LOVE the Marriott Vacation Club PRODUCT. But the "presentations" in recent years have become less and less pleasant.
My wife and I went on our first presentation 25 years ago in Hawaii. It was so low-key and professional. While we did not "buy" that day, we walked out and vowed we would one day. ...and we did.
Things have changed. Instead of classy and feeling like you're buying into something on a whole different level than other timeshares, the sales tactics have become just like all the others. It's kind of like the difference between buying a Toyota and a Lexus. One would expect the Lexus sales associates to carry themselves on a much higher level than a Toyota sales associate. Marriott timeshare sales agents used to be the Lexus of the timeshare industry. The old way was no sleeze factor. The new way is just a better dressed used car salesman.
Again, words can not convey how we have truly enjoyed the product.
