Re: Can't even give them one star (by Dawn J.):

I bought into Club Land'or about 15 years ago and stayed at the resort many times, with and without kids and/or with other couples and often booked two rooms at a time. I did write a positive review about it several years ago, because yes, we enjoyed our visits and the friendly staff, and while they weren't five star accommodations the place wasn't too bad........until conditions started going downhill and fees were skyrocketing. The$2200 special assessment a few years ago was the last straw,and it was obvious the money wasn't being used for maintaining the resort. I chose to hire an attorney to end this farce, since management was getting a bit threatening with me when I refused to pay until they gave an accounting of what it was being used for....refused, of course. Land'or sued me for breach of contract, but in the end, we agreed to drop everything and for the price of one year's fees and that special assessment, I'm freed of the next ten years of payments. Oops, I wasn't supposed to discuss the details, but they lied to me too ( and dropped my credit rating by filing a breach of contract, but I just have to contact the credit bureaus to show it was revoked and I'm good). It's a shame, because it's a beautiful spot with dedicated long term staff and we truly looked forward to going every other year. Best of luck to the rest of you who are trying to end your contracts, or hope for a miraculous renovation so it's a great vacation again.
