Re: anyone been to this resort? (by Doug C.):

We seem to be in a very similar situation as you. I did find a website for Mercury that seemed very comprehensive. I spoke with the rep from Mercury and after asking a lot of questions he told me that they would not inform me that my weeks were being purchased until the end of the year... in which case I would have given them up for nothing and would not even have the option of using them. I might be able to bank some of them but this means I might never get either the rental or use of the weeks. We want to cancel in much the same way you have. How hard have they fought you on this? Are they even responding to your notifications? I am willing to take a hit on my credit if it means not losing our money. Thanks for any info.

Bahia sold us on 5 weeks/every other yr and rent out each week for $2000/wk through a company called Mercury Property. We got home to look up more info on Mercury and there was nothing (red flag). That's when we looked up more info on Bahia Turquesa and saw these postings. We mailed a certified letter to cancel our contract based off of law 7472 art. 40 and the fraud reported along with emailing and faxing the contract cancellation letter to any contact number we were given. The credit card company should hopefully be able to cancel the deposit once we fill out required paperwork, but we plan to take our loses if needed. This is crazy the people have gotten away with scams for so long. FYI- during the signing of the contract, there was no mention of a Cindy Kidd handling anything. I'm not sure if this person now goes by a different name...
