I’ve been offered a lot of timeshare packages before but it was just too expensive for us. So what we did is convince my mother-in-law to look at some of the resale timeshare properties in Tagaytay. I’m sure she’d be tempted if she sees how cheap and nice they are. I remember how she wanted to purchase a house near Tagaytay before but decided against it since she needs to go to Makati everyday. The daily travel might be too tiring for her, especially now that she rarely gets home before 12MN.
The solution really is to just get a joint ownership at some hotel or a high end bed and breakfast. Or better yet – a club membership in Tagaytay Highlands. Now that would be awesome! It’s the perfect getaway for families because there’s always something for everyone. It has a spa, gym, badminton, bowling, outdoor pools, children’s play area, cinema, fishing pier, petting zoo, pony trail, etc. The price is astronomically high though. Even if she can afford it, I doubt if she’d get one when she can use that same amount as a down payment for a nice house already.

31|Mar|2009 2I highly advise against buying a timeshare. When you buy a timeshare, essentially what you are buying is a contract that lasts forever. The upfront cost is nothing compared to the maintenance fees you will pay yearly from now on. Maintenance fees rise on average 8% per year. Since the timeshare is deeded it lasts not only for your lifetime, but also for the life of your children as it can be inherited. They are almost impossible to sell once you have one too. Do a bit of research. Often you can get the exact same vacation experience for about the same price you’d pay in maintenance fees. Take that upfront cash you’d spend on the purchase and invest it. The interest will pay for your vacations for years to come
