Sapphire Resorts – Wow, unbeleivable!

This place is the absolute definition of SCAM! They make it sound so nice and compared to other timeshares it is affordable. (they convince you it is not a Timeshare) Problem is, it is all lies! We were promised 12 days with flight for 2 in Hawaii, at the "fable table". Wound up with a 2 nite 3rd party certificate that makes you jump through hoops to use and pay resort fees and taxes. We were promised 299 weekly stays in 30 luxurious resorts. Nothing is 299. This is a point based, oversold Vacation Plan. It is exceptionally hard to book during popular times, because it is, first come first serve. Its sole purpose IMO is a money machine for Starpoint Resort, the mother company. If you make the mistake of signing up interest rates approach 20%, 45-year contracts. There is no exit plan, no way out! We were stupid. To add insult to injury when we got home and downloaded the contract and found a, "License to Lie" clause. It says anything you were told/promised "verbally" is not binding on Starpoints/Sapphire/Geo Holidays or Getawayresorts.(this place operates under many shells). The contract itself is so one sided, no-one would sign, but it is cleverly manipulated so you see only what they want you to see and hear only what they tell you. Beware! When you find you can't book anything and finally get someone on the line they will do their best to upsale you. After all they were successful the first time. Oh, and that starter plan is a once every 3 year plan, but you can upgrade to Biennial and Annual.
