Re: Royal HOliday is a scam (by Klim G.):

Robert T. are you sure about the numbers in your post? You stated that you have 185,000 points every year. How it’s possible if Royal Holiday official highest level of membership is only 75,000 (check their web site). Might be you have “special” arrangement with the company? Second, you stated “5000 points which is useless when making reservations with them”. Why Royal Holiday sells 5,000 or Bronze membership if booking without Royal Holiday on major travel sites costs hundreds of dollars cheaper? The answer is because their goal is only get your money and do not provide ANY savings to members. We also members of couple other vacation clubs and we always see our savings with these clubs. But cost of vacations with Royal Holiday is ALWAYS higher compare if you buy from major travel sites. Go on forums of scammed Royal Holiday members and read about it.

You suggestion to get higher level of membership sounds exactly like most common sales pitch from Royal Holiday sales gang. I’ve heard thousands time about this trick. I want to stop you right here. I spoke with one member who has a highest possible level with RH. Guess what? Cost of his vacation is also higher compare what he can buy on travel sites. RH sales gang also recommended him to upgrade to “PLUS” membership like you suggested to me. If you look your next booking in numbers and consider cost of your membership per year plus annual fee you will become angry. It’s a scam because no matter what there are no savings! Ridiculous!

Finally, you completely ignore cost of vacation comparison I highlighted in my post. If you are so wealthy that you can throw big money for nothing – good for you. However, I will make here simple math calculation for your example using numbers provided by my friend who has highest level of membership with RH. His annual fee around $1,600 and average cost of his contract per year around $3,200. So if you do simple math $1,600 + $3,200 = $4,800. Hence, total cost towards his annual vacation even before he books it is already $4,800. You stated that any one can who is not member can book directly a week for $2,100 in Paradise Beach Villas in Aruba. So this member will overpay $2,700 for his vacation. He is NOT alone based on HUGE feedback from angry members on Internet. Sorry but your comment doesn’t make any financial sense because cheaper to book this vacation for $2,100 directly with the resort and do not overpay $2,700 to Royal Holiday. I don’t want to accuse you that you work for Royal Holiday however your all the facts in your post look suspicious and doesn’t make any financial sense.

Last, I filed complain to Consumer protection agency to prove that RH scam their members promising savings. I attached all the facts about my reservation with all the numbers to prove that my cost of vacation with RH is much higher compare with major travel sites. RH responded back as usually nonsense without any numbers that they provide savings to members. No word or comments why my vacation in the same resort for the same dates $806 cheaper on www.kayak.com compare with RH cost. I asked them to provide numbers what they think I saved on my reservation. There were NO RESPONSE at all. Royal Holiday is Mexican scam and targets Americans and Canadians first of all. Please tell your family members and friends stay away from them and NEVER sign in contract. It’s financial disaster and big pain. By the way I agree with previous members’ posts that RH hires people who actively post on Internet in social media trying to make the company look better and attract more victims for their scam. Be aware about it!
