Never buy a timeshare from this place. They lie and change their policies and you always end up with "not enough points"... I was able to legally exit mine and a major weight was lifted from my shoulders, after wasting thousands of dollars. Even though I legally exited their timeshare for fraudulent and predatory sales tactics, the stated it was an involuntary repossession, negatively affecting my credit report. I would give negative 10 stars! I know most of us have been approached by timeshare exit companies and most seem like scams, but I was contacted by SDS Properties and they offer a money back guarantee. Was was hesitant but spent about $3K and thought; what do I have to lose? I was able to legally exit in 9 months, official as of 12/1/24. I stopped paying so my credit took a temporary hit, but they have a credit service that disputes on your behalf and my scores are starting to come back up. I'm not trying to sell anything. but this perpetual debt was a major burden for me and my family and if I can help people get out of theirs, I will be posting this everywhere I can!

We all have been Scam by this fraudulent Welks and now Hyatt Time Share company! it is insane to pay for a maintain fee of $ 1900 last year!!. We are from middle class we live by check by check! how these people are now being Sue for all the lies that they told us! we all need to do something about it!

🔴 WARNING! Beware of Welk Resort Group Inc. and their high-pressure sales tactics. 🔴 My wife and I were deceived by Hyatt Vacation Club, a timeshare company that is scamming people out of their hard-earned money. I'm posting this to warn everyone about our horrendous experience with the so-called Hyatt Vacation Club Platinum Program (#P-324963). We were subject to an aggressive sales pitch, and deceptive promises, and they even separated us from our 6-year-old kid during the process, creating an environment of stress and pressure. It seemed they would stop at nothing to make the sale. What's worse, they will not let you out of the contract. We have tried numerous times to cancel our contract, all met with blatant refusals. They put us under tremendous financial stress, wrecked our credit score, and even negatively impacted our health due to the constant stress. Please, be cautious. Don't fall for the same trap we did. Always remember to take your time and never let anyone pressure you into signing a contract on the spot. Do your research, understand your rights, and consider all potential consequences before you sign anything.

Resort was sold by Wyndham maybe a year ago-lies after lies about the convenience and willing to take back the title with no renumeration.Do not buy as this is not true.All the salespeopel will pressure you to buy an upgrade and not worth a penny at all.All they care about is their own profit no regard to consumers they scammed.If there is zero it is.Very poor

There have already been many reviews about their scam when purchasing timeshares. But they also scammed me when I made a reservation to stay at their Escondido resort for three days. I made the resort reservation six months in advance then canceled it within one month after scheduling it. When I tried to cancel it I spoke to four different customer service agents all of whom stated that they could not locate my reservation even though I provided a confirmation number and all of my contact information. They insisted that there was no reservation on file. I asked to verify there was no reservation and they provided an email address as there was no one that they would allow me to speak with. I sent an email to the address provided with no response. When the dates that I had scheduled my stay had arrived I was charged for three days. When I called to inquire about this erroneous charge I was then told they charged me because I did not show up for my stay. I made every attempt even reported them to the Better Business Bureau and in the end they insisted that I was responsible since I was a no-show. I was out over $700. It is not possible the four different agents could not locate my reservation so clearly this was a scam to be able to charge me and still rent out the rooms. Do not under any circumstances book a room with them.

Beware of Welk Resorts and their timeshare. They are a scam!!! These crooks don’t deserve a single star! My family and I were approached by their marketing team, and were offered free tickets to Six Flags, a visa gift card, and a 3-day stay in Hawaii if we agreed to attend an hour-long sales presentation…this turned out to be 3 hours of extremely high-pressure sales tactics and a dubious scheme to get us to sign a contract that we are now trapped into! Everything they told us to convince us to buy one of their timeshares was either a flat out lie or an exaggeration! They purposely didn’t disclose many details that would have prevented us from buying. Falsely claimed that the timeshare would benefit our credit. Never disclosed the increase in maintenance costs. They promised a dream vacation in Hawaii that never came to fruition. Don’t fall for their scam. Don’t accept the free gifts! STAY AWAY FROM WELK RESORTS. We’re now stuck with a garbage timeshare and a lifetime of debt! Availability is awful so having a timeshare with them is useless, even after you “upgrade”. No matter how many points you have the return on investment is NEVER worth it with Welk. Just LOOK AT WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.

My experience with Welk Resorts has been atrocious and I fully regret the day I got involved with their timeshares. I was initially introduced to Welk Resorts after I received a call from them saying I had won a contest. When I went to claim my prize, it was a bait and switch; I found myself in a day’s long sales pitch. Their sales agents are masters of manipulation who not only exaggerate the benefits owning a Welk timeshare but also purposely leave out the details that would make any reasonable person walk right out. It’s shameful to realize what they do to you after you’ve already signed with them. Welks sales agents led me to believe I was getting a once in a lifetime deal and that they had never seen deals for such a low price…all lies. They lied about the exclusivity of their resorts. They constantly haggle you to upgrade yet you never see the benefits of it. All their fees continue to increase, and I’ve recently found out I’m in debt to them $110,000. What does it say about a company that does business like this? Don’t believe their lies. The timeshare is hardly usable, availability is scarce and almost always available to non-owners. What is the point of getting sucked into a Welk timeshare contract if you always must pay to use it and have the option to book online? Unless you’re purposely looking to get scammed and deceived, stay away from Welk Resorts. I wasn’t so lucky, and I have had enough. I hope other’s read this and spread the word about Welk.

WELK RESORTS: BREACH OF CONTRACT Welk’s representatives painted a very untrue and unrealistic picture of what membership would look like to get us to sign a contract that only benefits Welk. At the presentation we were given several gifts and were told we could go anywhere at any time. We were not given time to read the contract and were made to trust that we were being told the absolute truth. Since buying this membership we have not been able to make any reservations. There are hidden fees that have increased every year. They say there is a program to let you out of your contract but we have applied every year and are conveniently not chosen. We have paid them, in full, for something we have not been able to use and are told we have no options to get out of. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. There is no protection to the consumer and we want our money back. If you sign with Welk Resorts you are sure to regret it.
