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.

    Dear Polly,

    I know its very stressful for you. Please don't waste your hard earned money by paying them more installments. Let know your bank about this fraud. If you want you can lodge complain with Australian Securities. As its owner is Australian and fund is coming to Australian company...

    We fell for the same scam in Phuket in 2008 paid, had 2 free weeks in Koh Samui ,2 weeks in Pattaya, then we where told the price went up gave us no choice but to pay we did , haven't used it since as we can never get in when we want to in Bali even though it says you can use it all over the world. Haven't paid maintenance fee for 2 years now as I get emails from them but I can't reach them by email as the email address is wrong. This was with RCI then they changed names to QLIFE vacation and wellness club. IT IS ALL A BIG SCAM .

    We also paid up and joined. We went and saw them in March to try to get our money back and it was hopeless. The places in Goa which we have been to, are run down holes. We were also shown a lovely place in Bali. The Goa hotel was rubbish, bed horrible, water run down wall, lamp broken and I have seen better crockery in a backpackers. We also stayed in the Changmai one and it was so isolated. if you wanted to go to town it cost$50.
    We have tried to get places through RCI and nothing is ever available.
    Wished we had never been sucked in but the guy was so convincing and as we travel a lot we thought this would be perfect.

    Also recently purchased royal membership while in Bali. An absolute waste of money, I will be posting on every forum to let people know about this scam that is cheating people out of their hard earned money. Royal Group will wish they never came across me as much as I wish I never came across them.

      Jason.. Stop making full to public. It looks like you are working for karma group. If it seems pretty well to you, everyone on this forum is ready to sell their membership to you and your friends.. Use it.

      Please guys don't pay any further installment. Its big cheater company. Its so hard to earn money.. Don't waste it.

    Sigh.... I was sooo close to sign in with them today.. Never really thought its a scam since they really have properties such as karma kandara etc. they gave me voucher free 7 nights to stay at one of the royal hotel group in all over the world. And also a voucher of 100.000idr to be used at bebek bengil restaurant. But we did use the restaurant voucher and its a valid one.

    But i dont know about the free hotel voucher. Do you guys think i could redeem it?
