    Trying to get refund for my deposit for Vida Vacations Purchase on 4/1/24. I am beyond the 5-day rescind period. Need advice or suggestions.

    I attended a presentation at the Nuevo Vallarta Vidanta property (stayed at the Grand Luxxe 2 bedroom unit through an RCI exchange). After my check-in I was instructed to talk to another staff (wearing the same Vidanta clothing so I assume he is part of the company as I was TOLD by the checkin...

    Purchased a timeshare with Grupo Mayan in 2007 and am using it for the first time

    A little backstory, me and my wife purchased a time share with GM( now Vidanta Vacations) in PP in 2007 and we came to a property in Cancun this week. We have not been able to use it regularly due to the fact that life has sort of gotten in the way, and we started a family, etc. In preparation...

    Isn't this a privacy issue?

    I recently received a card in the mail from RCI Travel Packages that I needed to make a phone call the activate to get complimentary savings dollars.

    My Vidanta Story

    It was late Summer in 2007, the end of a long work day in Iraq when I decided to surf the net. I saw an incredible deal to purchase a one bedroom at the Mayan Palace for less than a single year's maintenance fee. I immediately decided to make an offer, and I was the winning bid. I don't know...

    Vidanta Sales Presentation Questions

    I have owned with Grupo Mayan and Vida Vacations for more than 10 years. All of our ownership are old contracts with 10% transfer fee and the Vacation Fair weeks included.
