Free vacartion?

I found a website on the internet, that offers 4 days and 3 nights in mexico, you only have to pay taxes, so I was curious and asked how could I get the deal and they told me all I have to do is attend a timeshare presentation, they even answered I could get $300 bucks cash if I already had my hotel, sounded like a good deal to me for 90 minutes in a timeshare presentation, have any of you tried this kind of programs?? btw, website is http://www.mexicoforall.com I got these pictures from the guys...

My question would be, do this things work?? I'm on vacation right now and I think I will try and go for the 300 cash deal and see if is worth the time... will let you know later, please give me your reviews

This is the website

Hello Everyone,

Sorry it took me so long to post back, but I was busy spending my 300 bucks, hehe, so this guy named "Frank" picks me up and took me to a small hotel in a town called bucerias, about 30 minutes drive, think the name of the resort is starbay, never heard of it, they were very nice in the reception, took our personal information, both driver's ids, showed credit cards, then a salesperson comes and take us to a little breakfast in a little restaurant near beach, after the breakfast, the usual thing, he showed us the room, my wife loved it, he said all 39 rooms in the little resort are the same size and have the same furniture, really nice, but too big my opinion for a couple with no kids, so after "90" minutes that became about 120, we did not take the deal, so another person comes try to convince us, he even dropped the price about 10k but got the same response from us, as usual, he was triying to get my wife to say yes, but she did not fail on me hehe, so after a few more tries, the guy left the table and they took us to another guy that tried to make us buy a "special vacation plan" for about 2k, that sounded to good to be true, so I passed on that as well, at the end, still being very nice, they took me with another guy called "chava" to get my gifts, really funny guy joking all the time, he gave me my money, 3000 pesos, in exchange terms that's a little bit less than the 300 promised(about 280) but it's ok, then chava called a cab, opened the door for us and that was the end of my timeshare adventure.

In the end, it wasn't a bad experience, I guess I was lucky, I've been in mayan palace and they treat you like crap if you don't want to buy, but those guys were really nice, even when I said no, so that was good, and besides the extra 30 minutes I spent there and the tricky exchange rate(about 20 bucks less) , I got my cash my taxi back and I was able to spend it in tacos and a really funny pirate ship tour... :D and the best part is that I didn't buy anything(product was not for us)...

Hi Mextex,

We stayed at a timeshare resort in Neuavo Vallarta in January and walked north on the beach to Bucerias a few days. Great food, cheap beer and fantastic sunsets, but I'd be a little leary of buying anything there right now. They are building a 2nd. Puerto Vallarta area airport just north of where you were and the town will no longer be a wonderful lay back, sleepy fishing village. Everyone we talked to said Bucerias is what P.V. was 20 years ago. In a few years it'll be beach vendors, and junk shops.
You made a good choice not to buy right now. Besides, timeshares are plentiful on the 2nd market for lots less. That's how we just bought our last one and we love it. Reply to this

I did respond to a call promoting a 5 night 6 days package in Puerto Vallarta for $399 per couple, this was an all inclusive package, and it turned out to be a nice package, yes I did attend a presentation but it was out in the country at a development site, and it wasn't your typical "Timeshare" presentation, so all in all my experience was a good one. So yes they are out there, and yes they are legit. Vivo Mexico Reply to this

I've stayed for free at 3 timeshare condo places in Collingwood, ON, Canada. For some reason, they like to call me and offer 1 or 2 free nights so they can take 90 minutes of my time to sell me on their vacation condo's. The condo's were very nice, but I don't ski, so it's rather pointless, (plus I like Africa and Europe and driving out west, so why would I stay in a ski resort?).

I also attended a sale for camping parks once, that gave me a very nice sleeping bag just for listening. I still have the sleeping bag, and it's very cosy, so that was a good deal too.

These were all fairly local though, not sure I would accept one outside my home country. Reply to this
