Something I often find myself getting asked from friends and relatives who know my expertise in the island is what the average Cuban holiday actually involves. This is a question I simultaneously love and hate answering – I love it because it gives me an opportunity to chat at length about a topic I love, but I hate it because if they’ve asked that question it means I’m going to be there for a while. You see, simply put, there is no ‘average’ Cuban holiday, and everyone goes to the island for different reasons and receives a unique experience in return. The experience holiday makers get on their Cuba holidays can be relaxed, cultural, exhausting or breathtaking – but never forgettable.

For a start there’s the accommodation – your ‘average’ Cuba holiday maker will first have to decide whether they want to stay in the lap of luxury in a five star resort, or to opt for the basic but more authentic experience of staying in a private house with a local. Whichever style accommodation you opt for, what you choose to with your days is the next point at which the idea of a stereotypical Cuba holiday shatters: You could choose to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and charming caves at the stunning Vinales Valley, enjoy the open roads and unexplored areas of the island with a hire car (the roads are virtually deserted, as evidenced by the dozens of hitch-hikers) or be that little more active with some horse-riding or diving to discover the wreckages of sunken ships!

Havana is an area I have already written articles about (and no doubt bored those who have asked me to death with my desire to share my enthusiasm) but it really does deserve a mention here for the ample and varied opportunities it provides Cuba holiday makers. Culture vultures will delight in the museums, while music aficionados will be truly taken with the salsa clubs and live jazz that is hard to miss in the city. The big city life gives the capital a real energy, and with a population of around 2,000,000 it’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement of the place, which at times feels an uneasy mix between modern metropolis and 1950s throwback – part of the charm of the place is its seeming fixation of classic cars that you just don’t find (still working) anywhere else in the world! And escaping the big city life is easy – the beautiful white sands of Havana’s beach is just a 30 minute trip away from the town centre.

But a Cuba holiday isn’t just about Havana, and while it would be very easy to spend your whole holiday there and feel you’d taken in so much that you must have seen everything, the truth is that you’d be majorly missing out.

Take Varadero for example – as Cuba’s biggest beach resort with an impressive 12 mile long peninsula, this is the ideal spot for those looking to experiment with water sports or diving on their Cuba holidays. Then there’s Trinidad, which history buffs will delight in: the quant village feels virtually unchanged in 300 years and as a result is positively steeped in history. Or for more recent highlights in the island’s history, who could resist a trip to Santiago de Cuba – cradle of the Cuban revolution and nowadays a luxury spot for foreign visitors to the island?

There are hundreds of ways you could spend your Cuban holidays and I’m really only scratching the surface. Spend your whole time on one activity, or mix and match your hobbies to create a unique Cuban adventure, one thing’s for sure: There’s no such thing as a typical Cuban holiday.

Now is a much better time to find out then to discover it later when it has gotten worse. Selling it may appear to you to be a mistake because of all paperwork and the details to take care of. In this instant, you realize now that the salesperson was not straightforward with you and all that was involved.

The calls and mail from those companies to sell a resort can be overwhelming for you at that time. The main focus for them is to sell you a space. Later does not cross anyones mind. You are having a great trip and they are thinking of dollar signs and the presentation. You will act, on the spur of the moment, because you are thinking how great it all is.

Let us assume that you like to spend time at the timeshare for many years. Some time or another, the problems begin and your life changes, the timeshare is no longer a profitable thing for you. You will still have to take on the responsibilities that go along with all the problems. Deciding to sell the timeshare is such a huge endeavor. Proceed with caution into the land of the buyer beware!

Without a healthy economy and market, you will not be able to sell the timeshare. The burdon of proof is laid on your shoulders and will show you a cut in the proce to over half of what you paid for it. Listed below are some of the major things you can do to make the process run smoothly:

1. Correct Price – The famous places for timeshare values is at an auction or resale. You can work the price down and find yourself some great packages for almost nothing. If you are trying to sell a timeshare, the price needs to be correct for it. Customers want to spend as little money as possible for a resort stay. This is the main reason for the second hand sale decline.

The price of the original sale will be cut drastically when you finally close on it. Coming to a fair agreement between the buyer and seller is the best course of action for all involved. Deciding on half of it is better than nothing at all.

2. It will need the right breakdown to properly assess the timeshare. You should be intimate with all details of your property. To start, write down all the great things the timeshare has available to you as the owner.

3. The best part is more complicated because you have to decide if the timeshare is a fixed, floating, rotation, location of timeshare, how many rooms and baths, deed ownership, lease ownership, cost of maintaining it each year, and the color times of the week. These things will have a major impact on how well the sell of the timeshare will do. If amenities are unique, elite, and fashionable, you will be able to sell the timeshare very quickly and for more money.

Now that you are aware of the things that make up the timeshare, you can move in the forward direction in selling it by adding it to an advertising media. Asking a professional for help is also a good idea to help the sale along.

Once you have all the details of your property, you cannot only decide the right price for it but prior to that, you can advertise it well because you have its complete details. Getting professional advice is also very helpful in selling time-shares. Before getting yourself a business to sell l the property, find out if they are legal and if the price is right. THE PRICE IS THE KEY TO GETTING THE SALE FINALIZED QUICKLY.

Selling Is Not Happening – Rent It Out

When the sale of the timeshare is not the best thing for you to do, you can try renting it out. The buyers to come will be able to view and experience the timeshare you are trying to sell. This will be successful like the customer rental might be the think to start the buying process.

You can always give the timeshare away to a charity. I know this may be hard for you to swallow. Giving it away may be the only way for releasing yourself from the burden.Some charities that allow donations of timeshares will sell the timeshares during an auction for their causes. You can write this off your taxes. You do not have the regular fees incurred with this particular selling style.

The money from the auction will benefit the nonprofit group chosen to take the item from you.

You might think about a fair swap of timeshares. If you are the owner then you may be able to swap the condos for a change of scenery, or for a new venue all together. Whatever your niche, you will be able to find it and let us hope it is a profit for all.

Once it has been held for a few years, it may be that you are into able to keep the burden and the costs associated with it or you just are not making any money from it. This would warrant you choosing to sell the timeshare and regaining some of the money spent.

Legal advise from a lawyer specializing in this type of sale will also give you insight into the world of selling your timeshare.
