We purchased (after 8 HOURS) of badgering by the timeshare salespeople only because of the supposed 'opportunities' to rent our 'extra' weeks etc...similar to others' stories.  There has been no end of challenge and difficulty trying to rent out and it's a total marketing scam.  We actually love the resort and staying there is delightful.  We gave up on ever trying to recoup the cost by rental unless we are able to send a friend for a vacation or something.  We just go to enjoy in a familiar, well-appointed environment.  Would I ever buy a timeshare again...NOT ON YOUR LIFE...but we took the plunge and are making the best of it.  Mexico is beautiful and the people are fantastic...and we have a nice resort to stay at (and as members we get good rates when we don't use one of our weeks!  If you really want a timeshare, with Cabo Villas or elsewhere, there are many GREAT deals to be had on ebay from folks who just want to unload and put the experience behind them.

Has anyone had success getting their money back?

Purchased a 2 bedroom week July 2005 from Cabo Villas for $1900. We told the timeshare people we were not interested in returning to Cabo so they over us a deal where we paid 1900 and were guaranteed that when they rented out the unit we would probably receive around 2400. We declined then they offered us an additional week for free. We told them we already had a timeshare with RCI were not happy with paying expensive maintenance fees. Then they offered for the cost of $599 to get us out of the RCI timeshare , just bank the weeks with them and we would get vacations for $99. No problems ever. We sent in our voucher for the 1 week that they were to rent out Aug 2005. I contacted them and all they said was we have not been able to rent it out, but you owe us money for yearly fees etc. For what!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gave up for awhile and just recently contact Global Vacations and Cabo Villas. Cabo Villas send us to Global Adventures and they claim they know nothing about the $1900 I have them. And why did I not contact them all these years . Just getting the run around. guess we all financed the building of this complex with nothing in return.

My wife and I were on a cruise and stopped in Cabo and went to the time share presentation.  They told us we get 1 week per year but three bonus weeks that can be rented out by a company they work with for $2800/week and all that comes to us, so it ends up paying for the timeshare and your vacations.  They said they never had a 2 bedroom unit go up for rent and not rent.  We signed, and 2 days later decided to cancel.  I sent a notice via e-mail and Cid responded saying to review the contract and he would call to discuss.  I found info online saying Mexican law states you have 5 days to cancel.  I sent a letter via certified mail and I have the proof of delivery and now cannot get a response.  Don't deal with this resort!!!!!

Cabo Villas timeshare fraud. Unable to deposit my week for exchange. During sale was given all these stories about selling weeks for profit (to companies like Expedia, etc)

I purchased a time share at Cabo Villas Beach Resort (Bay View Suites) in May of 2008 and they did not deliver what they promissed.

I just got back from Mexico Cabo San Lucas tonight and  I think I have been a victim of timeshare fraud at Cabos Villas. Can you please contact me immediately as I signed documents on Saturday and was told I have a 3 day right to rescind the contract which expires tomorrow but I have no paperwork that says I can rescind.

Cabo Villas sold us a timeshare. When we wanted to use it we were told our  timeshare could not be used until 2010 and paid over $1200.00 maintenance fees to rent a unit. Upgraded to a 2 bedroom and left check for $2500.00. we placed a stop payment because when we rwanted to rent were told nit was booked and we could rent another unit for the applicable maintenance fee. They say we have to make $2500.00 check good or turning us over to collections. WE WANT TO CANCEL.
