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.

I purchased a time share at Grand Mayan in Los Cabos . I tried to call and cancel today and they will not give it to me in writing via email, although I have spoken with several individuals. They were very nice to 'mail me' my contract rather than give it to me, only now do I realize that the cancellation paperwork is contained within this contract. This has been a very difficult situation. I have given them $20,000 and received no goods or services from their facility.
I enrolled on a membership sold by Mayan Palace in Cancun I paid $2,000 for membership for . To this day I have not received any paper work about such membership. I contacted the resort an the salesperson no longer works there. I have asked for a refund and have gone back and forth and Im getting tired.
hace 5 años compramos una membresia, en Mayan palace, pero desde hace año y medio detuvimos los pagos, estamos teniendo probelmas economicos y nunca hemos utilizado la membresia, cuando compramos nos garantizaron rentar nuestras semanas por una muy buena suma de dinero, por mas de 3 años estuvimos esperando a que esto sucediera y como muchas quejas aqui pasamos por la misma situación, ya les dijimos que ibamos a demandarlos y aún asi no les importó se niegan a regresarnos nuestro dinero.
I do believe in "what goes around, comes around", and their day is coming around.
How do they even sleep at night, knowing that they cheat and lie to people on a daily basis in order to make their sale. They don't even care how their lies impact the unsuspecting victims of their greed. When found out, and presented with the facts of their lying to make the sale, they lie some more, and tease you with a possible refund but then they pull out of their hats, the "we will refund you only half of what you have paid to purchase it". WTF!!!! Who does that????? That's called "negotiating".
we bought a timeshare at the Mayan in Nuevo Vallarta on May 25. Now we got our package and find out what we had been promised is not true at all.sales rep does bait and switch. Now I want my money and contact cancelled. Can we still get out?
Purchased on June 10, 2011 Mayan Palace, Vallarta under the guarentee of $95,000 for 5 weeks of time share we currently have. Further research leads us to believe we have been scammed. We have filed a dispute with our Visa company but nothig happened yet.
Hace algunos dias un representante de Mayan Palace me enbaucó en cambiar mi propiedad de Mayan Palace a Grand Mayan, pagando una diferencia aprox. de 30 mil dlls. El vendedor ejerció presion para que firmara el contrato, y que desde un inicio no estuve convencida, y decidí cancelarlo. Se ingresó la solicitud de cancelación de dicho contrato dentro de los 5 dias y 2 dias después recibí una llamada el vendedor diciendo que no podía cancelar, porque si lo hacía automaticamente estaba perdiendo mi membresía actual de mayan palace. Que puedo hacer en este caso?... me urge saber que tengo que hacer antes de que pase mas tiempo y se pueda complicar el proceso de cancelación.
El tiempo compartido es una inversion estupida, porque lo que compran su valor es 6 veces menor señores, pueden cancelar sus contratos ante profeco estan cubiertos, pero es una mafia internacional, ellos manipulana los gobiernos con los millones de dolares que se les da de regalo anualmente.
How can we recoup our deposit paid for a timeshare with Grand Mayan, Playa del Carmen which we no longer want to pursue, and avoid any further costs?????
I purchased a vacation club package May 16, 2011 from Grand Mayan for $5600. After seeing all the scam stories on internet I am interested in canceling my contract. They told me the same lies and I´m afraid that I have been scammed too
