Will make this short and sweet, I hope.
Bought a timeshre in 2006, havent been able to use it as husband works away. We were shown a resort we were told we could use as we didnt like the one we were buying into. So.... we try and use it two years later, and find out that they want us to pay $410 a  night per person ontop of the $10,000USD we have paid to stay anywhere. They dispute they showed us this resort, they dispute they didnt tell us we had to pay more once they admitted we were shown the resort. And so the saga goes on. We have been told we can have 2 free weeks there, which will come to the equivalent of the price we paid originally. Why would we want to do that, it doesnt solve the problem of having to pay more if we want a holiday there. Now we wait as we want out of this whole sorry mess. It leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. Husband is retiring this month and we thought we would be able to use our RCI membership without doubt as we bought into the higher levels of timeshare. Tried to find a place to go before February 2009, we have been told there is nothing on our side of the world. So we cant use the Royal Bali Club we cant use RCI. Well we can if we forever pay more, what was the point of paying into something we thought we would have for life and no more expense apart from air travel.
So people out there, beware Royal Bali Club and RCI. The directors and President must be laughing all the way to the bank.

    I have been a member of the Royal Bali Club for 7 years. I have stayed at the resort 5 times and had many wonderful holidays. Last year I took my Grand Children to Disneyland in Florida all through RCI. This year I have booked a trip around the UK staying for 6 weeks - all confirmed again through RCI (there was only 1 resort I wanted that I could not get into)
    I am sorry to hear that you are having problems, I would ring RCI or even Royal as they always have places available last minute - might not be what you ideally want, but close to it. All the best

      HI i read your comments, and we have only paid the deposit. You said it may not be exactly what you want but you can get close. WE were told that we could get exactly what we wanted no high season or low season, we could get a room for 7 nights for $149 and a villa fer up to 8 people for $499, is that true???

      Thanks

      I think you are a part of karma royal team,your testimony just act like you are never been cheathing before,therefore many people out there lost at least 15,000,000 rupiahs or 15,000 us $,anyway your team collect money with good way,how could this happend?first your company ask if do you have master card?the person who hold this card must have at least 50,000 us $ so you know already before doing presentation to persue the have guest and the end of your goal you want to sweap the card?aren`t you.?secondly if you are really happy with the member,you must be don`t have a time to write don`t recomendation comment don`t you?because you are enjoying your holiday somewhere in royal hotel in the world this time.

          We were held for 2 hours with hard sales. We had an appointment to keep so had to leave. They were not happy. Next day read all bad info on internet. I would never touch any of them. I consider we were lucky to escape with our money.  I also told them I wanted time to look over paperwork. That put a very worried look on the salesman.

          I had just been called to attend their preview in Jakarta this sunday. Not quite sure is it true or not, since they kept convincing us that once we get there, we have to show our credit card but it won't be swiped nor noted. So I'm questioning myself too whether it's a scam or not... So any info please..??? Thank you..

              we paid $20,000 usd up front while in Bali in June-we now know this is a complete scam and want our money back. We were given no cooling off period and also never shown any of the hotels as promised.

              Very upset

              does anyone know how to get our money back

                  What would happen if you don`t pay your maintenance fees and just walk away from it. Can they chase you for the money owing. Cheers Dean

                Hello, we returned from Bali last week and are feeling sick with worry as we realise we have made a big mistake too.  We were also not shown hotels or given cooling off period.  Can you give us any advice based on information or feedback you have received since posting on ComplaintWire please.  Any guidance you can provide would be very much appreciated!
