Attending a timeshare presentation in Cancun is pretty safe and you are not likely to be involved in a timeshare scam as long as you follow some pretty simple guidelines.

Firstly, only agree to attend a presentation when you are invited by an authorized promoter. If you are approached at Cancun airport or in the resort itself, then you can be sure that you are not being invited to a scam. When invited by a timeshare promoter on the street or in another public area, just be sure that they have authorization to be working in Cancun. They will usually have an ID badge issued by Cancun city hall.

Another way to check that the timeshare presentation is not a scam is to only attend presentations in Cancun that take place in the resort facilities where you will be buying. If the presentation is promoting a pre-sale timeshare resort in Cancun, research the company on line to see if they have any other resorts already built. Otherwise, avoid any brand new company who is selling unfinished timeshare units in Cancun.

What can I expect of a timeshare presentation in Cancun?

You will first be welcomed along with other potential timeshare buyers and perhaps offered refreshments or something to eat. Then you will listen to a presentation delivered by one of the senior members of the timeshare team. This conference style part of the presentation will guide you through the benefits of timeshare ownership in Cancun, introduce the history and viability of the timeshare company selling the units and generally explain why you have been invited to the presentation.

Next you will be assigned to a seller who will answer any more detailed questions and show you pictures of the units and the resort facilities. At this point you will also be shown floor plans and be talked through the different sized accommodation for sale. The seller will probable ask you a number of questions to help assess what kind of unit would be best for your needs and finances. You should be honest about your expectations and economic situation to guide the seller. Now would be a good time to say if you really have no intention of buying a timeshare in Cancun.

Regardless of whether you want to buy in Cancun, next you will be taken on a tour of the resort, guided by another person who will answer any further questions and show you all the facilities and benefits of owning a timeshare at the resort.

Once your tour has been concluded, you will return to the sales room where you will be expected to sign your timeshare contract for the size of unit you desire. Any discounts that you are offered will only be valid for that day, so be sure to think about your decision. Timeshare contracts can be very long; however, it is always advisable to read them carefully. Remember, most problems that occur with timeshare owners claiming they have been involved in a scam is because they did not read the contract carefully.
