Sunterra holidays

I am interested in buying Sunterra points. Does anyone have any negative or positive comments about the system and how to join as cheap as poss?

Don't do it, I heard they are a rip off, please read:

It's cheaper booking an apartment or villa direct from the owners at http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/

There are some other threads on the site if you search Sunterra.
I woud consider it if I lived within the immediate vicinity of a UK Sunterra location as you can use the leisure facilities as a Health/Gym club and then the holidays are a bonus.
I didn't find the selling high pressure but I visited an UK site, others I spoke to felt they had been persuaded to buy extra points while abroad reluctantly.

interesting point Ted, heard this comment before about timeshare, but did not realise we had a timeshare site as close as we do ( about 15-20mins)- and that in fact its a sunterra

Having just joined a Gym ( 5mins away) perhaps this would have been a better solution.

edit... Have made contact with a t/s resale firm and Sunterra themselves to try and clarify if any restrictions
