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."

La experiencia con Royal Holiday ha sido muy distinta a la que nos presentaron cuando compramos la membresía. Pensábamos que tendríamos mayor facilidad para viajar cada año, pero con el tiempo descubrimos que encontrar disponibilidad en las fechas que realmente necesitamos puede convertirse en un verdadero reto.
Después de tantos intentos, la ilusión inicial terminó reemplazada por incertidumbre. Cada vez que queremos organizar unas vacaciones surge una nueva limitación o una alternativa que no se ajusta a nuestros planes. Esa sensación constante de tener que conformarse es lo que más ha afectado nuestra opinión sobre la membresía.
Con Royal Holiday la frustración no apareció de inmediato; fue creciendo con el tiempo. Cada intento de reservar en fechas que realmente funcionaban para nuestra familia parecía venir acompañado de nuevas limitaciones o alternativas poco atractivas.
Lo que más me hizo replantear la membresía fue darme cuenta de cuánto esfuerzo requería obtener beneficios que originalmente parecían sencillos. Después de varios años, la experiencia está muy lejos de las expectativas con las que comenzamos.
Owning a Royal Holiday membership has become far more complicated than we anticipated when we first signed. We planned trips months in advance, adjusted our schedules around school and work, and still struggled to secure the destinations that originally convinced us to join.
The most discouraging part has been comparing our experience with public booking options. Seeing availability online while being told that member inventory is limited makes it difficult to feel that the membership is providing the advantage we were promised. After several years, the frustration comes less from one incident and more from the repetition of the same obstacles.
When we purchased our Royal Holiday membership, we imagined having dependable vacation options year after year. Instead, we've spent far too much time trying to work around limited availability and reservation challenges. Planning well in advance doesn't always seem to improve the outcome.
The most disappointing part is feeling that the membership requires more flexibility from us than it provides in return. After several years, it's difficult not to compare the experience with simply booking trips independently and wondering whether we would have been better off doing exactly that.
When I joined Royal Holiday, I pictured family vacations becoming easier every year. Instead, we've spent countless hours trying to secure dates that fit our schedule, only to hear that the inventory available to members is extremely limited. It's discouraging when flexibility was one of the biggest selling points.
The most frustrating realization came after comparing availability elsewhere online. Seeing accommodations advertised publicly while we were encouraged to choose different dates made us question whether the membership was delivering the value we had been promised. After several years, it's difficult to recommend it with confidence.
Con Royal Holiday la ilusión inicial fue desapareciendo conforme intentábamos utilizar la membresía con mayor frecuencia. Organizar unas vacaciones familiares se volvió mucho más complicado de lo que imaginábamos debido a la disponibilidad limitada y a los constantes cambios de opciones.
Después de varios intentos fallidos, entendí por qué tantos propietarios buscan alternativas para cancelar o transferir su contrato. Cuando una membresía deja de facilitar los viajes y empieza a complicarlos, es inevitable preguntarse si realmente valió la pena la inversión.
Con Royal Holiday sentí que la verdadera experiencia comienza cuando intentas utilizar la membresía por primera vez. Ahí descubres que muchas fechas son difíciles de conseguir y que algunos procesos son mucho más complicados de lo que imaginabas al momento de comprar.
Después de varios años, la frustración ya no viene por un solo incidente, sino por la repetición de los mismos obstáculos. Es por eso que cada vez veo a más propietarios buscando alternativas para cancelar o salir de su contrato.
Owning a Royal Holiday membership has taught me that buying into a vacation club and actually benefiting from it are two very different things. We've planned trips well in advance, adjusted our schedules, and still struggled to secure the destinations that originally convinced us to join.
The disappointment grows every year because the expectation stays the same while the experience never seems to improve. It's difficult to recommend something when you spend so much time trying to make it work instead of simply enjoying your vacations.
I've owned my Royal Holiday membership long enough to realize that booking the vacations you actually want is often much harder than it should be. Planning several months ahead doesn't always solve the problem, and the alternatives offered rarely resemble what convinced us to join in the first place.
The most discouraging moment came when I found the same destination available through regular travel websites while I was still being told there was nothing for members. Experiences like that make you question whether the membership is delivering the value it originally promised.
Con Royal Holiday la mayor decepción ha sido descubrir que muchas veces la disponibilidad real no coincide con las expectativas que uno tiene al comprar la membresía. Organizamos nuestras vacaciones con bastante anticipación y aun así terminamos enfrentando muchas limitaciones.
Después de varios intentos por resolver la situación, comprendí por qué tantas personas buscan información sobre cancelaciones o alternativas para salir del contrato. Es una experiencia muy distinta a la que imaginábamos cuando decidimos firmar.
