In Cozumel, Mexico a timeshare property has recently turned into a no-safe zone for tourists by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The breakout was reported as a case of Legionnaires’ disease at the property as well as at another resort by the name of Wyndham Cozumel Resort and Spa which used to be known as the Reef Club Cozumel. Legionnaire’s disease is caused by bacteria that spreads from contaminated water consumption and results in a form of pneumonia.

Luckily those who were staying at the resort as well as prepaid reserved guests will receive no cancellation fees. This area has seen multiple cases of legionnaire’s disease and reports from back in ay of 2008 up to the last outbreak in October of 2009 have shown up to nine cases where the disease was diagnosed in Dutch and American guests.

Wyndham officials have released statements that they had disinfected all their water systems and received approval from the Mexican state that the resort met the country’s federal government health codes. However, this sort of concern is exactly why many timeshare owners are looking to experience alternative vacation options. So many owners are already trying to sell their timeshares due to the increased cost of ownership and other charges that make timesharing unaffordable.

If you own a timeshare and are looking for a way to get rid of it the best solution is really to use a timeshare relief service such as Transfer America to get rid of it. They will provide you with a written guarantee so that you know you will be timeshare free once and for all. Instead of risking a bad case of legionnaires’ disease this vacation why not get out and try something new for your travel plans this year?
