Parent Company: Viva Resorts (founded in 1987) partners with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts for branding and marketing
Viva Resorts by Wyndham operates as a collection of all-inclusive resorts across the Caribbean and Mexico, often marketed under the "Viva Vacation Club" or "Club Viva" membership program. While the resorts themselves offer appealing beachfront locations, a pattern of complaints has emerged from members and guests.
Common Complaints & Issues
A significant number of timeshare owners and guests report similar negative experiences regarding Viva Wyndham and the Viva Vacation Club. These issues often lead owners to seek professional timeshare exit assistance.
High-Pressure Sales Tactics
The sales process is frequently described as aggressive and high-pressure. Travelers report being drawn into lengthy presentations, often marketed as a "special tour" or "free gift," where they feel harassed or misled until they sign a contract. Many members feel they were lied to about the value and flexibility of their purchase.
Misrepresentation of Points & Value
A common scam involves salespeople verbally promising perks and stating that points have more exchange value than they actually do. It is reported that they often sell small point packages, forcing owners to realize they need more points later at a higher cost. The actual value of the points is frequently misrepresented.
Booking & Availability Issues
Members consistently struggle to book the room categories, resorts, or dates they were promised during the sales presentation. This includes encountering blackout dates and limited inventory, which makes the "guaranteed" vacation difficult to access. Customers often describe the experience as a "lack of availability" and poor customer service when attempting to resolve these issues.
Contract & Cancellation Nightmares
While there is a cooling-off period (e.g., 5 business days in Mexico), members frequently report that the cancellation process is extremely difficult. Clients have complained that when they attempt to cancel within the legal period, they are told their deposit is non-refundable, or they face significant hurdles in confirming the cancellation.
Poor Customer Service & Communication
A recurring theme across complaints is the lack of continuity and clarity in service. Guests report that every small request becomes complicated, answers change depending on the staff member on shift, and departments fail to share information. This leads to wasted vacation time resolving administrative issues instead of relaxing.

t the companies want some commission , but the true is that in many cases that "commission" is more than the price of the timeshare or equal, i was very naive when i bought a few years a timeshare, worst thing ever i made , so pls estay alert and get away form here pls
Viva vacación club. Te venden una mbresia VIP, pero cuando querés usar tus puntos vacacionales, no hay disponibilidad ( aunque estés respetando los plazos de anticipación de la reserva ) ni solución al problema que te generan ( en. Darte otro hotel similar ). Ahora he mandado un mail solicitando la baja por incumplimiento, pero parecen que han desaparecido todos. No se como va a terminar la historia. Eviten ser engañados por estos farsantes y ladrones de ilusiones.
Estas personas son un total fraude, son un fiasco , una porqueria, compre con ellos hace un par de años y lo que prometieorn , nada absolutamente nada me cumplieron , les dije repetidamente muchas veces sobre todo lo que habia firmado y lo que me habian propuesto a la hora de comprar y se hicieron con que entendi mal las cosas, quise cancelarlo y ahora estoy demandado por esta escoria! ni se acerquen aqui con ellos porfavor
yo no tuve la oportunidad de quedarme en este resort, pero mi hna hace años tuvo una muy desafortunada experiencia con este resort, ella tenia membresia y tenia segun esto derecho a todos los servicios del resort, el primer mes asi fue , pero ya despues no , le dijeron que la promocion solo era valida para la 1 era vez, cosa que en la presentacion cuando compro el tiempo compartido le dijeron todo lo contrario , a fin de cuentas tuvo que desaerce de el
I hate this, i hate all those scam companies, honestly we can live and afford better things that purchase a timeshare, if you are thinking that culd be a great idea dont be stupid and try to avoid any timeshare presentation , those guys are real scammers, so if you want to continue your life without regrets stay away form this
The prices they show you are not what they are when you look yourself
HOla, compre una menbresia en julio de este año (2014) y leyendo esto me estoy preocupando mucho, me pueden aclarar como den¿bo manejarme?? Gracias!!!
they sold me a timeshare in mexico and i havent been able to rent my weeks it's been 4 years since i bought it
Estimados compré una membresía en febrero del 2013. Obviamente aún no pude reservar nada y por la devaluación e inflación de mi país, Argentina, es que quiero cancelar el contrato y no me dan respuesta. QUe debo hacer?? no puedo seguir costeando la membresía.
Horrible experience, had to give back timeshare because of financial problems. Wyndham put it down
as a repossession, thereby running by credit. I wouldn't recommend Wyndham to anyone.
