Common Complaints:
Salesperson offers a guaranteed buyout of a previously owned timeshare through one of their resale companies. Their resale companies have in house representatives and make the impression that they are one company. Luxury Vallarta Rentals was the former company, but that company has gone out of business, so they are now referring clients to High End Rentals. The difference between Grand Miramar and other resorts is that the broker fee seems to be paid through Grand Miramar directly, and is often a much higher amount (ie. $3000 - $5000)
The salesperson offers in house financing at a low introductory rate. When the client returns home they realize that the financing is actually a Bank of America visa card, which has been charged for the full amount of the timeshare. This is Grand Miramar’s method of ensuring that they get paid in full for the timeshare. Bank of America is typically unresponsive to disputes as a valid contract has been signed.
Some clients think that they are purchasing a Grand Miramar contract, when in fact they are purchasing a Platinum Access Marketing contract which does not seem to have the same rights for owner's as a regular timeshare contract.

well i heard that Richard had a warrant out for his arrest who no's maybe true we have been getting calls again about selling our timeshare but every body wants money up front i don't think so also they say a Carlos Slim is wanting to buy the property and needs us owners to sell our time share so far six different company's have called but they all have the same thing to say they want money up front has any one else been getting these calls.
I guess everyone has given up trying to get their money back and put Richard Bounds in jail where he belongs
Like the rest of you, we got scammed by Richard, Legacy Centurion and DD Woodward. Now we have received a call from Salvador Mendoza Maldonado who provides an ID, says he is a lawyer and works for Mendoza Associates in Mexico and representing the new buyer of the Grand Miramar. Another call came from Roberto Montano who says he is a broker working for a new company in Chicago named Independent Consultants and providing owner names to Salvador. They provide a large purchase offer and require an up front 10% assignment fee. We would support any lawsuit.
Has any one heard from independent consultants out of Chicago Il. they want to buy our time share for a Mr. Carolos Slims who is going to buy up the Grand Miramar sounds like another scam to me.
I was contacted by Alfredo Holmes with Royal Event Planners. He said they are located out of Alabama. Per the FCC they sent out a person to the address they are using. The FCC determined that this company is not located at the address they provided. Alfredo advised that the funds for the buyout would be out in an escrow account and we would have to come up with 8% in order to move forward with the sale. After all the issues with Grand Miramar, I'm very skeptical of this company (RoyalTrips and Event Planners). Had anyone moved forward with this offer? If so, did they pay you?
My contract has been tied up because I refused to sign the" I'm happy with the service" letter and am being blackmail that nothing will be done on my agreement until I do.
I've asked question and get passed on to Supervisor who don't seem to exist as you never get an answer.
Has any one gotten a e-mail from the vacation property shop they claim that the owners of the Grand Mirmamar want to negotiate a fair price for our time share that all the complaints are hurting their hotel I for one will consider a fair price BUT no money up front Richard and Vivian have taken all I am going to give let us know if you get a e-mail
Has any one ever got any money back from the gran Miramar i wonder if Vivian Lewis and Richard done are still there.
We were contacted by Edward Hughes from Birmingham Alabama stating he was a broker. Next we were contacted by Mendoza claiming to be a lawyer. They both stated that they would get over $142,000.00 US back for us. First they wanted us to pay over $14,000.00 US in fees. Birmingham better business state that there is no business at the address that Hughes stated he was at. I told him that. Haven't heard from him since.Richard Bounds and his wife are on YouTube.com Karina Michelle. Say yes to the flower girl dress .They are in Mexico City
