa Del Palmar timeshare?

As mentioned above, Villa Del Palmar is located in beautiful Cancun. There are many different amenities on the property of the resort, including multiple pools and plenty of other things to do. Between what you can do on the resort property, what is available in the city of Cancun itself, and the stunning coast, this will always be an appealing place to visit.

It’s what happens between the visits that might lead you to think twice about maintaining your Villa Del Palmar timeshare. If you are getting tired of paying the maintenance fees and assessments that come with timeshare ownership, you aren’t alone. Countless other owners have grown tired of those costs and decided that they want to leave. You might find that you simply can’t travel enough to your timeshare to make it worth what you are spending. That doesn’t mean you no longer enjoy Villa Del Palmar, it just means you don’t feel like the value is adding up in your favor.

Remember, getting rid of a timeshare doesn’t mean in any way that you can no longer visit a particular place. Sure, you wouldn’t be a Villa Del Palmar owner any longer, but you would still have the ability to travel to Cancun one trip at a time.

Getting Out Immediately – It Might Not Be Too Late

On the off chance that you have only recently made the purchase of your timeshare at Villa Del Palmar, I want to explain the idea of a recission period and how it can help you in this situation. Basically, a recission period is a timeframe during which you have the legal right to cancel the purchase that you agreed to make. If you have been having second thoughts and would prefer to move on in life without being a timeshare owner, you can get out – but only if you act fast.

In Mexico, the timeshare recission period is only five business days. So, this effectively covers people who agree to purchase a timeshare at a sales pitch and then wake up the next morning feeling like they made a mistake. If you have landed on this page because you just made a purchase at Villa Del Palmar and would like to get out of it, you can do so as long as five business days have not passed.

It’s important to note that this right is protected under Mexican law and there is nothing the resort can do about it. They can’t tell you that you waived the right, because that type of clause isn’t allowed in the contract. If you choose to cancel, and you still have time left in the recission period, you can do just that. Be sure to follow all of the necessary steps to legally cancel the purchase and keep records of the cancellation so you have proof later.

Explore a Direct Sale to Leave Your Timeshare

It might be that the first idea that comes into your head when thinking about leaving your Villa Del Palmar timeshare is simply to sell it and be done with the whole experience. And, to be sure, that’s a possibility – but it might not play out as easily as you expect. If you are imagining the process to play out like the sale of a house, or even a car, you could be in for a big surprise. Not only is it unlikely to sell a timeshare for a big sum, it could be an uphill battle just to sell it at all.

The real issue here is that your timeshare has no obvious, intrinsic value. People aren’t going to be lining up to buy it, for the same reason that you are hoping to sell it – owning a timeshare is expensive and can feel limiting in many ways. There are some plus sides, to be sure, but the good sometimes is outweighed by the bad and that reality will lead many people to think twice about making you an offer.

So, should you ignore the idea of selling your timeshare and just move on to other avenues? Not necessarily. Timeshares do get sold, and you might find that it is worth your time to at least explore what the process would look like and see if anyone might be interested in making the purchase. Note that you are very unlikely to get a meaningful sum of money for the timeshare, but that’s okay. Even if someone were to offer you a single dollar to make the purchase, that might be worth it since they are taking over the responsibilities that you currently bear as an owner. Always make sure any deal that you complete is finished legally with all of the right paperwork so no problems pop up later on.

Contact Villa Del Palmar To Ask for Help

This option is easily the most overlooked way to try and get out of a timeshare. Given the fact that you know timeshare developers don’t like to lose owners, you probably haven’t even thought about asking them directly if you can leave. While doing so isn’t guaranteed to lead to a good result, it’s a question worth asking and you might be surprised at the answer you receive.

There are a couple of potential outcomes that can work in your favor. For one thing, you might learn that the timeshare has a program going on where owners can give back their deeds and walk away. This is sometimes done so they can then turn around and resell your ownership spot to a new buyer. There won’t always be something like this available, but even if you are told no the first time, you can continue to ask periodically to see if something changes. It’s also possible that there will be a program available for owners who want to leave that involves getting help with the situation, exploring a sale, etc. These programs may or may not be of any practical use to you, but it’s always good to get as much information as you can. All it takes is making a phone call or sending an email to at least pursue some information and you can go from there to decide how you want to move forward.

Picking the Right Timeshare Exit Company

You may already be aware of the availability of timeshare exit companies as a way to work on canceling your Villa Del Palmar timeshare and move on. If you aren’t aware of these types of companies, I encourage you to at least learn more about what they offer so you can determine if one is a good fit for your needs.

The best timeshare exit companies are happy to do their work while your money is in escrow. Simply handing over your money at the start of a job to a company you’ve never worked with before is a risk I wouldn’t recommend taking. They could just take that money, do very little – or nothing – about your timeshare, and run away. Use escrow as a form of protection and you’ll be more likely to get the results you deserve in the end.

Also, it’s a good idea to spend time reading some reviews to figure out which company is most likely to deliver good results for your needs. Don’t necessarily be turned away from a given timeshare exit option just because it has one or two bad reviews – instead, look at the overall picture the reviews paint to see if a company has a reputation for getting results.
