Re: anyone been to this resort? (by Anne H.):

We are currently here in Costa Rica and reading all these comments and blogs, it is very frightening to know we just lost money. We went to this presentation and was "pressured" to get this "trial program" for 5 years and they will buy back before the period ends (minus the tax we paid). All the benefits appeared legit and better than the current timeshare (RCI) we have, so there went the $, knowing we can get the money back since it is just a "trial program". We tried to reverse or cancel the credit card transaction but credit card agent said it already went through and they can't do much about it, that we can talk to these people in sapphire residences/playadelaspalmas and hopefully we can cancel the contract we signed :-(

They now have two resorts in town. The new one is Coco Bay Estates and they are calling the new scam the The Residence Club at Coco Bay, dealing with Interval International and the Luxury Leisure Alliance. They are up to the same tricks I am reading here. I wish I had read this before I purchased and I am currently trying to get my money back. The American owners of Coco Bay seem to be genuinely unaware of the scam being perpetrated at their resort. I ask for your help in contacting them to let them know what they are in for with these scammers/salespeople. Please send them an email telling them about your experiences with these crooks: jr.crdg@gmail.com, jc.crdg@gmail.com and gc.crdg@gmail.com The CRDG is The Costa Rica Development Group and seemed like a legitimate company before these scammers started selling their "fractional ownership". Please help me if you have been wronged by these animals. Thank you.
