My husband and I went to Acapulco for our honey moon in May 2008 and got scam into buying a timeshare at the Mayan Palace for $10,400. Its was a big mistake. We went for a free tour and end up attending a 3 hours sale presentation. They use a lots of sale tactics to trick you into thinking that everything sounds so good. They told us that if we don't use the 2 weeks that we have, we can rent it out for $1000 each and within 5 years we will get our money back. They said its was a good investment for the long term, the value of the timeshare will go up. All are lies. Timeshare are not like real estate, they will not go up. They didn't even tell us about the cancellation policy. I recently did research online and found out that there were many people in the same situation like us. They are all been scam by the mexico timeshares. I hereby encourage that everybody stay away from Acapulco, but if you do go, stay away from the Mayan Palace Timeshare. If anybody offer you a free tour, do not take it. There are consequences behind it.

Mayan Palace sales tactics are hardcore and they will tell you anything you want to hear to get you into the contract and keep you in contract with them. It is too common for the sales representative to offer you an upgrade if you already own a timeshare with them. I recommend you to read this article from mexican timeshare solutions about the mayan palace timeshare scams and how to get out of them:
