Fairmont Rancho Banderas Time Share Fraud (by Weston D.):

5-Star Maintenance Fees for 3-Star Resort

If you don't know, Rancho Banderas is no longer a 5-Star resort. This past summer, I vacationed at Rancho Banderas, Puerto Vallarta. As a time share owner since 2004, I have been vacationing at the resort every year. The suites at the resort have undergone the least of changes, or more precisely, upkeep. The furnishings are the very same since I first vacationing there in 2004. Now, they are worn as evidenced by the faded fabric on the seating areas, chipped paint legs on the furniture, the constant loud noise emitting from the A/C, the drapes with tears on them, and don't try to use the gym. - The only treadmill has a permanent "Out of Order" sign. The free weights have rust on the ends with assorted chips. Admittedly, the locks on the doors of the suites have been upgraded. - That is the only item that is evident for the exorbitant maintenance fees assessed. I pay over $1400 in maintenance fees for 960 points. The result of such fees is the continued deterioration of the once 5-Star Rancho Banderas where the suites are no better than your 3-Star hotel in town!
