They want more money!!!!
Complaint

Country: Australia
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.

What did your parents do about this? We are interested to know.
Please get in touch with us if there is anyone else out there who has been a victim of the Royal Resort group, and I am sure there are many as we have been told many untruths as well in their sales pitch.

I have the same questions as Polly. We have paid deposit in mid June, and feel we have been misled.What is the name of the affiliated Australian company, I cant even find an ABN or any other reference of company details, , the paperwork we received is based in Indonesia, United Kingdom, Spain, and British Virgin Islands. Please! Any information would be helpful. Zena

We paid nearly $4000 AUD. Our email address is nilpest@ozemail.com.au
Also whats this about phoning the australian securities and investment commision. We were told by our rep that we have a 3 week cooling off period, which we are within.
Please if anyone reads these emails do not join Royal Bali Beach Club.
