Timeshares come along with maintenance fees that increase over time even if you no longer use your timeshare unit. It also comes with special assessment fees you are obliged to pay as special circumstances arise.

Though luxurious, your timeshare unit will only be made available for you in a limited period of time. In fact, you'll only have one week per year to indulge in its luxury and before you can even get there, scheduling can take a while. Many owners book 2 years in advance and yet to no avail, they still were not able to have their timeshare whenever they want it.
