Look before you leap

We visited in June of 2009, and were taken away by the surroundings. Loyd the salesperson gave us a wonderful tour, my wife who was born in Trinidad appreciated the the tall trees and greenery. We already owned a timeshare in Ocean City MD, and went with intentions of not buying anything..........We left as owners of a week at the resort. The pressure came after Loyd left, they sent in the closer, he showed us a bunch of numbers to try and close the deal. What we really liked was the waterpark they were in the process of building, since we have 3 young children 4,5,7. We were reluctant, but really liked the place. I was told that week 9 is red or hot or( has the highest trading value) and we wouldn't have a problem coming anytime we want just give us at least 4 weeks notice. After conferring with my significant other we signed on the dotted line. A couple days ago we decided to book our vacation, we were flexible and would take anything in the summer. Well, unfortunately since we own week 9, we could only get mid February. So no problem we figure we'll just call interval deposit our week and go to resort in summer. Well after deposit was made, interval informed us that no summer vacations were available We had to choose between the month of March and the latest the month of September, not exactly the vacation we envisioned while at the table. So we will be going this February for vacation. So buyer beware this is a great resort, but if you decide on buying make sure it's on a week you will want to vacation on. I know someone offering a really good price on week 9.
