At Las Vegas Sales Office, they promised us that we have One Week Every Year to occupy at the Resort.
My Wife and I took the Resort on Installment Payment. There was not anytime or year that we made use of the Resort since we bought it, because of work time reasons. But we never failed on our payments and yearly maintenance fees.
Right after we have paid the Timeshare in full, the Resort Management informed us that we bought an every 3-year, one week occupancy. We were devastated, but we continued to pay the yearly maintenance, to comply with their collection insistence. Why did they trick us on the yearly Occupancy and why did the Resort collected yearly Maintenance fees, if they say we can only occupy every 3 years?

Villa del palmar timeshare fraud and how i quit
I bought a time share with Villa del Palmar, I paid a small part of the membership on the day of signing the contract and with a few outstanding payments in the short term I finished paying the total amount. The reason I signed the same day of the presentation was because if I did that same day I would get unbeatable benefits from them that otherwise would not give me. Later reviewing the contract I realize that the contract gives exaggerated guarantees in favor of them and for the members not, there is much inequality. I did not see any clause where you remember how you can end the contract, when for some reason you no longer want it or you can not continue paying the membership. If you fail to pay the fees or maintenance payment... Read More

Re 11/18/2016 contact fraud
I wanted to get out of my diamond timeshare, which of course is worth nothing, and will cost me to legally dispose of it. However when invited to attend one of their presentations I went solely to get the free gift promised. I told the salesman up front I had no interest in buying more points because I was planning to get out. Still for an hour he persisted in pushing all the wonderful benefits I would get if I upgraded to 'Silver' status. Again, I said I had no interest. When I said I was leaving at that point he described a 'new' 'buyback' program from Diamond whereby after 2 years if I had gold status I could sell it back to Diamond for a large amount, and that if I was 'silver' status could sell it back after 3. In my case, he quoted $108,000 if I... Read More

THEY SOLD US ON TRADING IN OUR PRE-EXISTING TIMESHARE IN ORDER TO BUY THEIRS. THEN THEY LEAVE ALL THOSE DETAILS OUT OF CONTRACT AND DO NOT ACTUALLY FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE TRADE. ONCE YOU CALL THEM OUT, THEY SAY YOU CAN CANCEL AND FORFEIT YOUR DOWN-PAYMENT. COMPLETE AND UTTER SCAM.
