Re: Royal HOliday is a scam (by Wayne C.):

Royal Holidays has always been a scam. I have worked in the timeshare industry for over 15 years in Mexico, U.S., and Caribbean. I had always refused to work for them because I knew that the owner, expected the sales and marketing agents to lie.

Also, when you purchase outside of the U.S., i.e. Mexico, three things you must be aware of.

1. You own nothing, but air. It is merely a club membership. There is very little, if any, availability. Now, Mexico is charging "resort fees."

2. The resorts are hotels, not totally timeshare. Only a number of rooms are dedicated to timeshare which is why there is never any availability when you want it. They need the hotel space to bring in more tours for their sales presentations, and high season (top dollar) pays the most money.

3. Review your contract. Many are based in other countries outside of where you purchased, i.e. Panama.

I worked in many resorts in Mexico and Caribbean. You can always walk away and owe them nothing. There will be no repercussions, except you give up what you have put in. You can walk away from any timeshare outside of the U.S. whether it is paid for or not.

Best of luck!
