Vistana Signature Experiences review: If I could give zero stars, I would

Please, please, PLEASE - NEVER buy a timeshare from Vistana/Marriott unless you enjoy setting your money on fire and watching it burn slowly year after year.
I paid tens of thousands of dollars (yes, around $30,000!) just for the privilege of booking ONE week of vacation a year. And guess what? That was only the beginning of the financial nightmare. Add in the $2,000+ in annual maintenance and club fees, and suddenly that “dream vacation investment” starts looking more like a lifetime financial trap.
And the worst part? When you eventually realize it’s not worth it - like I did - you’ll find out you’re basically stuck forever.
Trying to sell it? Good luck. I’ve tried multiple times, through multiple channels, and all I’ve gotten is silence, scams, and frustration. There’s practically no resale market, no easy exit, and no sympathy from anyone who sold it to you in the first place.
I honestly wish someone had shaken me by the shoulders and warned me before I signed anything:
Do NOT do this! Not even if it seems like a great deal at the presentation. Not even if the salesperson promises the moon.
Once you’re in, you're in, and your bank account is doomed.
Believe me… I tried to get out. I really did. 😞😞
