To those who might be considering vacationing in Puerta Plata and buying a membership at Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club:
i wanted to share my experience when I made purchased a membership and gave a $27,000 deposit in April 2007. To summarize, the membership did not live up to expectation as promised by the sales people there. I encountered several problems making reservations. Soon after i made my deposit, my credit card was be fraudulently charged by a duty free store in DR for an additional monthly payment beyond the monthly payment I had agree to pay.
My initial contract promised if i was unsatisfied for any reason, Lifestyle Holiday VAcation Club would re-sell my membership. after 2 1/2 year and red tape nothing has happened. I'm currently in litigitation attempting to get a refund on my initial deposit.
Sincerely,
Scott Stubbs
