Surely you have heard about timeshares, as a way to stay at the world's most popular vacation resorts for what they like to call an affordable price.
On the surface, a timeshare might seem like a good investment with an excellent value, being that you get to share the expenses of the property with others.
However, when all the timeshare fees are paid, you will realize that you could have saved more money by planning your vacations on your own.
In this article, we'll find out what timeshare weeks are, how they work, where to get them, and how to get rid of them.
Timeshare ownership
Before going deeper into discussing what timeshare weeks are, let’s talk about timeshare ownership in general.
A timeshare is a very particular type of ownership or use rights in a certain resort, That allows you to use the unit for a specific time every year, usually for a certain number of years, usually from 5 to 50.
Timeshare prices vary depending on several factors, such as the brand of the resort, the location and the size of the unit, however, the average price of a timeshare is about $20,000 USD.
Timeshares are complicated products; therefore, they cannot be entered into lightly. Unfortunately, the timeshare industry does not have the best reputation.
That is because timeshares are generally sold during high-pressure sales presentations, and most of the promises made by the timeshare salespeople are just illusory.
Timeshare Weeks
Timeshares are regularly sold as a one-week program, which means that you purchase the unit for use during a specific week of the year.
Most of the time, when you buy a certain number of timeshare weeks, the developer still owns the resort, which means that you only purchase the right to use your unit.
How does it work?
Every year has a total of 52 weeks, of which you can choose the one that meets your vacation needs better. The following chart shows the timeshare weeks for this year:

Where Can I buy timeshare weeks?
All timeshare companies would be happy to sell you a timeshare, but we would suggest you not buy directly from the developer. The secondary market has many units available, usually at half-price or even less.
However, our biggest recommendation would be to think twice before buying a timeshare. We assure you to read and understand all and each one of the points written in the contract, and calculate the total cost of the unit to see if you will be able to use it and afford it.
The inconvenient truth about timeshares
Not all timeshares are bad, in fact, fractional ownership can be considered a good option for some people, especially for big families who enjoy revisiting the same destination every year.
Nevertheless, timeshares are not for most people. Also, there are lots of timeshare complaints about the yearly fees and how it becomes almost impossible to pay them, given that they increase every year.
How do I get rid of my timeshare weeks?
We know that getting out of a timeshare contract can be a big issue, and the bad news is that timeshares are definitely not easy to sell, mainly because the resale market has collapsed and there are few incentives for buyers.
Nevertheless, the good news is that there is another possible way to get rid of your timeshare weeks efficiently.
Timeshare cancellation is the real and most effective solution to getting rid of a timeshare. When properly canceling a timeshare, there are no further strings attached to the resort.

En mi propia experiencia nunca entendi bien eso de las semanas, sin embargo lo que si se es que no pude usar mi tiempo compartido como cuando inicialmente me habian dicho , creo que hay ciertas cosas que uno no entiende y firma el contrato sin saber, ahora estoy teniendo muchos problemas porque quiero cancelar, no puedo pagar algo que no puedo usar.
Acabo de hace poco adquirir un tiempo compartido , la vd que me explicaron de una forma muy practica de entender esto de las semanas, pero ahora que estoy ya en eso , resulta que todo lo que me dijeron no era asi , nose si yo entendi mal o de plano me estan cambiando la jugada, estoy empezando a descofiar de ellos..
Si hubiera sabido que me iba meter en un problemon con esto de los tiempos compartidos , JAAAAMAS hubiera adquirido uno , esta decision fue por mi pareja que practicament me orillo a hacernos de uno , buscabamos un buen lugar para relajarnos y pasarla bien , las primeras veces todo fue genial lo admito , pero dspues de un tiempo ya por razones laborales ya no pudimos ir con la misma frecuencia, el hotel se encargo de cobrarnos una tarifa muy elevada de mantenimiento , completamente ridicula ,les hablo del hotel mayan palace en mazatlan , sinaloa, ahora que un amigo me recomendo esta pagina estoy en proceso de la cancelacion , si alguien lee esto porfavor considere my bien antes de comprar un tiempo compartido .
Wow, so that's how they work.. thanks for sharing that, it was super helpful!
There are no honest timeshare marketing companies, all of them know that there will not resell the timeshare an owner is giving them up for sale. Honesty is no a word they know in the timeshare resale business.
Thanks! This blog was very helpful. I realize nothing is for free and if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. However, I thought about attending the seminar tomorrow evening. I think I'll be opting out on this one. Thanks again for blogging. We stand united!
Thanks for the information, very well explained for me! Sometimes i can't use my weeks so i want to know if i can rent it ?
Quería ver si me podían asesorar con la venta de una semana de tiempo compartido que tengo con Royal Holiday. La verdad ya no lo puedo seguir pagando. Gracias
im trying to rent one week, can you help me??
