I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN SO DISGUSTED AS RECENTLY WHEN I REALISED JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS THAT THE GRUPO MAYAN, HEAD OFFICE BASED IN MEXICO, HAS RENEGED ON THEIR WORD TO PAY BACK THE MONEY OWED ME BY THEM, FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS APPROX. AND THIS IS AFTER THEY WROTE DOZENS OF EMAILS NEGOTIATING THE RETURN OF THE MONEY PROMISING THAT THE MONEY WOULD BE RETURNED!!! SO MANY TIMES IN WRITING.

THE GRUPO MAYAN HAVE DEFRAUDED ME OF THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS THROUGH SHEER MISREPRESENTATION AND LIES, A WHOLE PACK OF LIES, WHICH THEY HAVE READY AT THOSE "REPRESENTATIONS" IN THEIR MAYAN PALACE "HOTEL" IN MEXICO. AND DON'T FALL FOR THE FREE BREAKFAST AS I DID BEFORE VIEWING THE APARTMENTS WHICH WOULD BE ON SHOW FOR TIMESHARE MUGS! THE BREAKFAST IS ALL BUFFET STYLE, VERY PLUSH SURROUNDINGS, TROPICAL BIRDS CHIRPING ALL AROUND YOU AND WAITRESS TO SERVE THE COFFEE AND TEA ON A SILVER TRAY. AND WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IN THE COFFEE TO MAKE YOU SO DISORIENTATED AND INDIFFERENT TO EVERYTHING, ONLY WISHING TO SLEEP FOR SOME FIVE TO SIX HOURS AFTERWARD, WELL GUESS! A DRUG AND THOSE CROOKS ARE QUITE HAPPY TO STOOP SO LOW AS TO DRUG THE UNSUSPECTING TOURIST FOR THEIR OWN INCREASE IN "SALES". THEY KNOW THAT YOU ARE FAR FROM HOME, YOU HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING A LONG WHILE, AS IN OUR CASE, TEN HOURS AND YOU ARE NOT ACQUAINTED WITH THE NEW COUNTRY THAT YOU ARE VISITING. SO WHEN THEY COME TO COLLECT YOU AT YOUR HOTEL AND PARK IN THE SIDE ALLEY BEWARE!!! THAT IS A BAD SIGN ALREADY. DECENT PEOPLE DO NOT HARASS NEWLY ARRIVED TOURISTS LIKE THIS INTO GOING TO THIER FIVE STAR HOTEL BY COMING TO COLLECT YOU AT NINE A.M. AFTER YOU HAVE ONLY JUST ARRIVED AND HARDLY HAD TIME TO RECOLLECT YOURSELF. ALL A PSYCHOLOGICAL PLOY TO GET YOU IN AN UNPREPARED STATE FOR WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENCOUNTER. HARD SALES PRESSURE TO GET YOU TO BUY A TIMESHARE. THEY NEVER SAY TIMESHARE ONCE, NOT EVEN ONCE, AND THEY ARE SELLING YOU TIMESHARE. NO WRITTEN BROCHURE IS THERE TO READ, ONLY THE SALES REP WITH ALL THE JARGON OF TIMESHARE RATTLING AWAY AT YOU NOT TO YOU LIKE A MACHINE GUN IN YOUR FACE. I WAS CLEARLY DOZING OFF FROM THE "COFFEE" AT BREAKFAST AND WAS TELLING THEM THAT ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TO GO BACK TO THE HOTEL AND REST. WE HAD ONLY JUST ARRIVED, MY COMPANION AND I BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE WAS WILLING TO GO WITH THESE CHARACTERS TO SEE THE HOTEL THEY HAD TO OFFER FOR THE "NEXT TIME" AND THAT WAS IT, IT WAS TIMESHARE THAT THEY WERE SELLING NOT A HOTEL VACATION IN THE REAL SENSE! SO I WENT WITH HER IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER, AND HER HUSBAND WOULD BE AFTER ME FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF HER. ANYWAY, THAT IS HOW I MET THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN ROBBING YOU, PURE AND SIMPLE, WITH A SMILE AND BY GETTING YOU TO HAND THEM YOUR DEBIT CARD AFTER YOU ARE DIZZY FROM ALL THOSE SALE REPS TALKING AT YOU LIKE VULTURES ONE AFTER THE OTHER AND THEN IN A CHORUS, AS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, AS THEY WERE IMPATIENT TO "SEAL THE DEAL", AND IN THE STATE THAT I WAS IN I THINK THAT I WOULD HAVE SIGNED ANYTHING. THE WHOLE THING IS A CON. YOU ARE IN A MENTAL STATE THAT DISABLES YOU FROM THINKING PROPERLY AND YOU END UP IN A DEAL WHICH YOU NEVER WANTED AND NEVER NEEDED.

WHEN I WOKE UP AT THREE A.M. IN THE HOTEL I WAS HORRIFIED AT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE MAYAN PALACE THE DAY AFTER THE VISIT BUT ONE, AS I NEEDED THE NEXT DAY TO COME TO THERE WAS NO ENERGY IN ME, AND I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL, I TRIED TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND WAS LEGALLY IN MY RIGHTS TO DO SO. BUT I LEARNED THAT I AM IN MEXICO AND THE GRUPO MAYAN ARE "ABOVE THE LAW" IN THIER BEHAVIOUR AT LEAST, THEY DO NOT ADHERE TO THE COOLING OFF PERIOD OF MEXICAN LAW, THEY ONLY ADHERE TO THEIR OWN LAW i.e. HIGHWAY ROBBERY - GET ALL YOU CAN WHILE YOU CAN DURING THE REPRESENTATION TELLING THE VICTIM THAT THEY MSUT SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE TO GET A DEAL OF A LIFETIME OR ELSE ALL IS LOST AND THEY LOSE THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY IF THEY DO NOT DO IT N O W!!! THAT IS HOW THEY SPEAK AND ACT. I WAS STUNNED, DOPED UP, TOTALLY ZOMBIE AND JUST WALKED OUT READY TO SLEEP. THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS ON MY MIND. IT WAS HORRENDOUS!!! WHEN I WENT BACK I ALMOST GOT A KICK IN THE REAR END. MONEY, WHAT MONEY, YOU SIGNED A CONTRACT AND NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. "WHY DID YOU SIGN" IS THE HYPOCRITICAL, CYNICAL QUESTION, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT YOU WERE IN THAT DRUGGED STATE AND WOULD SIGN ANYTHING. THAT IS HOW IT WAS. IT WAS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY BY ITSELF EITHER. I WOULD HAVE TO SEEK ADVCIE. MY VACATION WAS RUINED. I WAS IN THE MANAGER'S OFFICE, WITH THE DOOR LEFT AJAR FOR THE GUY ACROSS THE HALLWAY TO LISTEN TO OUR CONVERSATION AND MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF YOUR QUEST FOR YOUR MONEY BACK. YOU COME IN THINKING IT IS A BUSINESS AND YOU GO OUT KNOWING THAT IT IS A MAFI RING RUN BY MAFIOSO MEXICAN, ITALIAN CONCOCTION OF ANY CROOK UNDER THE MEXICAN SUN. NOT GOOD!!!

AFTER ADVICE HERE IN THE U.K. I MANAGED TO GET ON THE INTERNET AND EXPOSE THE MAFIOSO FROM CANCUN FOR TAKING ALL THAT CASH FOR AN APARTMENT WHICH I NEVER WANTED TO TIMSHARE OR ANY SHARE WHATSOEVER. IT WENT WELL UNTIL THE GRUPO MAYAN STARTED TO SAY THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT BUT THAT THE INFORMATION ON THE WEB WHICH I POSTED BE ERASED BEFORE THEY WOULD PAY OUT A SINGLE PENNY. I WANTED TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND DID AS THEY REQUESTED BELIEVING THAT THEY WOULD NOW KEEP THEIR PROMISE. THE EMAILS THAT THEY SENT ALL SAID THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO RETURN THE MONEY. SUDDENLY WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO RETURN THE MONEY THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO SIGN A CONTRACT SAYING THAT YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN WRITE ANYTHING ON THERE AGAINST THEM AGAIN. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY? WELL, THAT WAS GOING TO "COME TO YOU" AS SOON AS THEY RECEIVED THE CONTRACT SIGNED BY ME!!! WELL, GUESS WHAT, I NEEDED AN ESCROW AGENT IN THE FORM OF A TRUSTED LAWYER AND REPUTABLE COMPANY AND I GOT ONE. I PAID HIM THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS IN U.K. STERLING AND THEN WHEN THE GRUPO MAYAN HAD SENT THE CHECK TO ME I WOULD HAVE LET THEM HAVE THE SIGNED CONTRACT EXPRESSING THE PROMISE THAT NOT A SINGLE WORD WOULD BE PRINTED AGAINST THEM OR SAID AGAINST THEM. THEY LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE MONEY. BUT THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND. THEY SIMPLY DID NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE LAWYER ANYMORE. WHERE WAS THE INTENTION TO RETURN THE MONEY AFTER ALL THAT? WAS IT ALL EMPTY WORDS TO GET YOU TO SIGN THE CONTRACT, WHICH THEY CHANGED TWICE AND IT HARDLY HAS THIER NAME ON IT, INCOGNITO ALMOST, READY FOR YOU SIGNATURE AND YOU WOULD THEN BE TAKEN TO COURT IF YOU ASKED THEM TO KEEP THEIR PART OF THE BARGAIN. I WAS STUCK. I REGRETTED SO MUCH TAKING OFF THE COMPLAINTS I HAD WRITTEN ABOUT THEM, ALL OF WHICH WERE ACURATE AND TRUE. THEY MADE ME GO THROUGH ALL THAT ONLY TO JUST "DISAPPEAR".

THIS IS NOT A COMPANY OR PROPER BUSINESS, IT IS A CROOK'S DEN OF HIGHT SKILLED CON ARTISTS WHO HAVE IT DOWN TO A FINE ART TO CON UNSUSPECTING TOURISTS INTO A DEAL WHICH WOULD COST YOU DEARLY AND AT THE END YOU WILL GET A STUDIO FOR A WEEK WHICH YOU CANNOT SELL!!! AND THEN A WHOLE CAN OF WORMS WOULD OPEN AGAIN. HOW TO GET RID OF THE TIMESHARE THAT IS WORTHLESS ANYWAY!?!!!? IT IS A "LIVE QUICKSAND" THAT YOU ARE IN. I WAS DROWNING IN PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THAT INITIAL TERRIBLE MISTAKE OF ALLOWING MYSELF TO BE DRAGGED AND THEN DRUGGED AT THE ROYAL MAYAN. DO NOT GO THERE!!! IT IS A DEN OF CHEATS WHO ARE WAITING FOR YOU READY TO BITE!!! AND THEY BIT HARD INTO YOUR FINANCES!!! AND IT COSTS YOU A LOT OF MONEY FROM DAY ONE!!! DO NOT DO IT. RATHER JUST GO ON VACATION AND REST, PAY YOUR HOTEL AND DO NOT THINK THAT ANYTHING THAT THEY TELL YOU ABOUT RENTING THIS PLACE IS OK. IT IS NOT. THEY ARE NOT THERE TO DO A PROPER DEAL AND ANYWAY IF IT WERE ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE TALKED INTO THE GROUND THAT DAY LIKE THAT UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE BY FIVE REPS ALL STARING AT THE HALF DEAD DUCK IN FRONT OF THEM!!! I WAS ALMOST ON THE FLOOR FROM FATIGUE BY THEN. MY MIND HAD BEEN ZOMBIFIED BY THE DRUG AND I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS. IF THE COMPANION WAS NOT WITH ME I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT BACK TO THE HOTEL AT ALL!!!

I AGREE WITH ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSTED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE GRUPO MAYAN, DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE CROOKS, NOTHING MORE THAN CROOKS. NO TRICK IS TOO LOW FOR THEM!!! THAT IS HOW THEY DO "BUSINESS". IT IS AN INSULT TO THE WORLD OF COMMERCE THAT THEY EXIST AND ARE CALLED A BUSINESS!!!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. IF YOU WANT PEACE AND QUIET IN YOUR LIFE AND NOT TO BE ROBBED OF YOUR HARD EARNED CASH DO NOT DEAL WITH THE GRUPO MAYAN!!!
