A friend and I went to a timeshare presentation in Feb. 2005 when we were in San Pedro. They gave us a free lunch and didn't high pressure us at all (my friend already owns 2 timeshares in the USA that he uses all the time and loves) and I wasn't interested in buying a timeshare. We told them we were there for the free stuff(lunch, $50 (I think), and free use of pool and kayaks)and they told us to "enjoy". We enjoyed their pool and kayaked out to the reef to snorkle for a couple hours. It was a great afternoon.
I know lots of people that own, use and love their timeshares and others that bought them and don't even use them. That's what makes the world go round....
