Went down for a presentation, found it fishy when they want you to decide on the day. They will work out a very attractive installment plan for you and the strange thing is, whatever is your budget, they can get it done...

They look extreme "con"vincing when they present to you but if you take time to work out the sum and research online, you will find that it is not a good deal at all.
e.g. Islander Resort hotel(gold coast)3stars cost around USD70 if you book online(@holidaycity.com) the extra advantage is USD120 for 3 nights and with the booking fee of USD40/night. It means that you r paying USD80/night under extra advantage!!! this is even more expensive compare to online booking. Not forgetting that you pay for the entrance fee (8k>)and yearly maintenace $350. No wonder they call it extra advantage!! Extra Income to them!!

Here comes the best part, when you did your sum and finally say NO!!! Their faces changed!! Say you r wasting their time etc.

Therefore, make yr own judgement, it is ultimately yr money and most importantly, never be afraid to say NO!!

Heard about this company somewhere last year. went down to their presentation and somehow a bit interested as they r linked to hotels instead of resorts like other timeshare comapany. but still didnt take up in the end cos got other committment. Then they start to talk to you in a different tone. Really bad impression. btw the subscription fee that time was around $250 and was amazed that it increases to $350 within a year.
