Re: Vida Vacations & Grand Mayan lies (by Lance C.):

Sorry to hear about your bad experience buying a timeshare (actually, a Right-to-use contract) at a Mexican sales presentation. Unfortunately, many people such as you have been taken in by the lies and misinformation of these sales people. The even more unfortunate part is that there is no accountability for them.

Some pieces of advice that I can offer you right now are to try to use what you purchased. The resorts are usually nice to stay at; it's just that the sales people there give the resorts a bad name.

Also, now that you've made this purchase, you are likely going to be hounded (usually via phone call) by many alleged Robin Hoods claiming to be working for and helping people who have been taken in by these timeshare sales people. They are usually just out to scam you. One legitimate avenue you can try is Profeco. Just look them up and they might be able to help you.

Also, you will likely be getting phone calls from scam artists claiming they have buyers and renters lined up around the block looking to buy your timeshare and are willing to pay you an arm and a leg for it. As I said, these are scams because they will ask you to pay some sort of upfront fee and, on top of that, they do NOT have buyers/renters waiting in the wings.
