Lodging for Return Visitors

Many Puerto Vallarta visitors find themselves returning yearly to soak up the warm sun and charm of the town. If you're in this category, you should definitely investigate ways to reduce the cost of your accommodations.

Compare these actual winter hotel vs timeshare costs (as of February 2001): Columns show: hotel, rate/night, 7 nights w/17% tax, timeshare type, annual TS fee for 1 week, purchase price, realistic annual TS cost (1 week fee + purchase/10 yrs.)

Sheraton Bouganvilias room:...$140...$1147......TS 1 BR:...$303.....$3600....$663

Vellas Vallarta................room:..$ 95....$ 778... ...TS studio:..$363.....$1700....$533

Paradise Village, NV....room:..$159...$1302......TS studio...$206.....$3200....$526

NOTE: The timeshare purchase prices above come from resellers. Prices from the resorts (listed first below) are substantially higher. This makes for a huge rip-off that many tourists get pressured into buying. All prices below are for high season weeks and are for comparable units:

Bougainvilias 1BR $17,000 vs $3600 - or 5 times higher

Vellas Vallarta studio $19,350 vs $1700 - or 11 times higher!

Paradise Village studio $15,950 vs $3200 - or 5 times higher

Warning: A 3+ hour resort presentation is the worst time to buy a timeshare! Instead, put yourself in control, and check out your many options

The best way to get a timeshare - 3 steps:

:1. Choose an area and resort because it meets your needs, not because the guy you just met on the street happens to represent that resort.

2. Compare prices for a number of resorts you might consider, as you would with monthly costs for housing in various communities. There are 16 resorts listed on this page, all but one showing high season prices. All prices include the same rights for exchanges worldwide with other timeshares and other privileges at your resort, as checked by a Puerto Vallarta notary.

3. Get an unbiased, local opinion on your top lodging choices. An expert like Gustavo Arias and the professionals he works with can save you a lot of money and headaches. Their fees are charged to the sellers - so buyers have every reason to contact them for their help. They will NOT push one resort over another!
