Grand Solmar knows that sometimes vacationers at its incredible property love the feeling of relaxation and luxury they have during their time in Cabo, that they want to purchase another timeshare week. Oftentimes, people want to save money, so they look online to see if they can get a better deal than what the official representatives at the resort have offered them. However, this is a very dangerous game that they are playing.

There are hundreds of websites on the Internet claiming to offer legitimate resales from top timeshare resorts from around the world. While it may seem that vacationers can snag a great deal on a week in an incredible room at Grand Solmar, oftentimes, this is not true. These "legitimate" resales often carry hidden fees or simply do not alert buyers to the fees that they will need to pay along with these resales. Fees include but are not limited to notary fees, transfer fees, and more that can quickly add up.

In addition, it is not usually advertised where these units are located. It is not uncommon for these Internet deals to be illegitimate in the sense that the unit vacationers think they are purchasing is not the unit they receive in reality. In addition, these old units are usually sold with a lesser version of the membership that current vacation unit owners enjoy, meaning that these Internet resales come with fewer benefits than a membership purchased directly though Grand Solmar.

For all of these reasons and more, Grand Solmar advises vacationers to never purchase a timeshare resale online. Outrageous fees, unpredictable unit location and less value are what "savvy" shoppers end up getting when they purchase a timeshare week online through a resale.
