You need to know several things. Divi Village has 40 year contracts, so how many years are left on the contract? How many weeks of "accelerated time" are left? (That means, you can use them before their year. A new contract has 10 accelerated weeks.) Which building is your unit in, what floor, what kind of view? Is it a fixed week? Check on the maintenance fee. It is my understanding, and I own a studio that went from $455 last year to $470 this year, that for a 1 bedroom, the maintenance fee is over $600. Some of the old contracts are "non-mandatory", which means, if you don't go, you don't have to pay your maintenance fee, a very nice feature for the guest, but which was not profitable for Divi, so they discontinued it. Maintenance fee is billed yearly, about 6 months before your week, if it's fixed.
Having said that, we love Divi Village. It is quiet, spread out, the pools are generally not too busy, the beach across the street is lovely, and because you can use the palapas at Divi Divi or Tam, you can always find shade. I travel President's day week in Feb, so I need to know I'll have a place to stay that won't cost me an arm and a leg (airfare is bad enough that week). We also have two weeks in the summer, and it's nice to see the same folks year after year. Having a kitchen is great, too. We just got back two weeks ago, and I'm looking forward to Feb already.
