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.

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.
I JUST RETURNED FROM THE WYNDHAM TIME SHARE SALES PITCH...GREAT PLACE...BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED...BUT OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE NO GUARANTEE YOU'D GET THAT PARTICUALLY ONE... I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT GOOD ARE TIME SHARES. THEY ARE JUST ALL SO NICE AND THEN WHEN YOU SAY NO...IT'S LIKE THE TOTAL OPPOSITE. EVEN IF I HAD THAT MUCH MONEY THEY ASK FOR I WOULDN'T PUT IT TOWARDS A TIME SHARE. BUT WE DID WALK AWAY WITH $50. NOT A BAD DEAL FOR A WEEKEND GETAWAY.
Compre un tiempo compartido en este lugar. Fue una estrategia muy sucia para hacernos entrar en este contrato. Cuando salimos de alli leimos nuevamente el contrato con mucho cuidado y nos dimos cuenta de que no habia nada alli de las promesas verbales que nos hicieron. Asi que hicimos uso de los 5 dias para cancelar, pero nos presentaron un documento donde renunciabamos a esos 5 dias!! Y nos trataron horriblemente.
En este momento estamos en tratativas con profeco para cancelar este contrato, hace ya 8 meses y no hemos logrado cancelarlo. Alguien tiene experiencia de haber logrado cancelar mediante Profeco?
Gracias

Yo compre un tiempo compartido en viva maya y fui a cancelarlos antes de los 5 dias y un vendedor uso como estrategia de que no me reembolsaria , pero como conozco las leyes mexicana y como buen mexicano, me dirigi a la oficina del verificador legal y hay estuvismos una conversacion y el mismo me informo que si no estaba sastifecho que daba por cancelado el contrato y me hizo me rembolso. Debemos de tener en cuenta que los venderores usan muchas estrategias para vender asi como para que no le cancelen, pero la ley es la ley , si se solicita la cancelacion dentro de los 5 dias habiles aplica el total del reembolso , transcurrido ese periodo se puede cancelar, pero no aplica reembolso como esta estipulado en el contrato.
Compramos 10.000 puntos en el viva maya el 16 de Julio . tengo hasta mañana para cancelarlo... aun no me queda claro si efectivamente corresponden a dos semanasa para dos adultos en temporada baja.. alguien me puede confirmar ?? Gracias

El sabado compre 20000 puntos en viva maya. El contrato y la forma de venta no me dan seguridad. Es muy probable que el lunes lo cancele. Que debo hacer para recuperar el pago inicial y si requiero su intervencion cuales son los costos. El pago fue de uss 3000
