You said you purchased a 3 bedroom and thought it was for every year. Many people get confused with this when they are told they can vacation every year. You probably purchased a 3 bedroom lockoff, every other year. What this means is you can either vacation in your 3 bedroom unit every other year, or you can "lock it off". You can choose to vacation in the 2 bedroom side one year and the 1 bedroom side the next year. This equals to a vacation every year. Because of this, many people think they purchased an every year unit, but that may not be the case. Yes, the presentation is supposed to last 90 minutes, but it really lasts around 2 hours. If you piss off your salesperson and he/she has nothing better to do, the salesperson may drag it out. If you seem to be really interested, the salesperson may speed you through, hoping to get the sale. If you purchase, then you have to add in the time it takes for deeding. It is unfortunate that you had problems with your unit, but that doesn't happen all the time. If you can afford the timeshare, it really is better than staying in a hotel. Learn how it works and give it a chance. It's too late to change your mind anyway. At least you didn't purchase in a bad resort that's ready to go "belly up". I reiterate, learn how it works so you can get the most out of it.
