I did a lot of research on them for my cancun trips. They have a bunch of all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and other places. From my Miami research I know they have a hotel in south beach. They have a hotel in Times Square as well. https://www.riu.com/ Edited January 2, 2023 by Saint Greg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the Aruba one is at least. I don’t think all those cancun all-inclusives are time shares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them are, nearly every all-inclusive will have time shares, it's a huge money maker for suckers, er a "owners". 😁 All those fees aren't investments and are just a money pit. You can usually stay at any of the same places whenever you want without all the up-front and ongoing costs and worries about fractional ownership and deeded vs non-deeded ownership as most just perpetually depreciate. You can bet than any place that call sell them, will and is. There is no downside so why not? If you inquire at any of them I'm sure they will offer to get you set up and probably give you some "free" stuff just for sitting down with them. 😅 Edited January 3, 2023 by cruisingguy007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
