Buying a Timeshare at Villa del Arco

Oct 26, 2007

The salesperson will tell you that by signing the contract you CAN't get your MONEY(deposit) back. When in fact you can, on the back of your contract #14 is stated your cancellation rights with no penalty, you have 5 days. Buyer Beware.

If you change your mind and they try to bully you, or say you waived your right to cancel when you signed something, do NOT believe it! Call PROFECO I(Federal Consumer Protection agency in Mexico). They can and WILL help you and you can get out of the contract if you act within 5 business days.

When I bought my time share I got two weeks...one regular and one bonus...both for the duration of the share. If I resale can I sell for both weeks?

The bonus week goes with the timeshare when you sell resale if it is a gold membership.

If I decide that I no longer want my timeshare, can I just not pay the maintenance fees to forfeit the contract or am I obligated to sell my timeshare.?

FIRST BEWARE VILLA touts their terrific SAN DIEGO interaction with owners. Yet after a certified letter , nine emails and three calls to the ''office '' eg. resort, nevada , s.diego... 67 days later we spoke to someone in authority.

2. im currently in a prime San Diego time share resort. their in house specialist. Licensed broker. ... has never heard of the villa group of San Diego.?>?

3. THEY CANCELLED OUR contract , charged and disputed on a credit card.... NO dispute on Villa' s part. Now, Villa told chase bank, FORGET IT NO money returned even on a cancelled contract. B E W A R E...

"Magnifique!"

Ma mère et mon beau-père ont une multipropriété ici à la Villa del Arco, et ils nous ont apporté (moi, mon mari et nos deux enfants) pour des vacances. Les gars nous laissent juste changer leurs vêtements sur leurs dos dans l'avion, et a sauté à droite dans les piscines pour enfants et des fontaines. Les jardins sont magnifiques, de nombreuses piscines, dont une avec une cascade, et un autre avec un bateau de pirate énorme dans le milieu (Il fonctionne aussi comme une cafétéria!). Les chambres sont spacieuses, meublées avec goût, avec un lit et un service de ménage quotidien. En outre, une petite collation tous les après-midi est venu à notre chambre, elle était parfois gâteau, autre était chocolat. Nous sommes allés à la station sœur, Villa del Palmar, la plupart des nuits pour le dîner et le divertissement. Ma fille a adoré participer au spectacle et a voulu revenir constamment à danser sur scène! La nourriture était correcte, des trucs bizarres, mais généralement assez bon (surtout le dessert). Les petits déjeuners à deux stations étaient assez similaires ... je préférais l'ambiance de la firme Del Palmar, et mon mari, de Arch. Nous avons nagé tous les jours pour mon fils de 2 ans a adoré l'eau! Il y avait beaucoup de familles en vacances, ma fille (4) fait beaucoup de "vacances entre amis" et avait un souffle nager et jouer avec eux. A Del Palmar avait un itinéraire pour les enfants (mais n'a finalement pas utiliser) et un endroit où vous pouvez choisir et peindre vos propres céramiques, les enfants ont adoré! Il ya aussi un tram gratuit qui vous ramène en arrière entre les frères stations ... Cependant, quand mon fils dans une poussette, nous avons réalisé qu'il était généralement plus facile de marcher, qui était très bien car ils sont assez proches. A été globalement une escapade en famille!

I am considering buying a resale contract that is supposedly Villa del Arco. But as I research it looks like you really get a membership to reserve at any of the Villa Group mexico properties, and do have any priority at Villa del Arco.

Not sure I like this. any help?

It is a Gold Membership with 2 Winter Weeks in 2 bedroom unit.

You are absolutely correct. You are not buying an ownership at villa del arco. You are buying a Universal Vacation Ownership. When I owned one, Del Arco was fairly new and you had to book a year or more out. With a Gold Winter you can use it all year long but February and March are wonderful in Cabo.

run for the northern border...usa... Trump just finally paid out... on his swindle in mexico.

the ARCO seems invisible... now we find AAA club is booking hotel rooms at the BAJA area resort... so timeshare owners good luck in finding ANY reservation.

we re just suing to get back our deposit. the contract was finally cancelled by a non-licensed usa representative. our contract didnt match the term sheet, a FRAUD. RUN FAST. YOU may not get the beauty you see.

Hi,

I am in the process of canceling my contract in which I was able to do within the 5 business day period, but they are refusing to refund my deposit back due to the "liquidated damages" clause they have in the contract stating that they may keep all money paid up to date. Do you have any advice on how I can potentially get my deposit back??
