I recently purchased at the Mayan Palace in Riviera Maya. I was told during the sale that I would be going through HSI to do exchanges ($99 yearly fee, first year paid for), but was also given a free membership to SFX. I was contacted by a SFX rep last night, who told me that I would need to use SFX if I wanted to exchange beyond the Mayan Palace resorts (that HSI was limited to Mayan Palace exchanges - not consistent with my understanding of HSI). I believe there are different levels of SFX membership, I think he was pushing the highest level ($249 a year, or a $1,900 lifetime membership).
What do people typically use for exchanging Mayan Palace/Grand Mayan units (I would like to exchange beyond Mexico occasionally), and do you have any insights on HSI vs. SFX (do you think the SFX fees are worth it)? I was not expecting to ever pay anything beyond the yearly $99 HSI fee going forward (I also own a timeshare through II, I figured it was the same structure). Thanks.
