Beware of the Timeshare!
Traveler Review By: John Thayer from Deerfield, MA
Date of Visit: February 2007
During a recent stay at this hotel, my wife and I were repeatedly hounded by hotel employees attempting to get us to purchase a timeshare. We agreed to a "twenty" minute breakfast orientation. Well, three wasted vacation hours later, and after exposure to probably the best salespeople on the planet, we emerged as owners of a timeshare. We got a "special" $10K discount to buy on-site that would not be available if we waited until we got home. We felt ok with this as we had a five business day opt-out clause in the contract. On arriving home, we got very cold feet and exercised our opt-out clause within the five days (luckily, we made our purchase at the end of our week!). One month later, we have yet to have a refund of our deposit or any acknowledgement of the dissolution of our contract - only a recent bill for the balance. E-mails to Sol Melia Vacation Club go unanswered. For the world's largest resort chain, I find this reprehensible, dishonest, and perhaps criminal. The property itself is nice, as is the beach. The food is also pretty good for all-inclusive. Our particular room was a ground floor room that was plagued by mosquitoes. The construction of these rooms is very cheap and shoddy, and on two days during which it rained very heavily, we found the floor of our bed-room had leaked due to a closed, but poorly sealed window. One of the two sliding doors separating our room from the area where the children slept would not slide, and was not fixed during our stay, despite our request.
