Royal Holiday Club

I was on vacation in Cozumel, Park Royal in May. I was given some free tours and a promise of free return trips when I purchased a vacation package plan from Royal Holiday. I have been trying to rebook a vacation in August, and can not get any help from the people I have been e-mailing and talking with. They say they can not honor the coupon I was given. It was not part of the contract. The contract does not look exactly like the one I signed. I signed four copies, and was given one. They said one was for the location of the hotel, another for the bank to secure the trust, one for the home office, and I got the third. I did not read all the copies, believing that they were all the same. I don't believe they were, and now they say my contract did not include the other things I was given with the coupons, so they do not have to give those things to me. I was supposed to be able to return to Cozumel for five years without using my points, so I could use them to go on a cruise. The cruise will take all my points, then I have to pay a fee because the cabin is all that is included, not the food. This is not what I was told when I purchased the plan. I don't want to be part of this any more. I now see the warning our government has against buying things like this. Why wasn't I given this by my travel agent? What good is a warning if you have not seen it? I can see that I should get my money back, it will take a fight with ruthless, greedy people. It would save my bank, the BBB in Southeast Florida, Profeco, the Attorney General's office, e-commerce, The Federal Trade Commission, and the State Dept. a lot of work if they would just have somebody give a flyer with the warning to all tourists going to areas where these resorts host the scammers. Please, write all these agencies and push to have warnings handed out. I will do what ever it takes to get my money back. It just seems like time wasted if someone in our government would do the job they are being paid to do, protect the tax payers and citizens of our country.

We were on a cruise and stopped in cozumel at the park rotal we were scamed into buying their worthless lies and they got us drunk and held our id so long we almost missed our ship. We paid $10,000 and more in dues and hurricaine damage. We just want out. I cant believe they plied us with tequilla and scamed us and we are in our 50's. Help!

I used to work for Royal Holiday Club, in the corporate office in Mexico City, not Miami Fl, like they lead you to believe. Unfortunetly I agree with all the complaints that are presentated on this page. just to let you know, all of you guys that have that infamous "anuity certificate" that your sales rep said would return your money after 30 yrs, well...its not true, in the history of Royal Holiday there hasn't been one single "anuity certificate" been cashed and the "bank" that holds your investment doesnt even exist, If you dont believe me, just try calling someone from that "bank" (the tel number is in the back of your annuity cert) and i assure you will never get an answer, and if you are lucky and you do get a call back, is more than likely to be a reservations agent from Royal Holiday. I would suggest you either sell, rent or give away your membership before it eats you away. Oh... and to all those people that think of reporting Royal Holiday to any American/Canadian Agency, dont waste your time or any more of your money for that matter, it's not going to do you any good. The U.S government or law has no jurisdiction in Mexico or the Caribean were all of the Royal Holiday sales take place, why do you think that they dont sell memberships in their U.S resorts? Anyhow, Royal Holiday is not THAT BAD, you can actually make business out of it, well if you are smart about it ofcourse, you can sell vacations using your points to friends, family or co-workers, just advise them not to make your same mistake, you dont want to see them back home with a 5,000 point membership that is not even good to cover for a decent family vacation. oh...and to all of you guys that complain about availability, please take into considerations the following points:
1)the amount of points you have (having 5,000 points does not make you a v.i.p when there is someone else that has payed a membeship for 100,000 point, yes, there are people that pay more than 100,000 usd and are happy with RH)
2) seasons (for more availability go during months no one else is vacationing)
3)locations (its not the same going to the bahamas than going to hawaii, therefore is not going to cost you the same)
4)amount of people vacationing (please dont try to squez a family of 10 if you only have 5,000 points and can only afford a room for four people)
5)room accomidation (again, with a petty membership of less than 30,000 points, you are never going to see what a presidential suite looks like, sorry..not happening)
I truly feel your frustration, i had to deal with all of your complaints for 2 yrs, as a former NEW MEMBERS agent, if you want things done, you have to be super persistent and super duper NICE, most of the sales and reservations agents that RH hires hate the gringo ego and gringos in general (AMERICAN/CANADIANS)
Currently I am located in the South Florida Area, if you need any more specific info on how to make your membership to good use, in other words, how to beat the monster known as ROYAL HOLIDAY,you can email me to
lori.lu.02@hotmail.com
I charge of course, hey... i have to pay my way to college, nothing personal, just business
