Hi! I’m planning to go on my honeymoon! I was wondering if you recommend this resort for us two? How was your overall experience? I was just worried that is very close to male and I was wondering if the water is crystal clear as if you would go to a farest hotel.

Not sure how much further resorts are in terms of water clearness, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Amingiri and wish we could’ve stayed longer. The time of year is quite important for good weather. If you have the points/free nights use it at Waldorf Maldives as well, they both have high wow factors though Waldorf is more expensive to get to.

One trick that I heard of that was genius, say you price shop and you get a hotel for $80 a night. No matter how they crunch the numbers they can't make it look like you're getting a deal.

If you say that they’ll say you can’t get rooms like these, which are suites/2 bedrooms. They basically have a script and have a response to everything you say. They didn’t have a response to if you say you want to travel somewhere remote that doesn’t have any of their resorts.

IMHO... Never had a rep EVER call me stupid. So IDK what you're talking about on that. Timeshare is NOT for everyone, especially if you're not actually traveling 2-3 times a year with kids. If you're just a couple with no kids... I wouldn't do it at all. Timeshare can be confusing but once you really grasp HOW it works and how to make it work for YOU.... it's awesome. When we did the math on how much we pay annually plus all the other perks and discounts vs how much we would actually spend for what we get/got for a full week... it was almost equal but I didn't have to come up with all the money at one time. So it's like prepaying or paying for your vacation monthly. We did a video on it, here's a link (if it doesn't work, go to our page and the video is "WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE OWNING A TIMESHARE" give it a watch). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5aHfaimyc6yh5c.htmlsi=hmGwCvnMTK3NSZk8

If there was a deal where you pay a one time fee from 20.000$ to 50.000$ to get in a Hilton club where you get to pay 2.000$, 2.500$ per month for a months stay in any Hilton hotel across the world, and you get free laundry service and free breakfast +wifi that would be a game changer! I would basically buy that Club membership and travel the world staying one month per country in every country where there is a Hilton hotel!!! But the 20.000 to 50.000 must be the level of membership, where 20.000 is normal room and 50.000 is a suite, Fk I would maybe pay 100.000$ for the membership to get the biggest best executive king suite available! That would be awesome. I would reserve the planes and hotels a year in advance to get the best trip possible, 12 countries in a year one month in each lol.

How to cancel right away, and get out of a contract you must write a letter and send it certified mail or in person within the State timelines. For example this is the letter I wrote from a timeshare in Las Vegas …. to whom it may concern at DEVELOPERS or SELLERS NAME. My husband NAME and I NAME had sent by certified mailed our cancellation within our 5 days grace period as per Nevada Revised Statues 119A.410 We would like to rescinded our contract by canceling contract number 123456 we had purchase with the developer. example: Eldorado Resorts Corp. located at 2150 West Jo Rae Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89183. Unfortunately after reading through the contract, we concluded we will not be able to afford having a timeshare. Enclosed are copies of the cancellation letter and notarized letter that was sent vial certified mail United States Postal Service. Please advise how soon we should expect our cancellation notice and our full refund of our payment in regards to Contract number 123456

Hilton diamond means next to nothing in USA though. There’s rarely any upgrades, many executive lounges never reopened after Covid, even late checkout is not guaranteed. It’s vastly different overseas, where I’m constantly upgraded to suites, 4 pm late checkout, and amazing buffets in the executive lounge.

Lmao imagine going to timeshare presentations as a way to vacation. Not only can you take away from an oppourtunity from a fellow human trying to feed their family, (selling timeshare doesnt make you a pos when there are tons of people enjoying the heck out of their timeshares) you have to waste a few hours of your day trying to not look like you're not just money tight, which everyone knows you are or you wouldnt be subjecting you and the girl you love to this entire situation. If you need that much help for a few nights in vegas maybe you should go in with at least an open mind, those timeshares are built for regular familes to be able to vacation consistantly. And hilton has a lot of good reviews and hasnt gotten any heat in the media for shady sales practises like wyndham and other brands

The room I’ve gotten at Elara was worth $400 a night, multiplied by 4 nights is $1600. Takes most people around 40 hours to make that much if you average $40/hour after tax. I’m out of the timeshare meeting in 90-120 minutes. I agree there’s plenty of people making great use out of their timeshares, but to do it year after year until you’re dead is a hassle. Their business model makes a lot of money not because most people are getting full value out of it, it’s because most people aren’t getting anywhere close to that.

I would highly recommend to cancel your reservation immediately! My wife and I are here right now and it’s pretty bad. From service to the food and having to make reservations that you can’t always get. The power just went out in the whole resort like 30 minutes ago and still out. We regret booking here and wish we we back to the Dominican Republic Punta Cana secrets cap cana. Accessibility is so bad here. They make you rely on the staff for everything like getting drinks at the buffet. And they take forever to bring your drinks. I finished my food before getting anything to drink. The pools are extremely small for such a massive resort. It honestly makes no sense. Why have a resort that holds so many people yet you can’t accommodate them accordingly. Btw we just got here on Monday will be stuck here for a total of 12 days unfortunately. Wish we could get our money back and switch resorts like switching a phone service. Save yourself the trouble of going here. Also we ordered room service which you will have to wait at least 1hr for it to arrive. It took 2hrs for our order to arrive in addition to the 1 hr. So a total of 3hrs when when it came the order was wrong and they dropped it. So had to wait another 30-40 min for our food. There are so many other things I could talk about. I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to stay here!!!!!

You need to use them at Waldorf’s and Conrad’s, especially overseas, to get your money’s worth. Also using them on busy weekends where the cash rate shoots up but points stay the same is where you can get a lot more than .05/pt

Most of the negative reviews I’ve seen with timeshares mostly deal with the high pressure sales pitch. Ironically the only timeshare I’ve come across that doesn’t try to get you into a meeting and coax you into a sale was Disney vacation club. On that one you have to go to them and request a “tour”. Then they give the sales pitch. They also were the only timeshare that I felt was the most honest. Also it was the only time share that wasn’t in perpetuity and has a sunset date. We ultimately purchased club Wyndham, did so direct so we could get vip status. The only Issue I have with the club Wyndham is it’s in perpetuity, or forever unless you do a certified buy back which essentially is you give them back the timeshare for free. Which assuming we use it for the amount of time we anticipate I’m fine with. Why did we want a time share? Due to the size of our family mostly, we are a family of 6 so most of the time we are basically buying 2 rooms or suites. Our Disney vacation last year cost us 4 times as much for the room as our tickets to the parks. Not only that but timeshare rooms typically are much nicer and roomy compared to normal rooms. Finally I’ll say that timeshares aren’t for everyone, and almost always buying direct is never a good deal. The only reason we bought club Wyndham direct is we got a “good” deal since they knew we were doing a direct comparison to Disney vacation club. They basically offered the exact same price on the DVC paperwork we had with us. But most of the time if you want a timeshare it’s best to buy resale. You won’t get all the perks you would buying direct but you’ll save a ton of money. Club Wyndham for example is selling on resale sites for a penny a point and some contracts I seen for free except closing costs. I’ll say that the Hilton timeshare is maybe a bit better then club Wyndham since the trading partner Hilton uses trades directly with Disney into Disney vacation club resorts. Used to be club Wyndham but switched to Hilton as a trade partner. For more useful information about timeshares people should check out timeshare users group or Google tug forum. They will give you the best advice and can give you all the tips for the timeshare sales meetings, where the best deals to buy timeshares are, and how to effectively use your timeshare if you buy one. Most of them will tell you flat out buy resale, unless you want full membership and only then buy the least you need for that level.

@GoodDealTraveler

It’s a common question and I researched this as well before going. All resort restaurants/bars in the resort will give you filtered water. The ice is safe to drink/eat as well. However don’t drink the water coming out of faucets/shower, you’re gonna spend your vacation on the toilet otherwise. There are water fountains on each floor to fill up your water bottle. I recommend using this water to brush your teeth with as well.
