Overall it’s a terrible deal
So $110 usd x 12 months a year = $1800 cad per year ^ What does just this get you? How many nights per year? Or is it just access to a discount? I have a hard time believing you can get „any type“ of room?

My thing with resort memberships like this- I just find them restrictive overall. 25 years is a long time- what if you don’t want to go to Mexico/Caribbean you get sick of it? You want to go Australia? You want to go on a cruise?
Given that your in Canada and tour operators heavily market this resort I don’t see the need to „buy into one“ (aka pay them monthly). Airfare realistically is $450 on the low end to $500-$650 on average. Then you have to pay your bag fees/airport transfers/reservation fees which you mentioned is $99. With an ITC package you don’t have to worry those little extras. A week in a standard room at a palace resort in Mexico could be bad for anywhere from $1600 or so in low season – $3000+ for peak times like Christmas/NYE (all incl taxes as a package with air). Kids only pay airfare. So use that as your guide as you know when you travel/what you are willing to spend.
My whole thing https://besthookupwebsites.org/pl/freesnapmilfs-recenzja/ would be the commitment aspect of the same place every year but that’s up to you to decide.
Is this your first time at a Palace Resort? I assume you can stay at any of them with the membership. Moon Palace although a great place has a terrible horrible beach (and don’t believe they are going to „fix“ it because it’s just the way it is). I like Sun Palace & Playacar Palace best (Beach Palace is just okay IMHO). They have the new Moon Palace in jamaica which is nice but overall their Mexican Resorts are superior. Can you stay at the Hard Rocks too (all the Hard Rocks were Palace resorts once upon a time)

I personally have returned to Palace (on personal trips) several times but being able to make a choice is important (like right now with Mexico seaweed issues- we loveee Mexico but decided to go elsewhere for a short weekend Anniversary trip we have coming up)
In general, such things (timeshare-like) work for user only if you really use it constantly and constantly spend more and more money. In several years you will be tired of it. All you vacations have to be around this staff. Your interest can change, you start diving or skiing, or biking or your travel companion girlfriend become your wife with 3 kids.

Your price of $6100 is a mediocre deal. I’ve heard ranges of $3000-$9000 when I was there 2 years ago.
Here’s why: you pay the basic membership fee of $6100 + pay for 25 weeks at $1580/week for a total of $45,600 over 25 years. You’re locked into the palace resorts in the Cancun area. The rate per week 2 years ago was $1000/week. Air fare is never guaranteed to be $400 return but the sales agents like to use that number. What you pay for the membership is irrelevant to the resort because they pay 40% of it to the agent as commission.
