Hey,

I can't speak for this particular timeshare, but I am an owner of Marriott. The concept is great in that you pay the $11,500(for the timeshare you are looking at) and then you have a lifetime of vacations in a place you have selected. One of the main benefits of owning in a place like Aruba is the ability to trade your timeshare to other locations. If this timeshare is a part of Interval International, this is also a big bonus. Thruough this organization, you are able to trade your timeshare with thousands of other owners across the world. Everyone wants to come to Aruba, so it is easy to trade with other people. I own in Maui, so I have very good trading power. Interval also gives what are called Getaways, where you are given the ability to rent timeshares that don't get booked for deeply discounted prices. I stayed in Marriott's Shadow Ridge near Palm Springs in May for $229 for the week! This is a four star resort! I am going to Marriott Ocean Club on Friday for a week for free, because I bought the timeshare in Maui last year. Anyway, I can't speak for this particular timeshare that you are looking at, but I do believe in the timeshare concept as a whole. Hope this helps!
