While it sounds drastic to say, cutting out your timeshare vacation could be hazardous to your health. According to an article that appeared on Womens-Finance.com one study shows that, “… women who vacation at least twice a year have 50 percent less chance of dying of heart disease compared with those who don’t take vacations. Likewise, men who take more-frequent vacations reduce their risk of dying of heart disease by almost 30 percent.”

The article goes on to quote Dr. Mel Borins, (author of Go Away: Just for the Health of It), an authority on the medical benefits of vacationing, a proponent of the health advantages of timesharing, and a timeshare owner himself. Dr. Borins says, “To ensure I use my vacation time, I became a timeshare owner and joined RCI’s timeshare exchange program to help create a structure for vacationing in my life. It ensures that I take at least one seven-day vacation every year.”

Dr. Borins points out that because timeshares represent a pre-paid vacation, we are more likely to take them rather than work through our vacation time. He calls timeshare vacations a ‘no surprises’ solution to vacationing, meaning that with very little preplanning, you can enjoy a relaxing and luxurious timeshare vacation, knowing before you go that the resort will meet your standards for safety and on-site amenities. Lastly, Dr. Borins points out that timeshare units essentially represent a home away from home, allowing you the features you are accustomed to, including the opportunity to prepare your own meals, avoiding restaurant foods that may not be well suited to your health and dietary needs.

These days, when everyone is cutting corners, perhaps cutting out your vacation time, is not the healthiest choice. Instead, look at the values available to you in timeshare resales and timeshare rentals so that you enjoy the health benefits of a vacation, without breaking the bank in the process.

Buy Hawaii timeshare resales or book a Hawaii timeshare rental and then shop competitively for the deals in air travel, car rentals, and dining that are bound to surface as the Hawaii tourism industry reaches out to attract more visitors.

On the Sell My Timeshare NOW HOT 100 List, Hawaii timeshares definitely dominated, (as did Marriott timeshare properties in general), and the Waiohai Beach Club timeshare is one of the reasons why.

A Magical Island to Explore During Your Waiohai Beach Club Timeshare Vacation

This small island is packed with geographic diversity offering mountains to climb, caves to explore, and beaches to wander. As the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai is alive with colorful legends and narratives to enchant you. Visit Waimea, and see the memorial to Captain Cook, the first explorer to set foot on the island. Plan to spend some time in Lihue-Kalapaki, touring the museums, viewing Wailua Falls (the waterfall shown in the opening scenes of the 1970’s TV hit, “Fantasy Island”), and visiting the Menehune (Alekoko) Fishpond.

The Menehune - which means Little Folk - were a legendary race of mysterious small people said to have great strength to accomplish amazing tasks. The famous Lihue-Kalapaki fish-breeding pond, now used as an oyster bed, has stone edging that is up to 10 feet tall and is over 30 inches thick. The stones used in its construction were transported more than 25 miles, reportedly carried fire brigade-style by the Menehune, an amazing feat for people reported to be only 2 feet tall.

Legend says that the Menehune, who only worked at night, did not allow their work time to be viewed by others. When a prince and princess climbed the mountainside to watch the building of the fishpond, the Menehune changed them into pillars of rock. Today you can view the twin stone pillars on the south side of the pond. As late as the eighteenth century, islanders were still accounting for sightings of the little folk, including King Kaumualii of Kauai who reported that 65 Menehune still lived in the Wainiha Valley on the north coast of Kauai.

Clearly there is magic on the island of Kauai. And a Marriott timeshare resale or Marriott timeshare rental offers you one of the most luxurious and affordable ways to experience it firsthand.

Last spring we started the countdown here on The Timeshare Authority for Sell My Timeshare NOW’s top 100 timeshare resales and timeshare rentals, based on the number of offers to buy or rent. Today we look at HOT 100 property, number 51, the multi-destination Palace Resorts timeshares in Cancun, Mexico.

Mexico timeshares are always in demand; they offer luxurious destinations and a climate that is pleasurable any time of the year. But the Palace Resorts timeshares adds one more element that you don’t always find at a timeshare - they are all inclusive resorts.

Mexico Timeshares Where One Price Pays it All

When you buy timeshare at a Palace Resort, you make vacation planning the simplest it can possibly be. Buy timeshare, and your vacation accommodations are covered, except for annual maintenance fees. All inclusive timeshares take the convenience one step further. You pay one price for your food, beverages, and many types of entertainment. You can almost leave your wallet at home. Your all-inclusive price covers meals, snacks, feasts, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, paddleboats, kayaks, snorkeling, banana boating, windsailing, windsurfing, and water biking.

Amenities will vary from one Palace Resort timeshare to the next, but most include beach access, swimming pools (often multiple pools on a property), activities for your children and child care, live entertainment, medical facilities, nearby shopping, restaurants and lounges. Typically, you will also find a sauna, exercise equipment, conference facilities, onsite auto rental, and tennis courts.

The Timing Is Right for Mexico Timeshares at the Palace Resorts

Considering that watching their dollars and cents is high on everyone’s priority list right now, wouldn’t it be nice to pay one price for a lifetimes of great vacation accommodations and then pay only one price for all the food and drink you wanted, with lots of entertainment options thrown in as well?

All inclusive timeshares are a unique opportunity to spend a few glorious vacation days, where you are not only getting away from your routine, but you can be on vacation from all those nagging thoughts about how much you are spending. For a change, forget about the economy and the state of the world. Head to Mexico where you can relax on the beach and eat, drink, and be merry - it’s an all inclusive timeshare!

Plans are underway to transform Slains Castle - the castle that inspired Bram Stoker to write the horror classic, Dracula - into timeshare condos.

The cliff top ruins of Slains Castle are near Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was originally built in 1597, which leads one to assume that calling the renovations extensive is an understatement, yet plans continue to move forward on this £6 million timeshare project.

Understandably, some people have raised objections to the idea of turning a structure of such historic significance into a timeshare, but supporters point out that if Slains Castle is not renovated in this way, it will continue to deteriorate, crumbling down the cliffs and into the sea.

According to Timesharing Today, the architect behind the development, Douglas Forrest said, “Work has already started on the new plans and it’s going well.” He also explained that the intention was to restore the castle to the way it was during its prime.

…Sounds like it may be a while before you can start scheduling weeks at this timeshare condo resort. Until then, you may want to vacation in Scotland timeshare resales and Wales timeshare resales. Both countries offer beautiful timeshare resales and timeshare rentals, amazing castles and ruins to explore, and who knows, perhaps even a vampire or two.

The high temperature today here in Dover NH, is somewhere around 60 degrees. Not wintertime by any means, but neither does it qualify as beach weather to most of us. Yet in Hilton Head, South Carolina, the high temperature is almost 20 degrees warmer, meaning that it is still great weather for walking on the beach, catching some sun, or building an incredible sandcastle. And a timeshare resale or timeshare rental at Marriott Timeshare’s Barony Beach Club could be a way for you to enjoy one last summer-like hurrah.

Marriott’s Barony Beach Club timeshare is a Hilton Head beachside getaway. It is also HOT 100 list property number 55 as an ‘in-demand’ timeshare resale and timeshare rental at Sell My Timeshare NOW. All of the timeshare units there are two-bedroom, two-bathroom villas, with a full kitchen, living and dining area, washer and dryer, and Jacuzzi tub in the master suite.

Any time you vacation in a Hilton Head timeshare you are surrounded by great golf courses to play, biking and jogging trails, places to kayak, as well as the Old South charm of nearby Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia.

Affordable Luxury in a Marriott’s Barony Beach Club Timeshare Resale

But with the price of gas and groceries these days, along with all the other economic uncertainties, how can most people afford vacation ownership at Marriott’s Barony Beach Club timeshares?

Simple. Buy timeshare resales. Right now, there are more than 70 timeshare resales and timeshare rentals available for you to buy or rent from the current owner, in a range of prices, with many under $10,000—that’s $10,000 for a lifetime of worry-free ownership and annual vacations at the beach.
