QUEJAS de Tiempo Compartido en PUEBLO BONITO

My wife and I attended a Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach on Oct. 21, 2010. The promoter ("promotor turistico") was Felix Ramirez S. ([E-mail] 011-52-624-147-91-95). Felix promised us a $200 credit toward the hotel bill (which was honored) and two $55 sunset cruise tickets (which was also honored). At Sunset, we met Mitch Feld ([E-mail]; 624-142-9999). Mitch was a high-pressure, snake oil salesman. I had no interest in buying, but wanted to complete all obligations to receive our gifts. Mitch, 53, originally from Palm Desert, CA (can't miss him--squirreliest hands you'll ever shake, and the worst cologne ever), told us so many gems it was crazy. In no particular order, here are the best--(1) you make money--upwards of $1200 a year--just by buying the TS and renting it back; (2) the Sunset TS is the best one behind Hawaii, and you can use your weeks anywhere in the world for ridiculously low prices; (3) when the Sunset catering manager got on our golf cart, he asked how many buffet items are offered "because [I] just lie about the number everytime I talk about it, and want a real total;" (4) Mitch had no office [just shared a common cafeteria called "Sales Room 3"], no Pueblo email, no business card, and no brokerage license nor an international brokerage license, and (5) as friendly as he was, when I told him I would think about it, he said I either buy that day or forget it; when I told him to forget, we were promptly and rudely shown the door. Also beware that Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday are the prime targets for these promoters to get you to the TS presentation, and EVERYONE is in on it--concierge, bellboy, poolboy, bartenders, even some of the shop owners downtown. Mitch had one fact which I took for truth--that 0.0063 of people who walk out of the resort don't come back to buy timeshares. Maybe we can get that same number to people who walk through the door in the first place if they read more posts and blogs like these.

Was a victim of high pressure sales pitch at Pueblo Bonito in Cabo. Everything the salesperson told us were lies. They used gifts and alcohol to persuade us to buy. I can't believe I got scammed and now they are telling me I can't get out of it. They even gave us certificates for rooms at one of their resorts and told us it was on them and then turned around and charged us for the rooms! I was wondering what it would cost to get out of this thing and if you guys could help? I was taken advantage of!!!

Time share at Pueblo Bonito Sunset. At check in I was asked to sign up for a "welcome presentation/tour" for following day which I learned it was a timeshare sales. My credit card was charged for the amount of $6500 initially and told by the sale representative that I can cancel at the end of the day in order to qualify for promotions/gifts. I requested the credit card be reversed and was then asked to sign another document for this to happen and I was getting tired, was at the tour from 9 to 5:00pm,- trying to leave the place with my credit card and driver license. On the next day, I attempted to find the sale representation or sales manager for cancellation but failed to find anyone to assist me as the other sales represent claimed " we don't have anyone to help you right now." The fact is that I was not informed of my right to cancel in 5 days. And I was at the resort on my second day of stay. I have no access to the computer and unaware of their trick to delay my cancellation process. I already filed a dispute claim with credit card company for the amount of $2700.

I'm sorry to say that most of you should be blaming yourselves for not doing your homework.   I love going to the Pueblo Bonito and the Montecristo, but i would never buy there, just because its OBVIOUSLY a hugely bad investment.  You can't blame others for your bad decisions and when you sign a contract, you sign a contract.   Many of you are talking about "getting the freebies".    You go on vacation for freebies???   Really???    Thats whats wrong with the USA.... too many people who dont take responsibility for their actions and want something for nothing.    I hope you all learned your lesson

I was just scammed by Pueblo Bonito into buying a new time share. They promised to sale my old timeshare, however this was a lie. I have not heard anything from them and they are ignoring my phone calls.

We bought fractional ownership at Montecristo Estates in Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach at Cabo San Lucas last October.It was presented to me and my husband as an investment opportunity and 100% rental,it will pay for itself.Was also told will be able to sell existing timeshare and will use the monies for payment of the downpayment.My husband was sold on this but me,it took awhile realizing we can't afford this financial responsibility but against my better judgement and high pitch sales pressure and him repeating over and over it's a guaranteed rental,I signed the contract.I was told to I can't change my mind since it's a foreclosed property.Fast foreward ,came back in US and did my own research,found out that there's no market for timeshare.

My Maint. fee has gone from $320 to over $500 per year in 7 years. I am willing to just loose the whole TS and stop paying the fee. Does anyone know if they will try to force you to pay or screw up your credit?
Not Worth It!

we purchased a two week alternating year timeshare at Monticrisco. We tried to resind prior to the 5day period, but were rejected by our sales person. We only found out about the resind option after talking to other individuals. no one from the Pubelo Bonita Sunset told us about this option. We made a 12,000 deposit and have written several letters to the resort and have NEVER had a response. We also refused to pay our maintence fee and also indicated our in ability to continue. We have never used the resort. We would like to be allowedto have the contract resinded and our deposit returned.

I have already paid more than $28,000.00 and want out of this 30 yrs contract because it was a complete fraud . They lied about everything including the 1 free week they had promised for 30 yrs but now the contract states that is is for only 6 free weeks during the whole 30 yrs

It amazes me how many people talk about getting scammed on here.  It is common sense what time share sales people are paid to do....didn't anyone ever remember to think before you sign and READ ALL the fine print and perphaps do your homework and use GOOGLE to decide whether to buy or not???  Montecristo is absolutely beautiful and 5 star all the way around!  I'm VERY aware NEVER to buy a TS here, since all you have to do is go online and purchase time from an owner who isn't able to use it and you pay almost nothing when you can factor in bringing family and guests and offsetting the price.  The maintanence is very high and will keep going up every year...this is how they keep the grounds and villa's clean.  DO YOUR HOMEWORK PEOPLE....don't blame pushy salespeople for your own stupidity.  I would NEVER sign a contract until at least 1 day  later...that is always a rule for me.  NO ONE could ever pressure me to do anything...especially a couple hundred dollar hotel credit.
