You probably purchased points, but may have purchased floating weeks. At the beginning, Villa del Arco had to deposit at least enough points to cover a large unit for an entire year. As sales were made, Villa del Arco did not have to deposit another unit into the timeshare pool until sales equaled the value of the initial unit deposit for an entire year. All other units at Villa del Arco are at the discretion of the owner(s). They probably reserve some units for sales promotions, while other units are under contract with Expedia.com, Hotel.com, etc. Assuming you did not purchase the highest tier of membership, reserved for Christmas, New Years, and Easter Holy Week, you are in competition with other timeshare members. You might be stuck with visiting in late September or October. Your chances are 1:49 of receiving the week you want. If you purchased at the highest tier, your chances are 100% of receiving one of those 3 weeks. Most people prefer Christmas, followed by New Years. However, since these holiday weeks are bunched together in a bundle, your chances remain 1:3 of getting the week you want. Be patient and book early.

Hello,
I was also lied to about my membership and am very upset about the situation as I feel I lost $$$. My complaints are published here as well dated 8/9/11. I am wondering if there has been any updates on your case. I just sent a couple of emails to them asking my questions. (www.myuvc.com) If I don't have to pay the maintenance fee when I trade the timeshare to stay somewhere else other than Cabo, maybe I can use my memberhship. Otherwise, I am not going to go there paying three times more than what I can pay through my own booking.
I feel helpless and hopeless to get my money back. This feeling is exactly what they want you to feel so you will just give up on it. They will be punished for their wrongdoings.
