My mother and I have received an "offer of settlement" (viewable at this link http://tinyurl.com/k3mggkf) that would obligate us to lie about our experience with these people who have identified themselves to us as Bliss Resorts, Bliss Vacation Club, Vida Vacation Club International Sales, Grupo Vida Vacation, Mayan Resorts, Riviera Maya, et al.

First, this offer purports to create a contractual relationship between us and another company, to wit: Premium International Vacations S.A. de C.V. We are trying to sever ties with the authors of this unpleasant chapter of our lives, not expand the list of characters.

Second, this offer purports to have us surrender our free speech rights, and goes further by obliging us to participate in marketing activities, such as posting positive comments, on behalf of the Premium International Vacations S.A. de C.V. and its unidentified "Affiliates," for no consideration other than the return of our own money.

Third, this offer demands our silence, requiring us to keep these terms a secret, and never to speak about it, under threat. Meanwhile, we are suppose to trust that the "Person Offering Settlement" noted on this offer with an office at the Riviera Maya (a) has the authority to make this offer, and (b) will eventually refund our downpayment.

Who are these people? And why would any reputable hotel or resort allow them on their property to take our money? More importantly, why hasn't any of THESE hotels and resorts contacted us to resolve this?

I appreciate your very informative informations regarding your experience in Mexico with Grand Mayan. I, unfortunately had a similar experience with VIDA Vacation and i have "as those sales associates said it would be an good investment" invested significant amount of money into The Bliss. After coming across so many complaints about this group, i regret very much how I was really naive and uneducated about this scam.

Although it may be too late now that it was really a hard lesson but i am in a constant search for a solution to get out of this contract with VIDA, however, everywhere I look, people post their complaint and Grand Mayan member service post a reply to it and soon after they only post the message as " they have resolved the situation to my satisfaction" etc. but never in any details. Does that mean they got the total refund on their credit card(s) as to what they have invested? That they have no more obligation what's so ever with them? What has happened to your situation since your last posting?
