You're not stuck forever. Thousands of Royal Holiday owners have successfully exited — here's exactly how they did it.
Royal Holiday Club is a Mexico-based timeshare operation known for extremely aggressive sales tactics — often targeting tourists at beach resorts in Cancun, Cabo, and the Caribbean. Their contracts are structured to be as difficult to exit as possible, and they operate across international borders which adds legal complexity.
If you signed a Royal Holiday contract while on vacation in Mexico, you may have been told you could cancel easily or that the 'vacation package' was a special limited offer. Royal Holiday has an extensive complaint history with the BBB and Mexican consumer protection agencies.
The good news: the exit door exists. It just wasn't shown to you at the sales presentation. Below are your real options.
Compare your options — from fastest to most reliable:
| Exit Method | Typical Timeline | Works If | Risk Level | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rescission (Cancel within window) | Immediate | Within your state's rescission period (typically 3-10 days) | None | ✓ Yes — if eligible |
| Deed-Back to Royal Holiday | 3-12 months | Account current, no outstanding loan, company accepts | Medium | Try first — with help |
| Legal Cancellation (Attorney) | 6-18 months | Misrepresentation or fraud documented at sale | Low | ✓ Best for most owners |
| Timeshare Exit Company | 6-24 months | Company is licensed; avoid upfront-fee-only firms | Medium | Verify credentials first |
| Resale on Secondary Market | 12-36 months | Finding a buyer (rare; usually $1) | High effort / low return | Last resort |
| Stop Paying (Foreclosure) | 6-18 months | Willing to absorb credit damage | High — credit damage | Not recommended |
Not all exit companies are created equal. Here's what to look for — and our top picks for Royal Holiday owners specifically:
Avoid any company that demands large upfront fees before doing any work, guarantees results before reviewing your contract, or claims to "sell" your timeshare for you. Always verify BBB rating and ask for escrow payment options.
