I went on a timeshare tour 10 years ago, 3 years ago, and yesterday at PBSB. They were fine the first two times, and worth the $300 resort credit for doing the tours. But the tour this time was HORRIBLE!!! (Although the first 60 minutes was actually enjoyable seeing the MonteCristo homes and their new 4-5 bedroom luxury homes - they are gorgeous.) When I got sent to the second person, ugh, they were OBNOXIOUS. I point blank said I didn't want to purchase their $2500 "vacation plan" that offered 1 week at PBSB, plus 4 additional weeks at $49 - $499 a week, and they would give me $2000 a year. I explained I had been there for 2 hours past breakfast, did not want to purchase, and would like to leave and get my gift. The guy treated me like I was an idiot for not wanting to purchase what they were offering. I just kept repeating that I wanted to leave.
Friends of mine did the same tour (thought they got $500 in resort credit) and had no problems. I guess as a single woman maybe I looked like a sucker… All in all, of the 3 hours I spent there, only 60 minutes were horrible, but just beware if you go there that the timeshare salesmen can be truly rude.
On the other hand, the tour I did at Casa Dorada for $250 credit at a local restaurant was fine. Out in 90 minutes.
