There are also Mayan Palace contracts with split week addendums . These seem to have been sold In Puerto Pennasco / Rocky Point . THey allow you to split 3 days / 4 days - and have 2 long weekends . It was probably used to close quite a few sales to Arizona residents that could drive there in about 4 hours .

I was also once told by a staff member - that there were Mexican National contracts that allowed the same style usage (3/4 ) and were used by folks in Guadalajara who were within driving distance of Puerto Vallarta .

When we bought in 2006 - the ability to split a 2 bedroom into 2 weeks of usage was definitely used by sales as a feature benefit to attempt upgrade the sale from a 1 bedroom.

Yes - the Split Weeks of 3/4 days was sold in PP to AZ & CA residents when it first opened. I do not know if that is still the case. 3-4 days there is enough, there is not too much to do.

Haha. She did.
You guys are just "babies" - we got married in 1968 right after graduating from college. We bought our first timeshare in 1991 in Hawaii right around our 23rd anniversary. We sure have had some great vacations since then.

We found NV/PV in 1992 on a free II Getaway that came with the Hawaii one - that resort had just added II in addition to their RCI affiliation. NV only had 2 resorts then - Bahia del Sol and Jack Tar Village. Jack Tar is now something else and they were just starting the Paradise Village building. MP had not stated - the first building did not open until sometime in 1999.

Thanks Tom. My mistake, I was thinking one MF for transferring ownership for a 2001 MP contract, but it's 5 MFs to renew.


I am new and trying to understand Vidanta speak. Is mf the maintenance fee? We were told this week upon a purchase we would pay no maintenance and would pay a usage fee for each use instead. Thank you.

Maintenance fee is the common term; Vidanta uses the term usage fee because use is not mandatory for a typical new contract under the addenda they usually have. The older MP contracts were not set up that way and had mandatory maintenance fees annually for each registered week, plus a renovation fee every five years and a renewal fee at twenty five years, both of which were generally a multiple of the MFs.
