I must be on some "Suckers" mailing list, because I get these all the time.

This one seems pretty decent though - 6 days/5 nights at the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas on Maui, for $650. Plus you get a $100 voucher to spend in the restaurants/shops and a $185 Enterprise rental car voucher.

Doesn't include airfare, but seems like a good deal.

This is run by a company called Starwood, which seems legitimate.

Of course, the catch is you have to attend a 90 minute timeshare presentation.

Is it worth it? Anyone ever been to this one in particular?

My wife and I have done a couple of these timeshare presentations in Mexico, and we'd avoid those like the plague. They are very high pressure, and although I'm normally polite, they inevitably end up in a confrontation. Which I don't really mind - they ain't getting a penny from me no matter what so it's just a stupid game - but my wife doesn't like being forced to witness!

The ones in Mexico come close to holding you hostage. Being battle tested through those, I'm thinking the Westin in Hawaii will be a walk in the park.

Any experiences? Any funny timeshare presentation stories?
