Get Rid of a Royal Elite Sandos Resorts Timeshare?

A Royal Elite Sandos Resorts timeshare is a form of vacation ownership in which a person purchases a unit of accommodation and has the right to use it for some time each year. It usually includes a block of weeks prescribed and reserved for the purchaser. The contract allows the owner to have the unit every year and other advantages like discounts on food, etc. They have a lot of properties located in Cancun and Playa del Carmen and are owned by RCI, the largest timeshare company in the world. Their official timeshare scheme is The Royal Elite Vacation Club.

• Most timeshare contracts last for a set number of years and are non-refundable. The purchaser pays a certain amount upfront and is responsible for the annual maintenance and other fees associated with the agreement. 
• However, timeshares can be difficult to manage, especially if the owner’s circumstances change and they cannot use the property. When this happens, reselling your property becomes more difficult because its value decreases. Also, the maintenance fees will increase with time, and there will be extra charges that the owner needs to learn about.  
• Sometimes, people may need help to use or transfer their timeshare and are considering getting rid of their timeshare agreement. It is very important to go through the contract carefully to understand the process of legally exiting the timeshare contract. Also, a good timeshare exit company can help guide you. 
• You should thoroughly research before signing a contract with Royal Elite Sandos. It is even more important to find a trustworthy timeshare exit company and understand the process of exiting the contract.
• We researched further and learned that many people are filing complaints about the Royal Elite Sandos Resorts timeshare; read for yourself and make your own decision. 

On the Complaints board, B Knapp of St. Louis, US, states that 

• My spouse and I purchased Royal Elite memberships at Sandos Play a car in Cancun, Mexico. 
• Many advantages and services were offered to us. We were told that the membership needs to be updated. We were defrauded of thousands of dollars; all we have left is grief. 
• When you sign a contract with Royal Elite, you are also signed up with RCI and Holiday Systems International (HSI), who help with currency swaps for your Royal Elite weeks that you don’t use and other travel services, including 50% off hotels, airline, and so on. 
• Everything about it is untrue. Advertisements for HSI are also untrue. When I book it myself, the airfare and accommodation rates are lower. I have yet to get my cash for a cash transaction. 
• Thus, a word of caution to all your unwary guests at any Sandos Resorts. Go to a different hotel. In Cancun, there are several options available that are free of these con artists. Avoid the vultures who will try to undercut you into purchasing a subscription. Be smarter than we were, please.

Eugenie of Dallas, US, states on the Complaintsboard, 

• The all-inclusive rate is charged per person per night, despite the salesperson’s representation that it is per couple. Instead of using their timeshare and paying the maintenance and all-inclusive fees, customers may frequently book their vacations online for less money.
• Claim that they may sell a timeshare they previously held for a profit and utilise the proceeds to pay for their new Royal Elite membership.
• Clients can rent out additional weeks from the salesperson. They contend that the timeshare is a profitable financial investment due to the rental income and that they may use the money over the first few years to pay off the membership.
• The salesperson asserts that customers can exchange their weeks for RCI points and utilise them to pay for 100% of their purchases.

Britt334 of the US states on the Complaintsboard that 

• The Royal Elite timeshare is not a good investment because it is one of the worst timeshare businesses in Mexico and needs a better reputation for timeshares.

Sherry1153 of Regina, CA, states on the Complaintsboard, 

• Quality Assurance Division? It’s funny now.

They are dishonest and will fabricate any story to close the sale. In 2011, we acquired membership for a studio apartment at Sandos Caracol. We were informed that the Royal Elite studio did not exist at that resort when we tried to reserve the room they had just shown us. Hence, we have two options: use the “better” accommodation or spend extra weeks to acquire the room we thought we were purchasing (if they can accommodate us at all). The salesperson also assured us that we could rent the weeks we didn’t utilise and would receive flight discounts.
