A caveat emptor to timeshare presentations for honeymoon or vacation trips. Resorts occasionally react VERY poorly to those that do not succumb to their pressures to buy a timeshare. We’ve seen reports of withholding prizes and freebies enough that we feel it’s a very real danger to those going to resorts blindly.
One report states:
This reminded me of a “family vacation” we all took to a timeshare in Palm Springs back a few years back. All of our kids were stuck along in a condo for a few hours while the adults took their tour of the golf course and other amenities. On our last day there, we all got together in a large conference room for yet another salespitch and a free luncheon. When the sales people asked “Who wants to buy?”, no one responded and so they didn’t serve us any lunch.
Missing a free lunch may seem laughable, but what will you do if it’s your honeymoon and the resort is insisting on charging you the full outlandish resort fees because you didn’t purchase a timeshare from them?
