What are the best and worst timeshare companies in Mexico?

[rpennisi]

We checked into GM yesterday, declined a presentation, told we wouldn’t get an ocean view, and didn’t but got the top floor of the Tikal GM, so that was good. Whole place lost electricity for a couple of hours, 10 floors up with a knee replacement next month was daunting, but whole area got it back at 11 AM.

From above, I can see the Bliss being built (looks like 2 attached buildings) near the old entrance beyond the large white garage/office building). Would be a great location for walking off, but is sure to be walled off.

The SG looks so close, yet so far away.

The new entrance is a ridiculous long winding drive into where you have your luggage taken. The place has changed dramatically in 3 years, almost nothing is a direct short walk. This makes RM walks seem short in comparison.

However service is still great as is the weather.

Has anyone experienced non ocean front room assignments because of using a “senior certificate” week?

Not sure if this answers your question, but exchanging into MP Mazatlan 2 years ago got us a parking lot/road view room. Ocean front/view rooms went to MP owners.

You have the sunrise & mountain (view) Those are nice too .

So Bliss NV will no longer be just a sales pitch .

The Sea Garden NV has a short walk from elevator to pool - (my wife gets a new knee joint in March .) We are at the SG- NV starting Feb 9 & MP PV - Marina for President's Week .

Bring wire cutters next year -

I feel her pain.
It would take more than wire cutters Tom. Better would be a machete and a ladder.
I can’t even see the wall they put up, the vegetation is that thick.

Can you see construction of the theme park and the Cascades/Kingdom of the Sun buildings?

Only thing l saw were trucks moving dirt crossing our path as our cab was on the new entrance road. From the top floor of the GM, you cannot see the construction. Maybe folks in the newest GL towers would be able to see what is happening.

I hear many horror stories about deceptions, fraud, lies and aggressive timeshare sales tactics in Mexico. I have some stories of my own. To help each other and future timeshare buyers, can you share your experiences with both positive and negative stories of specific timeshare companies you have dealt with in Mexico? If you have bought a timeshare and later found out you have been lied to and it is past the 5 day recision period, how do you get out of the contract? Can you just stop paying? Who do you report the fraud to in Mexico? Can anyone in the USA help us?

I'm probably in a minority, but I like Royal Holiday Club. A points system, you really need to have more points than some of the packages they end up selling. The more points you have, the less MF/pt. Rome, Paris, London, NYC!

I took a few pics from the highway of the Cascades Buildings. They are very close to the highway and entrance to the resort.

I put a file called TUG as the first one in my Smugmug Gallery.

Thanks for that! Looks like they’re gonna be big. I hope it doesn’t sit there unfinished like some of the other Mayan World properties have.
