Unlimited Vacation Club
reviews and complaints

I went to "the talk" with no intention of buying anything but wanted the $250 in vouchers, However I changed my mind when i was assured i would be given $1000/year for cruises even through Disney to save money on future vacations and that there would be a significant savings. Most importantly i understood that this was a Hyatt company so very trustworthy. Then when i got home, i found their website to be very simple and had to SEARCH to find any association with Hyatt and could not find any connection for buying cruises or Disney, only their vacations in Central America and none of the world-wide places. Then even looking at their "savings' for Mexico and found minimal savings certainly not enough to justify the large amount of money i put on my credit card to buy in with them. I was scammed into thinking this was a Hyatt company and now see all the smoke in mirrors. I will make sure to let people know that the Dreams Resort I stayed in was beautiful and clean and the workers were lovely, however UVC is a team of scam artists. I contacted them already and was told to await a call from "Legal" With no phone call yet today I'm going to social media to ensure I get all of my money back.

I have been trying to cancel my membership for over a month now. I even got the BBB involved. You can terminate your membership within 5 business days but they did not give me access to their site, still don't have it, to effectively assess their program. There is also a 15 business day voluntary termination that will cost you a little of what they charge for the stay - in my case it was an upgrade from their Dreams Tulum to their Secrets Moxche resort. I'm willing to absorb some of that cost but they simply will not reachout to me any longer, not since 2 Feb have I heard from them even though they have told the BBB they have reached out to me. They have now charged my card for monthly payments - which I will refute and hopefully nix their monthly charge until we re-establish contract to resolve the termination.

I am a goldplus member. Was promised a Premier Week and the bonus week together could be a week at any club. Instead when I booked it, it is only six days and you pay full price for the seventh and get the lowest level room both of which were not expressed at the time of the contract.

Then there are the RCI points. I tried to make the points available. I don't remember the sales man saying each time they release the points it cost $300, but nevertheless, I asked for the points that were soon to expire to be released and paid the fee. Instead they release points that were to expire a year later and I had to pay $150 to combine them for the trade. I called 4x and was promised a call back and that it would be resolved 3 different times. No call back ever came. I asked to speak to a supervisor, not available. Finally as the deadline for holding the property came I gave up and paid to combine the other points. RCI also promised to help but never did.

We were sold a vacation package to return to the resort that we were staying at which was Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana as a last option in their sales pitch. They promised us that we could return if we purchased the voucher and it would allow us to have the upgraded amenities also known as the Preferred Club Access. After we paid the $500 deposit and $700 payment totaling $1,299 we thought we'd be all set to book it. Well we then find out that there are block out dates for the dates we wanted to return which was in the first week of January the same time we were there originally but could not book those dates when we called to make our reservation. And on top of it, we were told that Secrets was not an option. So we were sold one thing based on what we were told but then they tell us that we can't do what we were sold. This is extremely frustrating and we would like to discuss how we can resolve this issue to get what we were sold and promised.

Unlimited Vacation Club is a complete fraud. Our experiences with them on our trip (February 2023 at secrets Moxche) promised a guaranteed locked in price, value like you could not believe. Even our cruise credits that we got from the package through U lifestyle wasn't as they had proposed it would be. They gave us 1500$ for the first two years towards cruises which was stated that they could be cashed out for a single cruise. This was a complete lie, U lifestyle told me we could only use 400$ of the 1500$ for the cruise leaving it at a whopping 3100$ left to pay out of pocket (dollars in American and not including flights). The pricing is literally no better than going to a travel agent.

Extremely unsatisfied and if a suit comes out of this I would gladly go into it. 14000$ into it and just found out its complete BS.

Yours truly, yet another unsatisfied customer.

PS I'd love my money back.

The presentation was a very slick act which made promises that do not pan out in the end. The salesman said that we would only have to pay the "member fee" for food/beverage which was between $190-$270 per night. When reviewing the contract we saw that it stated we would only get a 25% discount on rooms, but he said do not worry about that, you will get amazing rates. So although we were very skeptical they eventually convinced us to go through with it and we did. Now that we try to book a vacation we see the rates are really just a 25% discount of full price, and typically non members of UVC can already get discounts so in the end it is not much if any savings at all. You can search Unlimited Vacation Club on the internet and see the millions of complaints

about deceitful sales tactics. We have emailed the company with no response.

We upgraded our UVC at secrets Moxche about a year ago. The young woman who was the manager of sales sold us with the Hyatt acquisition and now was part of UVC. We were told more than once with certainty that our 300,000 Hyatt points earned would be Hyatt base points to earn lifetime globalist membership. Come to find out that is a complete lie, false and con. That is a very large part in our decision to spend money and upgrade.

If anyone knows this woman’s name I would like to have it. I believe it was Natalia. She works as the UVC sales manager at Secrets Moxche. Long hair and in her late 20’s. If so please reply. I am certain she has lied to others.

On 11/8/2023 I was offered a coupon for an excursion at a reduced cost for renting a car with America Car rental. I agreed to purchasing the coupon but only received a voucher that stated that I must attend a 90 minute time share presentation in order to receive my coupon. I was not able to attend the presentation they told me do not worry it was refundable and that I needed to email the address on the paper to get my refund. I have emailed them numerous times and never gotten a response. When I call the number it is disconnected. When I call Unlimited Vacation Club directly they state they don't know what the voucher is, who has my money or how to be refunded.

Total scam and waste of money. Stay away from this membership and Dreams hotels chain completely. There is no benefit from this membership but a loss. when you price with hotel+air ticket (dont price only the hotel stay separately, always add the air ticket together) , any other travel site beat or match UVC for no upfront cost. Free nights and membership benefits doesnt exist and so many conditions to get so much less. Once you sign up, you cant get out without paying minimum of 50% of contract value. Pressure sales tactics and bogus promises to cheat money out of unsuspecting customers who are in good mood.

On Feb 23, 2023 we purchased a Pearl Package at Dreams resort in Huatulco, MX. We were given first visit incentives for 2 premier weeks that were IMMEDIATELY ACCESSIBLE upon signing the contract. We were also given 4 RCI bonus weeks for $299 valid for 2 years. We paid a down payment of $3,875.00USD of the contract and have paid monthly amounts ever since. We were clearly told that we had 2 weeks of premier nights available to us IMMEDIATELY upon signing as an incentive gift to sign there and then (I have this in writing).

7 months later I went to book/use 7 of our premier nights and am told that we have to pay out the remainder of our contract $6500+ if I want to access the 14 premier nights.

I understand how the regular premier nights work on a regular basis. However, these 14 premier nights were given to us to use immediately as stated in our contract. I want UVC to honor their contract and what was promised upon signing. Please see my contract attached.

We got duped at Dreams Cozumel. I don’t know how much money we have spent in total, but I have yet gotten and “free” anything. We made a huge downpayment, and spend $400 per month for this membership. We also spent $4000 + on Unlimited Lifestyle, and another $2000 + for RCI crap. We have been promised everything from free resort weeks, free cruises, free airfare, free car rentals, etc. However, when trying to use any of these things we were not allowed because of the time of the year, or we have to pay fees as our free week is only the “base” amount, and the fees end up costing as much as if I booked not using my “free” week. The rates continue to go up for no reason. I am out over $10,000, and have got nothing for it. And now the free weeks I was guaranteed are not available till I pay in full, or upgrade to the next level which costs more money. I am so beyond done. I want to sue the rntire corporation and every individual that works there plus all the resorts.

I have been a member of Unlimited Vacation Club for several years and have hosted and traveled to several countrys. We went with 3 other couples to Cobo and were treated very well. We have been to 2 other resorts and felt treated very well. We brought another couple to this resort in Sint Maarten and had our trip crushed. From check in to check out I could begin to tell you that this is not a Secrets. Most of the resturants were not open, the food left much to be desired - when you had a problem with door locks ect. I took a miracle to get something fixed. It was not a pleasant experiance that we had at other Secrets - no app for anything and they were mostly rude. Sorry for the bad review but this vacation was a bust. I am not happy.

During my visit last August to Secrets Riveria Maya, I was coerced into signing a 5-year contract for a vacation club under the influence. I had my daughter with me. who is a minor and the fast-talking salespeople promised me a deluxe suite and other massive discounts that would pay for itself within the five years. They charged me $900 and $176 per month afterwards. I am a single parent and suffer from medical impairments. I can't continue paying the membership, I tried talking to the company without success. I can't use the membership and the fees are piling up. I have not made any payments this month and won't be able to. I need to speak to someone to end this nightmare. I have four years left on this membership and I hope that we can terminate the contract because I am not in a financial position to pay for false promises. Please help!
