Paradise Blue is a SCAM! They are nice and friendly at first, but IF you buy and ask for a refund (which you are told there is no problem in getting your money back if you change your mind) they are rude and hateful.
The reason you are not allowed to have your phone or go to the restroom is because they don't want you to check them out on the internet before they get your money...because trying to get your money back is almost impossible. Unless you are willing to be just as rude and hateful and spend part of your vacation fighting with them.
How sad it is that there are people like this out there that prey on others for money!
Good luck to all that gave them their hard earned money...I hope you get it back. Lets hope they get shut down soon. (But I am sure they will change their name again and re-open under a new name???)

My husband & I signed up for the Paradise Blue vacation club after attended their presentation. We found a lot of compains about this company on the internet after we left Hawaii. We cancelled it because we don't feel comfortable to deal with this company.
Actally, they are so very friendly & easy going. We got our refund check one week after our cancellation & they didn't give us any hard time at all. I don't understand why other people had many troubles with them. One of the article said it has 160+ cases complain toward this company, we went to BBC web site to find out that wasn't true.

Anyway, we log in their web site to check on the prices. It 's not a big saving on hotel & cruise (about 10% off), but it is a huge saving on condo. I think I will join this vacation club again when I go back to Hawaii next time.
