Great experience
Melia- Vacation Club
SCAM MELIA
I left there in august of 2016 and they got me into the presentation because they offered me a free 4 day getaway to any melia hotel. well it was a timeshare presentation, they played hardball when we tried to leave and we ended up signing the contract putting 2500 down.
reading reviews and finding out it was a scam they didn't let us cancel, I've been getting the run around email here and they never responded to me. so what i did was cancel my card tell chase it was a total fraud because someone elses name was on my paperwork with my card and they refunded me all of my money. they are still calling asking for their money but i was told ignore them and they will go away. you don't have a deed signed with them it is only a vacation club so they can go on and give it to someone else.
if you look on your credit report they never ran your credit for a loan or nothing and it doesn't appear on your credit report so F them. I'm playing hardball with them and i suggest for everyone else to do the same.

Tricked into purchasing, definitely a waste of time and very deceitful company
Sol Melia Vacation Club - Vacation Ownership Review from South Orange, New Jersey
We were tricked into buying a membership in April 2014 at the caribe tropical in punta Cana. The salespersons lied to us, and failed to mention several rules, feed and restrictions for booking vacations that were not in the contract.
After investing $9k so far in this vacation club, we are trying to book the first trip and have found out that our points expire if we don't use now. They have little availability and what they are offering us as options is ridiculous! To offer one example, we could apply our points on a week off season in our home resort however the all inclusive must be paid separately. The amount we would have to pay is only $800 less than if we just go to Expedia and book the same days at the same hotel, all-inclusive.
It doesn't make any sense that we'd pay a $12k principal and then $905 annual fee in order to get s $800 discount.
Then, there's no way to cancel this!
No one would take it not even for free. Total and complete scam!!

Not no, but *** no. Run don’t give away your money.
No, they don't deserve you as customer.
Never. It is a total bait and switch.
I tried using my point this year and was told I would need to pay 3x what I would pay if I booked as a regular customer.
If I booked online without vacation club it was $2600 using the vacation club would cost me $810* ( 125 a day times 3 people 7 days plus 3 years of points at 900 per year maintenance plus the money we put down) I asked why would I do that and I was told go to the home resort. I dont think anyone wants to go to the same place for 50 years especially since the Palma Real location has removed most of the club members privlages such as private areas.
