Royal Holiday doesn’t have the best reputation within the timeshare resorts. Most of their sales are done under high pressure sales tactics, a high number of members at Royal Holiday feel like they have being lied and scam and most timeshare contracts are being misrepresented.
One of the most common scams at the moment of purchase is that Royal Holiday’s sales person will make you any verbal promise to get you to sign their contract, however the contract clearly states that any verbal promise made by the sales associated are invalid unless those promises are establish within the contract.
Royal Holiday promise one of the best customer service for their members, this only happens if the current member is calling to make a payment and if you have any questions or concerns about your membership the associated is more likely to tell you they will send you all the information over email, well sit thigh because this email will never arrived, The most common answer to any unhappy member at Royal Holiday is to Upgrade your membership no matter what is that you are unhappy about and you end up paying more for a membership you weren’t happy to begin with.
Booking with Royal Holiday is another issue, at the sales’ pitch, they promise you can travel anywhere at any time you want. This is very untrue, it all depend what points you buy and unfortunate they will always sell you the small point package so at the time you realize you need more points, you will need to upgrade and pay even more money to them.
Most Royal Holiday’s Sales are done outdoors or other locations that aren’t Royal Holiday’s Sales office, as a “courtesy” from them, they will let you purchase and sign their contract at the spot, “hey! You wouldn’t miss the opportunity of a lifetime, right?” So by this the sales associated will briefly explain you the contract as their convenient, probably letting out important information to you. Some sales associated opt for sending all the documents to your home, mean while you enjoy of your holidays or vacations, by the time you get home and read careful the contract you realize your purchase is not what you though It was and even worse realize your recession period is over.
Royal Holiday sales associate tells you are doing a great investment in real estate, another huge lie, timeshare is not nor an investment or real estate, you are leasing a hotel room for a period of time once a year, and therefore you do not own the hotel. It is not an investment because there is not market for resale or renting out your unit therefore no profit.

Saludos deseo informacion de como poder cancelar una membresia que adquiri con Royal Holiday debido a que en este momento no tengo trabajo y me es imposible seguir pagando.

Curt
I have been with Royal Holiday since 2004 and only used them a hand for of times because it's never available. I even stopped paying their maintenance fees and now they reported to my credit here in the US. I need help getting out of this horrible contract.
Luisa

Erin
We have been owners with Royal Holiday since 2006. Since then we have upgraded twice because we were told that more time would allow us to rent out some of our time and it would then pay for our yearly dues. We were charged a fee one year because of the damage from hurricanes in the costal area. We tried to rent out our time and found that we would need to pay $300 each year to rent it out and may not get it rented. We also tried to rent our time through another group that our sales person recomended. That cost us $650 and we did not get any of our time rented. Is it possible for us to cancel our contract with Royal Holiday?
Lynne
My husband and I were at Mexico back in January, while we were there, we got scammed in buying into Royal Holiday. We have been trying to use our "timeshare" and we haven't been getting any response. All I've been seeing online was nothing but bad things about Royal Holiday and now we would like to see if we will be able to get out of our contract. What is it that we need to do?

ESTAFADORES, MAL EDUCADOS Y FALTA DE REPETO!!!!!
Llené un cupón el restaurant "Barandarian" en ñuñoa, el Domingo 18 de Diciembre 2011.
Me llama ahora una señorita y me dice que salí "beneficiada"... con un ticket de consumo en el resturant y una estadía.
Como me tienen cansada estas estafas ya no quería oir más y resolver el tema del supuesto "premio", al decir la palabra "premio"la niña que me llamó me dijo que esto no era un premio y que si yo no sabía la diferencia entre premio y beneficio... ULTIMAAAA, después criticó que no haya leído en totalidad el maldito cupón y que haya puesto mis datos personales....
QUE PUEDO DECIR, LO PEOR Y NO TENGO DONDE RECLAMAR!!! TIENEN MIS DATOS Y MORALEJA, JAMÁS LLENEN UN CUPÓN DONDE SORTEAN COSAS, EN ESTE CASO ERA UN IPAD!!!!!!! LADRONES, ESTAFADORES Y FALTA DE RESPETO...
DONDE MÁS ME PUEDO QUEJAR!!!!

Hace 7 años mis papas fueron de vacaciones a Cancún y compararon una membresía con Royal Holiday Club, sin embargo quieren cancelar el contrato ya que las cuotas de mantenimiento han subido y la disponibilidad para los hoteles cada vez es menor y nos exigen pagar los servicios de Todo incluido para poder reservar.

QUE TAL YO TAMBIEN SOY VICTIMA DE ROYAL HOLIDAY EN RESUMEN ELLOS NOS OFRECIERON CARGAR A UNA TARJETA DE CREDITO DE AMERICAN EXPRESS QUE ELLOS MISMOS NOS TRAMITARIAN EL MONTO DEL ENGANCHE Y COMO NO PASO YA LLEVAMOS 2 MESES CON ATRASO Y ESTAN QUERIENDO QUE LLEGUEMOS A UNA SOLUCION ADMINISTRATIVA PERO VEO QUE EL NEGOCIO DE ELLOS ES ESTAFAR Y BUENO YA ME HICE A LA IDEA DE QUE NO VERE EL DINERO QUE DI COMO APARTADO PERO NOSOTROS LO QUE QUEREMOS ES QUITARNOS ESTA EMPRESA DE ENCIMA. NOS PARECE UN ABUSO TODO LO QUE LE HACEN A LAS PERSONAS.

YO TAMBIEN SOY PARTE DE ESTE GRUPO DE DEFRAUDADOS QUE NOS OFRECIERON EN LAS PLAYAS DEL MAR CARIBE UN PARAISO POR DISFRUTAR Y A TRAVES DE ASTUTOS VENDEDORES PREPARADOS PARA NO DEJARTE IR HASTA QUE NO LES COMPRES, UTILIZAN UNA SERIE DE ARTIMAÑAS, OFRECIENDOTE TODO AUN LO QUE NO TE PUEDEN CUMPLIR, CON EL AFAN DE LLEVARSE SU COMISION, PORQUE DESPUES DE TU FIRMA YA NO LOS VUELVES A VER Y TRARTAR, YA QUE DESPUES DE ELLOS , AHORA TE ENFRESTAS CON OTRO EQUIPO DIFERENTE DE COBRADORES, QUE TAMBIEN NO LES INTERESARA TU OPINION PERSONAL YA QUE ELL0S SU PAPEL ES COBRARTE,COBRARTE Y SEGUIRTE COBRANDO, PORQUE LO QUE TE PROMETIO EL VENDEDOR ELLOS NO TE LO CUMPLEN:
MI CASO ES EL SIGUIENTE:
ME PROMETIERON ENTRE TANTAS COSAS, QUE PODIA UTILIZAR MIS CREDITOS PARA RENTARLOS Y CON EL MONTO DE LA RENTA PAGAR EL MANTENIMIENTO, PERO CUANDO LO QUIERES LLEVAR A CABO,ELLOS NO LO REALIZAN Y AHORA ME DICEN QUE TENGO QUE PAGAR EL MANATENIMIENTO PORQUE LOS CREDITOS NO SE RENTARON, DE UNA MANERA TAN SENCILLA COMO SI EL DINERO LO FABRICARAS EN TU CASA,
EL MANTENIMIENTO LO INICIE PAGANDO CON 700 DOLARES AHORA YA TENGO QUE PAGAR MAS DE 1000 DOLARES, ESTE COSTO EQUIVALE A QUE TE VAYAS DE VACACIONES CON TADA LA FAMILIA SIN NECESIDAD DE TENER UNA MENBRECIA TAN COSTOSA COMO LA QUE PAGUE.
ETC. ETC.
AHORA SOLO LO QUE QUIERO ES CANCELAR LA MEMBRESIA Y ME DEVUELVAN TODO LO QUE ME QUITARON A BASE DE MENTIRAS Y PROMESAS QUE NO CUMPLEN,
ALGUIEN ME PUEDE ASESORAR.

porfavor si alguien me puede orientar se lo agradeseria
Rodrigo
A mi tambien me estafaron vendiendo esta membrecia pero mi caso tiene una variante, por que nos trataron de convencer por todos las maneras hasta que se les ocurrio decirnos que si de plano no teniamos con que pagar, ellos nos tramitaban una tarjeta con American Express para pagar el enganche nos hicieron el contrato y nunca se autorizo la tarjeta y ahora nos vienen con la cosa de que si no pagamos se va a un juridico, yo estoy curado de espantos con esto de las demandas, pero que manera de estafar a la gente tiene estos de holiday

I have a contract with Royal Holiday since 05/2008 and I stopped making payments since 07/2010. I don't have exactly how much I have paid but it is about $5,000 but what I am most interested in is in cancel the contract and stop receiving those collection calls every day. What can I do?
Sammy
We are Brazilians and We were recently in Mexico, and We bought a travel plan (Royal Holiday Thimeshare) . Like all reports that we see on this site, we were also deceived. However, we did not pay yet. Just leave a check from a Brazilian bank as collateral. The check is completed in dollars and has no value in Brazil, because our law does not permit checks completed in currencies other than the Brazilian. Thus, I wonder if Royal Holiday Thimeshare can charge us in court, in view of the signed contract. The Group usually do this? Thank you for your attention
Alma
Tengo una membresia con Royal Holiday y la tengo de hace 3 años y me faltan 3 por pagar en dolares y viendo que sube el dolar como espuma pues nunca voy a acabarles de pagar, el mayor engaño que me hiciero fue que me iban a respetar el tipo de cambio al dia que firmara el contrato y se iba a quedar fijo para todo el credito, lo cual no fue cierto porque me cobran a como este el dolar al dia que hacen el cargo.
Ricardo

Kevin
My wife and I purchased a Timeshare from Royal Holiday in October of 2008. Long story short...we were lied to and scammed out of $13000. Do we have any recourse?
Annette
We purchased a timeshare at Grand Solmar and traded in our RH property by paying them a fee of $2,000. We were told that the RH property was immediately listed for sale with a timeshare broker and we no longer owned it. Now we are getting collection calls saying our RH contract was never paid off. When we were given our paperwork at the close of the sale, the paper we signed turning the RH property over to Grand Solmar was missing, but we didn't realize that until two months later. The salesperson we bought it from says, "Don't worry about it--it won't go on your credit report." Grand Solmar says "We don't know anything about that trade-in". We are paying Grand Solmar and want to keep that property, but the RH people are driving us crazy and we do not want that contract any more.

Steve
I purchased a seven night vacation at The Royal Cancun during a timeshare presentation for Royal Resorts Upon returning home from vacation 5 days later, I went online and discovered I was charged double the rate to stay at this resort. I immediately contacted customer service and cancelled my stay at The Royal Cancun and Contacted Visa to dispute the $4000 down payment I was charged. I was assured by Royal Resorts that my account would be cancelled, I would owe nothing and receive my down payment back. A month later I received a bill in the mail from Royal Resorts. I contacted customer service again and was assured it was only a mistake and I owed nothing, at this time they mailed a letter to me showing my account was closed and my account balance is $0. I begin to think I am finally out of this scam until a month later when Visa calls to inform me that my down payment still has not been refunded. I call customer service again and again and keep getting the run around and am told someone will call me back (which never happened). Upon my last call to customer service they finally tell me they have no plans on refunding the down payment I made.

Ayuda por favor, necesito cancelar este contrato de Royal Holiday, no necesito recuperar mi dinero pero quiero cancelar este contrato y dejar de pagar las mensualidades son muy altas y cada vez se me complica mas estar pagando, no quiero afectar mi credito ni meterme en problemas.
Martha
hola yo compre un paquete con royal holiday hace 4 años fue un paquete de 8 años de vacaciones y ni una vez lo hemos usado este paquete lo pague en un tiempo de un año, se me complica viajas y no quiero pagar manteniemientos que puedo hacer para cancelar mi contrato?
Sandra
We paid the entire fee upfront only to get the information book afterwards and realize we had been lied to over and over in the presentation. As soon as we were home from our vacation (I believe 3 days) I started to correspond with them. I have saved all of my emails and dates of phone calls. After about 1 year I gave up. We were even willing to somewhat of a loss on our money if they would cancel. It was impossible to reach people and I would be on hold for 10 mins. and the phone line would go dead. My husband did not want to pay the yearly dues this year and of course we got a notice from a collection agency. We paid. Since joining we have only used some bonus points we were given for a 3 day stay in New York City.This past winter we were going to go away and we could find a cheaper vacation on line then go through Royal Holiday.
Andrew
I signed up a timeshare contract with Royal Holiday in Mexico a few years ago. I paid $12,000 down payment but I changed my mind as I heard alot of many things about this timeshare. So i didn't pay the remaining payments but they put it onto my credit report even though I have not used any of the timeshare services. I want to get out of it and i also want it out of my credit report. Please advise if this is feasible and what do we need to do.
Ray
These scams are out there and the people behind them certainly don't care about you financially or other. There needs to be something done to prevent this from continuing with other vacationers.
Cheryl
Bought Royal Holiday timeshare in Cancun 2008. The hotels are never available the dates you want them and they said the AI was $60pppn for an armband even though you are using your points to go there. The maintenance fee has gone up each year even though the timeshare is paid in full now. I was told it was willable to any family members as it was a lifetime membership?? I feel quite depressed now after reading all these complaints, surely there is a way to get some if not all of your money back??
Mary Jane
I bought a Royal Holiday vaction 4 years ago for 10,000 and never once used it cause there is never anything available. BIG SCAM.
javier
tuve esa experiencia con maya resort en mazatlan sinaloa, yo solo les di 1000 pesos para apartar la membresia, y solo por que me insistieron como 5 horas y no me dejaban salir sin ninguna respuesta, despues de 15 dias me hablaban para pagar el resto o si no le vantarian una demanda en mi contra, hable con mi vanco y les comente todo y les pedi que bloquearan cualquier cobro de ellos, y sobre la demanda les dije que la pusieran que fueran a donde vivo e hicieran lo conrrespondiente, no paso nada, ellos no vana ir a poner la demanda por incumplimiento por que tendrian que presentar el contrato y no les conviene eso, les aconsejo a todos en esa situacion que dejen de pagar y esperen la disque demanda, ya lo perdido del dinero dejenlo asi y no pierdan mas, les aseguro que es la unica forma de slirce, ha y otra cosa si ellos tienen el cargo automatico a su tarjeta, cancelen ña tarjeta y ya si se puede
Mary Randell and Karen Kendrid-Jones
I purchased a timeshare through Royal Holidays and was promised 4 weeks free in Mexico each year. when I tried to book for my free time I was told that it would cost me a service charge of $63.00 per night per person which is no deal at all. This company used my credit card and my sisters credit card to the tune of about $800.00 in one month and could not find where the money went. when I asked for statement of account they gave me the run around. I didn't here from them for a number of months and now they are starting to harass me again wanting my credit card number. they say this is the only way they can except payment on my account. As you can see I am relunctant to give them my number because of what happened the last time. I just want out of this scam How do I do that.

We are victims of The Royal Holiday scam. We purchased it in the Bahamas but I believe the company is located in Mexico. We desperately want our money back. They blatently lied to us. We were very interested in the all inclusive program as they said it costs 20 dollars a day with them. In actuality they charge *0 dollars a day. We can get deals better than this easily online with better rooms and transportation to and from the airport. They also lied about it being a life time membership. We tried to get out of it after about 6 months but were unable.
Kevin
We have been scammed by Royal Holiday and lost thousands of dollars with promises that were not kept. We bought in May 2010, paid off our contract in 30 days and now want to cancel the contract and get our money back. What can we do
Jonathan
Hi , We signed a contract at Royal Holiday in mexico and cancelled the next day. They said because the contract is a dominican republic contract, even though it was signed in mexico and presented in mexico, that we have no cancellation rights is this true or it is another scam from them?

They also lied about it being a life time membership as it is only 30 years. We tried to get out of it after about 2 months but were unable. We have dumped almost 20 thousand into this scam and the money keeps coming out and we cant stop it.
Rodrigo
Soy socio activo de Royal Holiday desde 2007, no he utilizado mi membresia desde entonces, en julio del año pasado hicimos un upgrade de nuestra membresia y lamentablemente no hemos podido utilizarla, deseo cancelar mi servicio pero me indican que no es posible por que ya pasaron los 5 dias para cancelar y ahora tengo que pagar completo por una membresia de 30 años, lo cual deseo no realizar ningun pago mas. Alguine puede darme una recomendación de que debo hacer en mi situación?
Mark
We bought a membership at Royal Holiday and Our Royal Holiday ownership certificates state that the ownership is only for 30 years, however we were told it was a lifetime ownership. I asked via email to get these re-printed and shipped to reflect such. Our Sales Rep emailed back more peddling gibberish. - We were informed that this was an investment (the main, main reason for purchasing) and was told it could be easily rented or sold for double to triple the value, of course all was a lie.
Roberto y Sofia
tengo un problema con royal holiday todos nuestro pagos los hemos hecho a tiempo, desde que firmamos el contrato a los dias no estabamso muy contento pero lo dejamos pasar y seguimos hacienod nuestros pagos, nunca utilizamosla membresia, pero mi esposa y yo estamso utilizados en sacar un prestamo para comprar una casa y nos dicen que tenemos una deuda con Royal Holiday , en nuestras tarjetas aparecen todos los cobros y jamás hemos utilizado las instalaciones, estamos muy molestos e inconformes con el trato que hemos recibido por royal holiday y las mentiras que nos dijeorn sus vendedores.
Robert
I attended a timeshare presentation. I gave them a down payment in the amount of $3000. I was told it was a resale and as such, I had no right to cancel within the 5 day grace period they normally allow. They asked me to sign a waiver form in which I did foolishly. They didn't give me a copy of the waiver form with the contract they gave me. I expressed my buyers remorse with them and ask if I could receive my money back only to get a "sorry you signed the waiver form." This ruined my experience in Mexico and I have been sick to my stomach and haven't slept ever since. My biggest concern in this matter is my credit. I don't want to give them another penny yet if I don't they'll ruin my credit!
Frank Gracia
I went to a acapulco Royal Holiday vacation club to be pitched a membership we paid about $200 USD for 3 days with the all inclusive package when we were at the sales pitch I told them I would have to check them out on the web they offered me a computer so I googled "complaints ,royal holiday " and in 2 seconds I had 1,750,000 complaints so I went back to the table and informed them of this fact & they could'nt get me outta there fast enough we just got invited back this time for free I'll stick it to them 4 all of you

My family purchased a Vacation club package from Royal Holiday in Cancun and got completely scammed. They have not even returned an email or phone call for over 4 months. We are not sending them any money and their finance department calls every day. We need out of this.
Efren
We bought a time share at Royal Holiday and we are having problems with the contract.We were promised many things and that we could sell our membership back at any time.We were told several lies during the presentation that totally impacted our decision to purchase the timeshare. Now we are very regretful and we want to cancel our timeshare.
Kris
We bought a timeshare from the Royal Holiday back in Dec 2009.They promised to pay us a total of $30,000 for the 6 weeks. I can not get in contact with our salesman. I want to cancel this membership immediately and try to recover my $8,000 that I gave as a downpayment.
Ernesto
como puedo cancelar un contrato de tiempo compartido comprado en Mexico? ya intente hablando por las buenas por las malas y por medio de profeco. Tenemos 5 meses esperando a qu enos llegu nuestro dinero de un tiempo compartido que teniamos que supuestamente iban a vender y no nos han mandado nada, al principio creimos que era cuestion de tiempo , pero despues nos dimos cuenta que solo nos estaban dando largas y nunca nos iban a enviar nuestro dinero.Turistas no permitan que los engañen las reventas No es un negocio y Royal Holiday no tiene trabajadores honestos.
Donna
Royal Holiday timeshare scam be careful, they will promise to sell back weeks so you can make money while owning their timeshare.This will not happen. They will take your money and you will get nothing but headaches in return. They are dangerous people!!
Jody
I went to Royal Holiday on May 17, 2010. I bought into their scam of them stating they would sell my timeshare for $20,000 and there were also many verbal promises for additional weeks and other promotions. Right now I am still talking to Bank of America . According to Mexican law I have 5 days to cancel this purchase. So far Royal Holiday does not agree to this 5 day cancellation. Please let me know any information you have that can help me resolve this problem.
Arturo
Nunca vayana a una presentación de tiempo compartido en Royal Holiday por desgracia yo fuí y estoy muy arrepentido, si hubiera visto este sitio antes de ir a la presentación jamás habría tirado $10,000 a la basura. las tacticas que usaron conmigo , por loque veo son las que usan con la mayoría y tontamente caemos. Deberían meterlos a la carcel y no permitir que sigan espantando al turismo que visita México.
Mac
We were told that the Royal Holiday would purchase our four timeshare weeks from us. They promised to pay us a total of $25,000 for the four weeks. They had a contract with the prices they would pay for our weeks but we were not given a copy. We were also not given copies of our credit application and we were not told that we were applying for Bank of America credit cards.

SIGNED UP FOR ROYAL HOLIDAY TIME SHARE. INVESTED OVER $12,000 US DOLLARS AND NOT GETTING WHAT IS PROMISED. NOTHING, VERY UPSET. NOT PAYING ANOTHER DIME UNTIL WE GET RESULTS. RUN AWAY FROM ROYAL HOLIDAY IS A BIG SCAM!!!

We bought a timeshare from the Royal Holiday back in October 2010 and we were promised numerous things such as the maintenance fee would not increase and we could resell weeks, feel that we have been totally scammed .We have had an impossible time reaching anyone at the timeshare company to discuss our concern. Need and help getting out of our contract.

When we were there October 2008, we were misled by the rep. we wanted to cancel the contract right away but they wouldn't let us saying it's against law, we have not used the resort at all since and now found out we could have canceled it. we paid in full coz we didn't want to have a bad credit. They transfer my original Whydom time share when we signed up the contract as well. we paid a rental company which Royal Holiday recommended-they said it would be rented out in high prices (as a good investment) with no problem, but nothing ever have happened, time has passed and we have wasted our money and weeks.

We were promised that our old time share would be purchased in order to pay for this one (Royal Holiday). I can not get in contact with the person who told me this. I believe we have been had, and I would like to get rid of this contract.

I have been scammed by Royal Holiday I need to get out of my timeshare that I have not used in over 12 years but keep paying the maintenance fees. My timeshare is paid off, but it is a waste of money on maintenance fees if I don't use the property. I have the same problem than the other, they promised me rental income and nothing happened.

I have probably the same experiences from what I have read. They invited us to a presentation in order to get the Xcaret package and we accepted. During the presentation they talk to you like if is the best package in the world and showing you the points that you need and what is inclusived, etc. The reason we accepted was basically because they told us that the all inclusive packages inlcluded the hotel stay and meals. But they never told us that we will have to pay for that everythime; otherwise, I will never accept to this. Now when I am trying to make a reservations they tell me that is cheaper to buy the all you can eat package than using my 60,000 points that I bought. Why did I buy the points if I have to pay for the all inclusive? They lied to us and did not explain exactly how the package works or anything about the annual memberships. I am very dissapointed with the way they scamed us and how they painted all the scneario to make you fall for it. The monthly payments are outrageous and can not pay them, and the maintenance fee is a rip off. I contacted the finance office of Royal Holiday to downgrade the membership but they did not accept it and make me obligated to find another way get rid of tihs problem
I want to cancel this membership immediately and try to revover my $15,000 that I gave as a downpayment back in April 2010, since I will not pay a dime more to this unscrupulous people. I think we all should join forces with this lawyer to do a big action law suit and keep this companies away from the americans. Also, I will like to see the State Department issuing an official notification to all travel agencies and travelers to remain americans to stay away from these time share companies overseas and create a law to remove imposed charges by these companies.
I will just hope I can get out of this mess. I already contacted timeshare scams to see if we can start the cancellation process.

compramos una membresia en Royal Holiday hace 3 años y nos gustaria cancelarla porque, no nos esta funcionando, nunca la usamos y es mucho gasto para nosotros. Aunado a esto los vendedores nos dijeron muchas cosas las cuales no se han cumplido ni se van a cumplir porque ya nos lo pusieron muy en claro, dicen no ser responsables por las mentiras que nos hecharon sus vendedores y que debimos leer el contrato. Es un precio muy caro que estamos pagando por confiados.

I am a timeshare owner and just recently got suckered into HSI, based on the premises that they would buy our weeks and give us money. We still haven't received our welcome pack with instructions and information about what we paid for so we are pretty sure that we got scammed. We just bought it in March 2011. We would love to get out of our timeshare that we own in Mexico as the maintenance fees are ridiculous.

Almost a year fighting and we do not have our money yet.
Raul Guzman
Yo adquirí con Royal Holiday un tiempo compartido he pagado mas del 60% sin poder cancelar. Les comento también que cuando comenzó el problema de la crisis hipotecaria en EUA, nosotros cambiamos la deuda con ellos de USD a pesos. De esto lo más molesto además de no poder cancelar por tener la deuda por escrito en un pagare, es el tener que pagar el mantenimiento supuesto de las instalaciones y el ser forzados a pagar siempre los alimentos en los sitios disponibles, ya que los que no son obligatorios con all inclusive, nunca están disponibles. Tengo más de 2 años con este problema sin poder salir del circulo vicioso.

We were scammed by Ryan Garber at Royal Holiday. We cancelled within the 5 day period and he is not refunding the money. We have a signed document from him stating that the $3000.00 would be refunded. He doesn't respond to emails. We are planning to go back again and speak to him face to face again. Any suggestions would be appreciated very much.

My friend and I have owned Royal Holiday timesahre for 25 years. We have faithfully paid the initial cost and the yearly maintenance fees which continually go up. We want out of this scam. We used the package only one time.
Rosaura
Adquirí un tiempo compartido con Royal Holiday en diciembre del año pasado , no lo utilizó, está tal y como me lo vendieron por 5 años y ya me empezaron a descontar de mi tarjeta de crédito el resto que me hacia falta por un año. leí muhcos malos comentarios y no me gustaría arriesgarme me temo que soy una victima más de Royal Holiday y mas porque justamente lo que comentan los demas es lo mismo que me dijeron.

We bought a timeshare from Holiday Royal while we were in Cozamel. Right after we bought it the saleman and finiancal representive was fired. We don't have a lot of the paperwork that showed us what they were promising to do. One of the representives that we talked to said that if you read the contract we will find things that it fraud, so they would have to give it to us.
Kelly
I am having numerous troubles with Royal Holiday. In addition to the lies at the presentation, I am being charged 35% interest when the contract I signed stated the interest to be 11%. I tried to cancel our membership. Can you help?

Hi I have been scamed by Royal Holidays and need help to get back my money. I have been with royal holiday for 4 years and have been unable to go on vacation.

I agreed to purchase a timeshare from the Royal Holiday in Cancun on September 7, 2010 while on vacation in Mexico. I provided a large down payment by credit card. Now that I have arrived back home in the US, I did some research and see hundreds of complaints about the company, service, and their fraudulent practices. I looked in my folder of the paperwork provided and do not see any of the figures that were shown to me during the presentation. The figures provided in the contract that I do have are different than what was discussed verbally, are per person, and include all kinds of fees that were not discolosed at the time of the purchase. I was also coerced into signing a waiver of my 5 day cancellation right, but a copy of that document was never given to me.

compré un tiempo compartido en Royal Holiday, desgraciadamente me quede sin trabajo, les hable para ver si puedo cancelar el contrato, por supuesto dicen que no se puede, en una clausula del mismo dice que si puede cancelarse en fomra extemporanea.

Me urge cancelar mi membresìa con Royal Holliday. La compré en Abril 2007 una Plata en Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco Mexico, en Febrero 2008 la convertí en Oro Plus para transformarla en pesos. Me dijeorn muchas mentiras queno puedo encontrar en mi contrato y no quieren cumplir con ellas.
Leonor Carranza
Pague una membresia con Royal Holiday, hace un año intente cancelarlo porque no podia pagarlo , me dijeron que este contrato es incancelable y que solo se podia traspasar. En este año trate de hacer uso de mis puntos que tenia acumulados y nunca hubo cupo y solo podia utilizar en forma d todo incluido y se tendria que pagar aparte totalmente y directo con el hotel. En este mes practicamente terminaria de pagar la membresia, y empezaria pagar las cuotas anuales que segun ellos se incrementaran año con año. Aparte de que no tienen disponibilidad para los "socios" hacen llamadas amenazantes de que pague, Cuando ya habia hechos el pago correspondiente.

A Royal Holiday Member since 2008. Purchased in Cancun while being encouraged to consume endless alcholic beverages. The Manager signed an addendum, and hasn't kept there part of the bargain.

En Noviemnbre del 2008, representantes de Royal Holiday nos vendieron un timeshare a $30,000 de los cuales pagamos alrededor de $15,000. Segón Royal Holiday ellos iban a apoyarnos en la rentabilidad de los timeshares y darnos servicios. Firmamos una documentación financiera que acordaba que Royal Holiday iba a deducir de nuestra cuenta bancaria la mensualidad del acuerdo. A finales del 2009, al intentar utilizar los servicios de Royal Holiday nos indican que no se nos puede dar servicio pues por error de Royal Holiday no habia cobrado mensualidades. Tratamos de probar que esto no era cierto. en ese momento solicitamos cancelación del contrato y no hemos podido encontrar a nadie en Royal Holiday que pueda solucionarnos. A pesar de la cantidad pagada, nunca hemos podido satisfacer o tener servicios de Royal Holiday. En este momento queremos limpiar nuestro credito y que no siga apareciendo como que le debemos algo a Royal Holiday.

Timeshare scam by Royal Holiday in Cancun. we sent a legal document to Royal Holiday, a couple of days after we returned home, to cancel our membership and naturally it was ignord. I've stopped payments due December 20 and the calls have already started. The collection agency calls everyday.
Lisa
We were fooled too - the only reason we bought was because we thought the RCI membership cam with the program....We have tried to cancel through our credit cards the contract amount, but to no avail - I think we should all get together and get with the attorney general and get our money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
