I have read awful stories here at the forum about attending presentation at Vidanta RM. On my visit at GM RM last week, I have experienced one. I have attended TS presentation countless times but the presentation at RM was very aggressive one. The most annoying thing was when I said no, they sent another guy to persuade you again that the product was unbelievably attractive that I should buy. Then I said no again, another guy showed up saying the same thing. This was not my first time attending Vidanta presentation.
Before the presentation, four or us, including the presenter (Ms. E), had a breakfast. At this time, I'm sure the presenter had all the opportunity to gather information about our life. At Vidanta RM, the presentation for non-owner is at the two-story building near the Mayan Palace pool. Since we're already owner, we went to a new building dedicated for owners update, near the Beach Club. The building was just opened a few weeks ago because I could smell the new furniture and paint. Next to this building was the showroom for GL Villa and Junior Villa, GB and The Bliss. After the showroom tour, the owners update began.
Ms. E spoke so fast that I could not understand the product she was offering. But I remembered correctly that the price was 300,000 - Yes in US dollars not MX peso. I said no politely. The next offer was a new contact (not an upgrade) of GL 3 BR Spa for 98,000. When I said we're not interested, the price was lowered to 68,000. Then she offered GL 1BR loft (the two-story loft where the bedroom is upstairs). I couldn't recall the price because we weren't interested. Finally, Ms. E offered a product that can be added to our addendum for 21,000 (with 5,000 down payment and the balance 16,000 can be financed). The product is related to the new theme park. My spouse was staring at the product and maybe Ms. E saw spark of $$$ signs in his eyes. But I politely again said no. Then some else came explaining this product worth 100,000, and was offered to us for merely 21,000. Thank you so much but I said no. The problem was my spouse still showed some interests even I said no several times. Then a manager approached our table and crossed out the 5K down payment. Yes, the price is now 16,000. We never asked but they lowered the price! Give us a few minutes. I told my spouse that this product wasn't great and it was just a feature in the addendum. It wasn't an ownership upgrade. It was just an overpriced product portrayed as an upgrade. Together we said no (maybe once or twice).
Ms. E walked us out to different building to get our gift. But wait, this wasn't a gift. This was another presentation!
So this lady, at the last presentation, told us because we're special, we could get it for 6,000 in exchange of withdrawing a feature from our contract for 3 years. Wow, so 21K price is now 6K. We knew this would be the last offer so we counter offered. Unfortunately, our counter offer of 4K was denied. But we didn't need it anyway – so we left.
