Re: anyone been to this resort? (by Clayton A.):

Don't count on any check coming from timeshare resales arranged by Coco Sunset. We sat through the presentation in August 2011 and when it came time to close, we told the sales person we already own two timeshares and don't need anymore. Randy told us if we bought with them, he could give us a guaranteed written contract through Optimus Inventory Distribution to sell our two Hilton units within 300 days of contract signature. We bought a 30 year 2BR fractional ownership for $28,500 plus $1149 for an "event planner fee" to Optimus. It all looked very official but 300 day mark passed in June. Our contract with Coco also includes ten years which Optimus is supposed to pay $2500 to use our week for marketing for ten years. We tried to contact Optimus to find out the status of the sale at the end of June 2012. They've abandoned their web site and no longer answer the phone. My wife sent an email to Coco Sunset about Optimus and the sale they guaranteed but Coco never responded. Crusing the Internet, we've found Pablo Rodriguez and Raul Israel Anaya Ramirez linked to Optimus and several other disreputable sites. Perhaps the Coco Sunset developer is also a victim here but consumers need to be wary. There may be other avenues to seek justice but the best thing we can do now is to spread the word to save others the losses we've experienced.
