>>> "with an asking price of $11,500"
--- Way too much for a 1 bedroom. Now if both of you play golf and this is at Prime Time might be a little OK. But you could find a 1 bedroom for half that price.
>>> "do they typically increase each year"
--- Some do some don't.
>>> "Are they paid monthly, annually?
--- Annually

>>> "What are the rules of trade?"
--- Read the paperwork. There are many different types of timeshares. Think Divi ones are owned by the Divi corporation so you are under their control/rules. There are others on the island that are member owned. Meaning the members elect a BOD and they set fees, rebuilding projects, rules, .... So no corporation looking for the best profit.
>>> How would you compare this timeshare facility to others on the island?"
--- Which Divi timeshare? From the back of my timeshare I look over at the Divi Golf one and it looks great. There are some other Divi timeshares around the same location.
>>> "Any other comments/suggestions?"
--- Might want to rent first before you buy.
Own 2 weeks at another timeshare and timeshares are not for all and there are different types. One type you own a certain unit # for a certain week. So every year you get the same view/location for the same week #. Another type you just own a timeshare week so each year you must put in a request for the week # you want. But you never know what view/location you will get. So know what type is best for you.
