What is a Mexican Timeshare?
In Mexico, foreigners are restricted from owning land within 50 kilometers of the coast or 100 kilometers of an international border. Since the majority of timeshares are in beach resorts (in places such as, Los Cabos, Cancun, Cozumel, and Puerto Vallarta), this means that when you buy a timeshare in Mexico you are only purchasing a right to use the timeshare, rather than an interest in the real estate. (This is different than in the United States where there are two main types of timeshare interests -- deeded and right-to-use)
Generally, with Mexican timeshares, you will receive the right to use one or more units for a specific number of weeks, during a certain number of years. You will have to pay an initial purchase price and periodic maintenance fees, which are likely to go up each year.
Do i have the right to cancel a timeshare purchase in Mexico?
YES. If you purchase a timeshare in Mexico, U.S. laws do not apply to the transaction. So, even if your home state strictly regulates timeshare sales, those state laws do not apply to you when you purchase a timeshare in Mexico. Instead, you'll be subject to Mexican law. By law, in Mexico, you have five business days to cancel a timeshare contract after you have signed it. The sooner you act, the better.
The right to cancel cannot be waived. If you try to cancel, the timeshare salespeople may tell you that you waived this right when you signed the contract. This is not true. Because of the nature of timeshare selling, most states have enacted laws that allow timeshare buyers to cancel contracts if they act quickly. This means that if you've entered into a timeshare contract and are having second thoughts, you can cancel the contract.
If i have pass the grace period, can you still cancel my timeshare?

Why not just sell my timeshare?
Good luck with that. Timeshares on the resale market are all but worthless. If a developer told you they would "buy it back" then they lied to you. They are in the business to sell timeshares and not buying them. Resale or Rental companies charge outrageous fees to simply list your timeshare on auction sites such as eBay. Then both of you wait. They just count your money. Face it… no one else wants those rising maintenance fees and your debt either.
My resort representative wants me to come in to see what we can do, should i?
If you have spoken to your Developer or their service representative on the phone then, more often than not, you have been led into what is called an "In House" sales presentation. The guys that sold it to you work on the "Frontline". The guys who say they can fix your "problems" work in the "In House" or "VIP" sales division. They want to bring you in before you can get rid of your timeshare for good. There they will bring up all of the problems you have and inform you that you need to buy more to somehow fix them. If you want to buy more, go ahead. That’s what In House is for. If you really want to get out of your timeshare…call us or Contact Us for your Free Consultation.

What will happen to the money I already paid, Will I be able to get any money back?
