How they operate
Normally, a Mayan Palace timeshare scam occur in the following way: Many people claim a sales person offers to have a long chat especially with American couples about how wonderful is to share a private place to stay every time you come to Mexico and give you a tour on the units that are supposed to be available for timeshare. Turns out people obtain a really different unit.
The sales person will never inform you of the 5 day period you have to cancel the purchase contract. Not to mention, they lie that the contract cannot be voided after it is signed. Which is a major typical indicator of the Mayan timeshare scam.
They also tend to persuade the client to level up in the resort membership, in case the client is not enrolled in one, the sales person will push them to become members at least.
They will ask if they own another timeshare that they no longer use and will tell them that Mayan Palace will sell it to lower the price of the current timeshare that the client is buying, but in reality they let people end up with the debt of both timeshares.
If you’ve been a victim of such a thing as a mayan palace timeshare scam, you can agree with most people that complained about the pressure they put you under.
Re-selling of timeshare scam
Even in the re-selling of properties, the mayan timeshare scams continue to be a great topic on review blogs.
The reselling fraud happens when a scammer contacts you by phone (most of the time) to claim they have someone interested in buying your timeshare at that moment. So they ask you to transfer money to cover sale expenses such as fees for the resale company or maintenance fees.
Only for you to end up stuck with the timeshare and scammed with thousands of dollars on the “fees” you paid for
Besides checking on the Mayan palace timeshare reviews, we advise owners to be wary of the following situations which may lead to fraud.
· Service offers made by a reseller, if it promises a significant return on the sale especially.
· A resale company that says the area of your property is in high demand and has an incredible number of potential buyers looking for timeshare units.
· A reseller who promises to modify or cancel the owner's contractual obligation to the complex in which the timeshare property is located.
The following tips will help you protect your investment if planning on buying a Mayan Palace timeshare:
Look up the reseller’s name on the web and check his background. Click on official sources for complaints about the person. Also Mayan palace timeshare reviews can help you on this one.
Ask about the promotion and strategies of advertising the reseller will do on the unit. Make sure you will be involved in the process and receiving reports. If they are simply publishing the unit on a resale list, it might not be worth it doing business with him.
One sign of a serious deal is a reseller who charges fees after the timeshare sale. If they ask you to pay an upfront fee, make sure you’ll getting a refund for it in the future. Always ask for the fees beforehand.
Get everything in writing. Read the contract carefully to ensure that it matches the verbal promises you have received. It should include the services that the reseller will run, as well as the fees they will have to pay and when. If the deal is not what you expected or wanted, do not sign the contract.
Always take your time to read the full documents before signing a contract and don’t let the sellers or resellers, put you under pressure, which is typical of the mayan timeshare scams as you can learn in the reviews.
We invite you to read the following Mayan Palace timeshare reviews and share your experiences with Mayan Palace timeshare.
We purchased a Grupo Mayan vacation ownership package December 23st, 2008. We have paid our contract in full as of February 2009. We are slowly learning that this was not a good investment as we were lead to believe. We would love to be able to recover the money we have lost but are finding it impossible to find a company or person to trust
Last year I bought a time share in mexico and have not received all that they promised me. All I want is my money back and get out of this contract
Mayan Palace signed contract recently and cancel within five days but getting no response on the reimbursement of my money. Contract has nothing of the verbal promises offered by the sales rep.
We purchased at Mayan Palace. We were shown and promised a high quality room, but when we went to stay, we were given a different room, much lower quality. Evidently, the rooms will not look like what we were sold until after remodeling sometime in the future.
Good Morning, I am seeking for your assisntance in the cancellation and possible refund of the monies paid to a timeshare resort calles Grand Bliss. This company took over 35,000 with false promises explained in your website. None of the promises given by this company are real. We were scammed and need to recover as much as possible.
Thank you.
While in Acapulco in April, 2008 we traded our Florida Timeshare and $9680. for Mayan Resorts ACA. It's over 2 years later and we have no deed or title to our Acapulco transaction and they still haven't recorded the deed for our Florida timeshare. With the first timeshare still in our name, we are responsible for the taxes & maintainance fees. We have an equity exchange agreement along with the other documents. I would like to have these contracts cancelled, get our $9680 back and stick with our original timeshare. I do not trust Mayan Resorts. I talked to this "Jenny" from Mayan yesterday and she said there were 20 other owners that didn't have their deeds recorded. She said she will be emailing me a document to fill out. I don't trust anything they do or say, I don't want to deal with them because I don't trust them. The employees and the owners should be kept in jail.
My friend and I purchased a Mayan palace timeshare, when we arrived at home my friend saw several negative comentarios on the internet, so we decided to call to cancel our timeshare, we were out of our 5 rescission period, we don’t know what to do now, we have been calling to the resort but they always say that our salesman and the sales manager are not available and they never return our our calls.
I have a timeshare with Mayan Palace that I was scammed into about 8 years ago. I tried to cancel while I was there because they promised all kind of things. I have paid for the actual timeshare and have paid 7 years worth of fees. Then came the hidden charges of one years maintenance fee for improvements every 5 years. I have stopped paying. They have just sent an invoice threatening to send it to collections. I want out! what can I do? Also, the company they recommended (Sierra Resales and Rentals) and took payment to rent out my weeks has never rented a week. Nor have they been able to sell it. I believe they are also a scam.
My wife and I attended to a Mayan palace presentation on march, we signed a contract, the salesman told us that we can make money through our Mayan palace timeshare, we have never hear about that , so we thought that it could be possible. What a surprise, they always use that tactics to sell a timeshare and all the words that they say are false promises… too late for us.
On June, 2010 we were given misleading information from Grand Mayan (Los Cabos) and made the purchase. Upon ariving home we began trying to plan our next vacation and found nothing we were told was true. Their sister company, Imperial Property Management is asking for $349 to list our weeks. This is not what we agreed on. We were told this company would rent our weeks and we were to receive the money in 90 days.
