anyone been to this resort?

Thanks - already sent an email there just a bit ago!

Does anyone know anything about Omnicorp?

Has anyone had any success with an attorney?

The more we read the more frustrated we get. Bought a fractional in Jan of this year and now get sinking feeling we were scammed We still owe another payment on balance and are considering not following thru. should we contact our card company and dispute the charge? any other avenues to explore?

please contack Karla at steilka@iowatelecom.net, organizing a group to put them out of business..

We too have fallen victum to the The Executive Properties SCAM! We would like to be involved in any action against them. John Rossborough(rossborough@wiktel.com)

yes , I stayed there in the beginning of the year, it was actually down the road from the sales office. I also bought into this place , it seemed like a good investment at the time , But after reading this forum ,I think I'll withhold my second payment. Don't go to this sales pitch. Enjoy Costa Rica , the people are great and the country is beautiful .rental cars are ridiculous take the bus.

Would like any correspondence to whats happening to shut these people down. We to were scammed in Nov. of 2010. Would like to see these crooks go to jail. Email papadan2five@gmail.com

Just got back from Playas del Coco and we are sad to report that we, too, were seduced into a Coco Sunset Fractional Share with rental option. It was just supposed to be an 'information session' over a complimentary lunch but it turned into a hard-sell sales presentation by a couple of smooth operators on a tag team. Five hours later, their final carrot was the use of a 2-br condo for our entire 2-week stay as their guests. ( Later I found out that I couldn't cancel and get a refund for the original hotel we had booked.) After reading all the above unhappy posts, so similar to our situation, I feel that we also have become victims to their promises and guarantees. We definitely would like to be part of a class action suit. They are expecting a final $7000+ on April 15th. Should I hold this back? We have always run from timeshare presentations before; why were we so silly? After having buyer's remorse the next day after talking to a local expat who knew alot about this outfit, I tried to get out of this situation by calling the credit card company, who could do nothing; we signed a legal contract and all. I then got online at the Internet Cafe in Coco. When I read about the 10-day buyer's remorse provision on this forum, I went and confronted the sales rep that they failed to mention this, but was told it didn't apply to us as we were given such a good deal and had signed that we were totally happy. We even went to the Century 21 office but they could offer no useable advice either. How can one do your proper due diligence when you are held captive in an office full of sharks, in a foreign country without phone or access to computer? It was already too late, was confounded by lies and misinformation and felt quite helpless, lost in the woods, so to speak. I was just too trusting and moonstruck - a real sucker! Costa Rica is such a wonderful country, friendly people and great food. The scenery is awesome! What happened with us has marred our enjoyment of our holiday this time, but I will be back to get more of what I missed. I'm not sure if I will ever use my weeks at Coco Sunset, even though it was a decent enough place, certainly much more comfortable and quiet than the hotel would have been. I thought the beach at Cafe de Playa was just fine, relaxing, a lot cleaner than in the town and with plenty of shade when it's too hot. We have become reluctant fractional owners. It could be worse, I guess. All we can do now is make the best of it, eh? Wendy

Sorry to hear your tale -- it's the same story as so many others here. DO NOT PAY THESE SCUM ANY MORE MONEY!! Please contact steilka@iowatelecom.net if you want to add your name to the growing list of furious and determined "owners" at Coco Sunset. AND, for the others sure to follow with comments, if you want to do the same, WE NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS -- or if you don't want to make that public, then contact steilka@iowatelecom.net.

Thanks Patrick. I sent an e-mail off to Karla and hope this nightmare can come to an end for everybody.

I have heard about Omnicorp. What would you like to know?

Be interesting to hear what both of you know about Omnicorp, as we have been trying for some time to learn if they are any different than Executive Properties -- ie. a major SCAM working closely in conjunction with Coco. If you want to find out more, please email Karla at steilka@iowatelecom.net.

I heard about Omnicorp Development at a resort in the Dominican Republic, promoted by somebody who had worked before at the Coconut Sunset. Sounds exactly the way E.P. is working.

How exactly is E.P. being brought into the game at the Coconut Sunset? How do they collect the money?

Do they also offer deferred annuities linked to the timeshare purchase at the Coconut Sunset?

Karla I've tried your e-mail address and it won't go thru. My husband and I would like to be added to your list. And if you have any idea had to get our money back that would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Trish

Trish, Please try again: steilka@iowatelecom.net, it's important you're counted! This email address is active.

Patrick, This is the message I get when I try to sent the e-mail to Karla. The address "steilka@iowatelecom.net" in the "To" field was not recognized. Please make sure that all addresses are properly formed. Now what do I do??? Can you get Karla to verify the address?? Thanks, Patricia

Karla, I want to add my husband and my name to the list that got scammed at Coco Sunset Vacation Club but I can't e-mail you at the address you listed. Can you help me out? Thanks, Trish

HelloTrish, Im not sure why the email is not going through to the address, it is a valid email address. Maybe copy and paste: steilka@iowatelecom.net to make sure you have it right. Post on this forum when you have retried, if it doesn't go thru again, i can give you an alternate email address. Hope it works this time, we want to hear from you!

Not sure where you are trying to send this from. Off of the Redweek forum? Try using your email service provider and copy and paste my address in the "to" field. It should send, the address is formatted correctly if it is printed exactly as it appears. Hope this works! Karla
