The Villa Group (Villa Del Palmar - Mexico) BEWARE (by Byron V.):
If asked to go to their presentation, BEWARE, they do not honor what's put on paper.
- Paid $2600.00 for one "free" week in a studio ($2600 was to be credited towards purchase of a timeshare unit) - Upgrade to 1 bedroom, $100.00 - Pick-up and delivery to airport included
Booking to this resort was to start the first of December, 2010. Due to our circumstances, we were to be able to book our stay starting February 2011.
- No answer to booking request until January - Extra cost for booking before April 2011, $245.00 - Up-grade to 1 bedroom, $ 216.00 - Must find own way to and from resort, or pay their high rates - Ended up with "ground" floor room, no view (although we were at the resort at noon, well before check-in time.) - Resort wanted $100.00 per day per person for "all inclusive". Suites had full kitchens so we declined. - A 15% gratuity charge was added to the end bill even though we tipped for "everything"
This was the most expensive vacation week we ever had or ever hope to have. Wouldn't go to a "Villa Group" resort fo any reason!!
