Royal Holiday does not have the best reputation among timeshare resorts. Most of their sales are conducted using high-pressure tactics, and a significant number of members feel they have been lied to or scammed. Many timeshare contracts are also misrepresented during the sales process.
One of the most common scams occurs at the time of purchase: a Royal Holiday salesperson will make verbal promises to get you to sign the contract. However, the contract clearly states that any verbal promises made by the sales associate are invalid unless they are explicitly included in the written agreement.
Royal Holiday promises excellent customer service to its members, but this only seems to apply when members call to make a payment. If you have questions or concerns about your membership, the associate will likely say they will send you the information via email—but that email never arrives. The most common response to any unhappy member is to suggest an upgrade, regardless of the issue. As a result, members often end up paying even more for a membership they were never satisfied with in the first place.
Booking with Royal Holiday presents another challenge. During the sales pitch, they promise you can travel anywhere, at any time. This is far from the truth. Your travel options depend entirely on the points you purchase, and unfortunately, they almost always sell you a small points package. By the time you realize you need more points, you're forced to upgrade and pay additional fees.
Most Royal Holiday sales are conducted outdoors or at locations other than their official sales offices. As a "courtesy," they allow you to purchase and sign the contract on the spot, with the salesperson briefly explaining the terms—often omitting important details. Some associates even send the documents to your home while you're still on vacation. By the time you return home and carefully read the contract, you realize it’s not what you thought it was—and worse, your recession period has already expired.
Royal Holiday sales associates may also tell you that you're making a great investment in real estate. This is another major lie. A timeshare is neither an investment nor real estate. You are simply leasing a hotel room for a set period once a year; you do not own the property. It is not an investment because there is no resale market or rental opportunity, meaning there is no potential for profit.
If you want to know how to cancel a timeshare with Royal Holiday or Park Royal, we recommend that you carefully read your contract and check if there is a clause regarding the rescission period. To learn how to proceed and successfully cancel your timeshare, we explain it in detail in our article "7 Steps to Successfully Rescind a Timeshare."

Con Royal Holiday mi frustración comenzó cuando intenté hacer un cambio en una reservación y descubrí que había más condiciones de las que esperaba. No era imposible resolverlo, pero sí bastante más complicado de lo que imaginaba cuando contraté.
Eso me hizo pensar que la facilidad de uso debería ser una de las primeras cosas que cualquier comprador investigue. No solamente qué destinos aparecen en la presentación, sino cómo funciona realmente el programa cuando necesitas hacer algo fuera de lo habitual.
Royal Holiday has been a lesson in budgeting for me. I originally focused on whether we'd enjoy the trips, but I didn't spend enough time considering the ongoing financial side of maintaining the membership.
Now I look at every vacation differently. Before committing to another program, I'd want to compare the total long-term cost against what we'd spend simply booking hotels as needed.
Royal Holiday me ha dado problemas por algo bastante distinto a lo que esperaba: la comunicación entre distintas áreas. En más de una ocasión tuve que explicar nuevamente mi situación porque parecía que la persona que atendía no tenía toda la información anterior.
Puede parecer un detalle menor, pero cuando estás intentando resolver una cuestión relacionada con una membresía de largo plazo, repetir todo desde cero resulta bastante agotador. Esperaba un seguimiento mucho más ordenado.
Royal Holiday hasn't worked particularly well for the way my family travels. We tend to make plans based on school and work schedules, so having to work around membership availability can be frustrating.
I think the biggest mistake was assuming that owning a membership automatically meant we'd have more flexibility. In practice, the value depends heavily on whether your schedule happens to fit the program.
Con Royal Holiday he tenido más dudas sobre la membresía conforme pasa el tiempo. Al principio estaba convencido de que la usaríamos con frecuencia, pero nuestras circunstancias cambiaron y ahora ya no viajamos de la misma manera.
Lo complicado es que una decisión tomada para disfrutar unas vacaciones puede convertirse en un compromiso que permanece mucho después de que cambian tus planes. Esa es probablemente la parte que más me hubiera gustado entender antes de firmar.
Royal Holiday has been difficult for us mainly because our travel habits changed. We originally expected to use the membership several times a year, but that hasn't happened. The problem is that changing your travel plans doesn't necessarily change the commitment you've already made.
I wish the sales process had made the long-term side of membership ownership feel as important as the vacation benefits. If you're considering joining, think about how realistic your usage will be several years from now, not just next summer.
Con Royal Holiday terminé aprendiendo a la fuerza que tener una membresía no significa necesariamente tener disponibilidad cuando uno quiere viajar. En varias ocasiones tuve que cambiar mis planes porque las opciones que buscaba no estaban disponibles en las fechas que necesitaba.
También me preocupa el futuro del contrato. Cuando uno compra, piensa en las vacaciones que tendrá durante los próximos meses, pero debería preguntarse desde el principio qué pasará si después quiere transferir, cancelar o simplemente dejar de utilizar la membresía. Esa es una conversación que vale la pena tener antes de firmar.
Royal Holiday has become frustrating because the membership doesn't feel as flexible as I expected when I purchased it. I've had to adjust travel plans around what is available rather than simply choosing the dates that work for us.
The part that really changed my attitude was seeing how much planning is required before I can even tell whether a trip will be practical. At that point, I started wondering whether I'd be better off keeping my money available and booking hotels normally.
Royal Holiday became frustrating for me when I realized that planning far ahead doesn't automatically solve the availability problem. I contacted them with plenty of time before a trip, but the options that fit our schedule were still limited.
That forced us to consider dates we didn't really want. When a membership is supposed to help you plan vacations, having to build the vacation around whatever happens to be available defeats much of the purpose.
Con Royal Holiday mi principal preocupación ahora son las cuotas que siguen acumulándose aunque no siempre podamos aprovechar la membresía como queremos. Al principio uno piensa en las vacaciones que podrá tomar, pero después empiezas a mirar el costo total con otros ojos.
Creo que muchas personas deberían hacer esa cuenta antes de comprar: cuánto pagarás durante varios años y cuántas veces realmente esperas utilizar el beneficio. Esa comparación puede cambiar bastante la perspectiva.
