Vida Vacation Resorts Bliss Resorts/Grand Mayan Costly rip-off Grand Mayan, Mexico Mexico
Like so many others, we were victims of the Vida/Bliss Resort rip off. We attended a sales pitch, bought into the product and have been suprised at every turn. We tried to sell the property back to the resort but werre told that it would cost 10 maintenance fees at $899 each as a transfer fee.
You cannot sell the property, you cannot transfer the property, you are stuck. To make matters worse, when I signed up for the Golf Connections, my cc number was used to make purchases for someone. I ended up having to change my cc.
All in all a bad experience. I will be seeking options to discontinue payment to this company.

Mayan Palace Timeshare Scam

It is the same old story with the Mayan Palace timeshare resorts (owner David Chavez) who does not care about what fraud he perpetrates on timeshare buyers. The same old adage applies, with regard to rental fees applicable, etc. It is fraud and there is right of rescission in Mexico no matter what program you buy, no matter what the horror show salespeople tell you. Heve not met one semi-honest one representing the mayan chain yet. Yes, we got scammed and bought, never again. These are the worst operators in the business. The name of the programs, Mayan Regency, The Dream, Mayan Palace, Grand Mayan, Bliss, Grupo Luxxe change with regard to what they wish to charge. The upshot is if you are down the line in their program name game list you lose benefits. The tiger does not change its stripes. Beware.

Mayan Palace Timeshare Scam

Unfortunately you got hooked into a timeshare presentation; Mayan Palace timeshare resorts are known for particularly hard sell tactics. ALL the transfer companies, car rental companies, etc. are OUTSIDE the airport. The people between Customs and the doors to the outside are almost all timeshare reps (couple of kids trying to make a few bucks hauling luggage for folks also). If you go back to the Riviera Maya do not stop or talk to any of these people until you get outside. If you feel you must be polite just say No gracias and keep walking with your eyes down or straight ahead. Most of them wear these really official looking uniforms and will tell you all sorts of lies, like how you have to show them your transfer papers, etc. Just ignore them and keep going
