I was cold called to promote a Time Share opportnuity. I had just come home from Aruba and thought it was the legitimate company I had spoken with so I was excited to tour their property. I was promised 2 bedroom/2 bathroom accomodations along with a 2 night stay in Dayton, 2 days in Miami and 2 days in Cancun. It sounded like a sweet deal.

Shortly after I called to make reservations and nothing was availabe for the many dates I requested.I also started to inquire about the accomodations in Daytona, Miami and Cancun. The clerk became uncomfortable and could not provide that info. I became nervous and called my credit card to dispute the charges. It was not possible.

Next I planned to take my children for spring break and hope for the best. I made a reservation and for soem reason looked at the reviews on Trip Advisor and learned that the place was a dump, was being investigated and had bed bugs. I was horrified but the reservation was made. I called the resort and was promised clean, safe and accomodations in a hotel not at Calypso Cay. I called the night before I left to confirm everything was set. It wasnt. When I arrived the Calypso CAy was a 1 star motel complex not the beautiful 5 star resort I was promised. It was the old BAIT AND SWITCH. I was told that I could not see a room before giving my credit card and ID. I asked to speak to a manager and was escorted to an unkept private room far from the lobby. The woman (who was not the manager) told me she could not show me a room or return my money. She brought the next manager who told me the same thing and became very aggressive. 

I was not given correct information about thei place and then learned it was a scam by googling more information. Many people have been cheated out of money. 

Please see reviews at Trip Advisor and read the article about this place as a bait and switch money making operation
