Beware of Vallarta Gardens (2014)

[T-Dot-Traveller]

Bump - time again
- be warned / Vallarta Gardens is a real resort location / with SCAMS as the primary purpose it exists - IMO .

I must say I was skeptical at first as I never tried a Luxury vacation Villa before. I was convinced by sister in law to try it and I must say it was really incredible quality time. This place was absolutely incredible and I would say I will definitely suggest this to others who don't want to the typical hotel scene but also don't want to miss the services of a resort. It was truly the best of all worlds. The chefs were awesome as they cooked for us at our villa while we did a late afternoon pool party. We were just minutes from Puerto Vallarta but we didn’t need to have all the crowds bother us.

Yes, timeshares can be great ways to spend vacations. However, one must do a lot of research before buying one. If unsure, it's often recommended here to try renting first, then you can see whether or not owning will be right for you.

Yes TUG is a great place to do research on :

Vallarta Garden - La Cruz de Huanacaxtle Mexico
(may also list as - A Boutique PRC)

I own at three different places around Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta.

I have read reviews from others about Vallarta Gardens. I believe they are just plain complainers who weren't bowed down to, or "plants" from other "timeshare" companies. I have "vacationed" here MANY times and NEVER ran into any circumstances that are mentioned in those "reviews".

Hi William ,

The TUG member who started this thread in 2014 - had a very different sales experience at Vallarta Gardens - chose to rescind that contract - and had various complications - as describe in the thread .

Welcome to TUG .

For the most part, I don't think the majority of complainers are complaining about the actual resort. They are probably complaining about the sales tactics that got them to spend way too much money to buy. Add to that that 1) one can often rent there for less than the MFs and 2) the resale value is far lower than what was originally paid, then you can see why many people are directing their harsh criticism and complaints against the VGs.

And may Karen G - who spent many years moderating the Mexican Forum and helping those who's first post required help in how to rescind -
rest in peace.

And I hope her 16 helpful posts in this thread will continue to inform new readers.

I was the original poster and I stand by my report of my experience. Karen was a great help when I was very flustered and I hope she sees how many people she helped fas she looks back from the great beyond.
