cgcghlr says "Bluegreen Vacation Club - Great for Families!" about Bluegreen - Vacation Club

cgcghlr — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:11:17 GMT

My mother and I purchased Bluegreen this past year in Aruba after renting from a Bluegreen owner. It was a fabulous vacation, and after 2 months we added more points to get to Gold status. This allows both of us to split the costs and trade off on who uses the points if one of us wants to take a bigger (ie. more expensive points vacation) or longer vacation one year. In less than a year, we've also separately been to Williamsburg, Suites at Hershey, Shennandoah Crossing and Club 36. Our main vacation will be Aruba every year, but with all the bonus time (and yes, we've booked vacations with bonus time), extra week vacations, etc., we feel we're getting a lot for our vacation points. I've also exchanged into RCI once so far with our Bluegreen points - and I've gotten one week in the Canary Islands at a top resort for Easter break time and am hoping to get a second week at the same resort to make it a two week vacation.

The key is too plan early, and if you're a premier member,...

I would like to thank you for arranging my tour of Istanbul on March 16. Everything went very smoothly and comfortably. The young driver, I think his name was Mehmet, was very courteous and pleasant. I would particularly like to say thank you for my guide, Mr. Ilhan Atesgoz who was so knowledgeable and a very interesting person to talk to. He certainly made the time spent in Istanbul memorable. I shall be very pleased to recommend One Nation Travel to anyone who is coming to Istanbul. All the best and thank you again. Rumi Engineer

maryanntck says " I look forward to traveling with Right-Travel again" about RIGHT TRAVEL - EGYPT

maryanntck — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:43:27 GMT

RIGHT-TRAVEL.COM what an amazing visit we had in Egypt this past two weeks. I have to say I was a little concerned when I booked the trip online. This started as a vacation and became an adventure. The starr in Cairo, Ahmed, Hussein and Mustafa were amazing. We never worried about a thing. Hussein out guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun with him. It was a pleasure to meet him.

Once we were in Luxor, we met up with Alaa. He was the perfect match for us. Extremely fascinating to listen to. He has a passion for Egypt that mesmerized us all. We wanter for noghting. Not only did he show us the sites but he showed us Egypt. The people, customs and traditions. Our last miute trip to the Nubian village was unbelievable. We were his first tour with Right-Travel and I believe he will be a great asset to the company. We will think of him ofen.

We had the pleasure of meeting Yasser at Philae, and I would like to congratulate him fo putting together an excellan staff....

ydizdar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:36:24 GMT

Cappodocia was like a dream. It was a fantastic place with its history and incredible natural surroundings and also entertainment. I spent 3 unforgettable days in there with my family. I would like to special thanks for the company "Package Tours Turkey". They provided us a very professional and comfortable vacation. All the personel were very kindly and helpful. They did everything properly and well organised to feel ouselves much more better. The guide had a perfect knowledge about the area and he was also very enjoyable. My four years old daughter did not forget him. We planned a new and longer journey with "Package Tours Turkey" for the next year. Thanks again for everything you did for us.

onetraveler says "Planning is the key, great club! " about Bluegreen - Vacation Club

onetraveler — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:32:42 GMT

We have owned BG for about 4 years now. It has been great! The accomodations are superior to a hotel room. We typically pay our fees early and plan so we can get on the wait list for what we want. (Once you pay early if you always pay then each year it is no different than paying when they are due.) We can take family with us or go alone due to the variety of accomoidations. The sales staff is exactly that - sales staff. They do lead you to believe that you can get bonus time, (We have used this a couple times to extend our stay somewhere and a few other times, but it is hard and almost impossible at peak seasons.), will get free extended stays if gold or above, (Never have gotten this.), and that if you don't buy you are missing out on a once in a lifetime chance. Use your head and step back and think about it - it gets you a better deal and it is pretty much what they truly say it is. I believe once we do not have children in school it will be easier to use all these...

NewBuffaloBoy says "Our family was so happy we didnt want to leave." about Lake Effect Vacation Rentals - New Buffalo Michigan 49117

NewBuffaloBoy — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 05:32:17 GMT

My family has not been on vacation in over three years. It was a great time, we enjoyed all the time we had together in a very clean well maintained home. We spent most of our time cooking out, playing games, hanging out at the pool and watching the sunsets. Upon our arrival there was a gift basket left by Lake Effect. They also took the time to stop by and make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We highly recommend going to Harbor Country Michigan for your summer vacations it was one of our best.

bootz58 says "bluegreen vacation what a let down" about Bluegreen - Vacation Club

bootz58 — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:27:09 GMT

We have belonged to "Blue Green " for 9 ugly years. they talk the talk but can't deliver the goods. and then the oly way to catch anything is to get more points, we are "gold" members and still can not get into the resorts we want so i told them we want to sell the properties , yes properties cause we pay maintaince fees on 4 different properties. unfortunatly for us we can not sell these as seperate properties ,we have to sell all the points at once. then they change our renewal date from sept. when we would have gotten 38000 points to march , basicaly after the kids spring breaks so it's too late to book anything and god forbid you try and use the saved points.

I highly recommed that everyone stay clear of Blue Green corp all together. .

most the good reviews are put there by their employee's i suspect . probably in the sales area.

montrealmaria says "Friendly, Safe, Very Informative, Fun" about www.ramsestours.com - egypt

montrealmaria — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:12:59 GMT

Hi,

My family of 5 just returned from a RCI cruise that stopped at Alexandria.

We had booked our tour with Ramses months prior to departure. George, the tour operator was always very quick to answer my many questions and always made me feel that we would be taken very well care of. I even called him prior to leaving to make sure everything was well organized for us. Our ship was in Alexandria from 7am to 10pm. Everything we organized was carried out very nicely. We always felt safe and we were very satisfied with our guide and driver. We met our guide at the scheduled time of 7:30am. He was waiting for us with our name on a board right outside the gangway. He made us feel safe from the first handshake! We immediately were escorted to his comfortable van with air condition. We were 5 plus the driver and our guide. Our guide was a young man, who was very knowledgeable in all of Egypts's history. He talked the whole 3 hours on our way to the pyramids, giving us...

dmcody1701 says "Completely unprofessional--a scam" about Bluegreen - Vacation Club

dmcody1701 — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:20:55 GMT

BlueGreen Vacations is perhaps the most unprofressional company I have ever dealt with. It truly follows if it is too good to be true, it probably is idea. We signed up for a sampler package and have headaches since. Despite filling out all of the paperwork correctly for a monthly bank draft, BlueGreen failed to draft from our account. Once we caught this and informed the company it took over a month to create a solution. Once this was fixed, two weeks later we received a letter informing us we turned over to a collections agency...another of several afternoons wasted fixing a BlueGreen mistake. We will never use this agency...nor recommend it...EVER. Don't even bother trying.

rottweilersrule says "omg apples" about Apple Vacation - Cancun, MX

I would recommend applesvacation to everyone. They are huge on customer service except yes thier is always an EXCEPT. USA3000 DO NOT WHAT EVER YOU DO travel USA3000. We drove 3 hours to Chicago and stayed the night the day before we flew because we had to be at the airport at 5am. The flight was to leave at 7am. We board the plane and then they tell us to unboard the plane because they dont have a 3rd pileot. We were their 9 hours waiting for him to arrive. Thats was on the way. On the way home, yes this was the best. We had to be 3 hours early as soon as we checked in we were told a 3 hour delay no reason justed delayed. Well 3 hrs turned into yet another 9 hrs. When the plan landed USA3000 let us no Chicago had bad storms delayed 5 flights and through everything off. When we were flying into Chicago my boyfriend and I were looking out the window because the skys were so blue and you could see everaything the flight attendant even looked out our window and said "wow it didnt look like...

I just wanted to email you and say thank you for arranging our trip to Turkey. We had an amazing time, and for me it was the highlight of our six week trip. Having everything **'**done**'** for us really took a load off our minds - by the time we reached Athens we had been travelling for 4 weeks, so it made a huge difference being picked up from the airports, etc, without having to worry about public transport for a change! The tours you arranged for us were fantastic - the guides were terrific and very knowledgeable about the sites. We learnt so much from them! Everyone we met was so welcoming and helpful, including all the staff at the hotels. I would not hesitate to recommend you to fellow travellers, and will definitely be in contact with you again for our next trip (I still want to make it to Cappodocia!) Thank you again - we really appreciate your help. Kindest regards, John OneNation Travel Turkey

yturkcan says "http://www.packagetoursturkey.com" about Turkey Tours - Turkey

yturkcan — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:20:14 GMT

Package Tours Turkey organized a four-day trip starting in Istanbul and ending in Cappadoccia.
Flight to Izmir, bus tickets, accommodation, breakfast and lunch was included.

First day: Izmir on the Aegean coast. A fascinating city on its own. Visiting Ephesus is a must; it's the most famous ancient city in Turkey. Pergamon and the place of the wooden horse: Troy. A stay at Canakkale is a good stepping stone to visiting Gallipoli (Gelibolu) and Anzac Cove.

Second Day: Pamukkale has spectacular landscapes. On approaching it, one notices a rock rising up, with terraced slopes filled with natural basins of white water that seemed more like ice than a hot spring, because of the color. It was a waterfall in snow.

Third and fourth day: Cappadocia's bizarre rock formations and caves make it a magically weird place. First day tour was Open Air Museum (has churches and shelters in it))

The second day tour in Cappadoccia was to Ihlara Valley. We walked between the valley and the river, we saw the small...

darlyn63 — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:18:05 GMT

My best friend called one day and said "I need to get away" With her stressful business every three months she would take a vacation. Well when she called and asked if my husband and I wanted to go on a trip with her husband and her. I said "I don't know". She wanted to go on a cruise, I thought to myself "A cruise those are so expensive". We'll she found this website and already booked theirtrip. And finally, after asking and asking I said I can't spend that much. Here our trip was a little less then theirs. How this works is you put your top bid in on a cruise or vacation if it goes over your under no obligation to go. So for our Celebrity Cruise for 7 days, all meals 24/7 cost us $177.00, where can you get a price like that? At SkyAuction.com That is why I say it works like ebay, you put your top price your willing to pay, if it goes over you can bid again or not. I have seen trips go for very little. One top of that one day we were at Sea for the whole day and my hubby decided to go...

vactions09 says "Apple Vacations was not up to par" about Apple Vacation - Mexico

vactions09 — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:28:22 GMT

We have traveld before on an Apple Vacation but never again. We planned to stay at Iberostar Tucan but when we arrived we were told that hotel was closed and were now staying at Iberostar Lindo. The Tucan had been closed for 2weeks you would think someone from apple vacations would have known that since they have reps at all the hotels? That was our first communication problem. The hotel was nice and the service was good but that was not because of Apple. The problem was the location it was a distance from town and now we incurred extra costs when trying to go into town. Plus this is not what we agreed on when setting up the vacation and now what were we suppose to do waste time trying to pick something else. We also tried booking an excursion we were being picked up at 7:30am, however the night before at 10pm we received information that changed and now the trip would leave at 10:30 which meant we would be getting back at 4:30 instead of 1pm., however the rep that called told us the......

I am writing to you to thank you very much indeed for the tour arrangements you made for me during my recent visit to Turkey. All of the arrangements went very smoothly, I had no problems whatsoever, and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. As you will recall, when I originally wrote to you about the trip, I simply told you how long I had in Turkey, and asked for your suggestions. The itinerary you put together for me was ideally suited to my needs, and to the time I had in Turkey. When I visit Tukey again, I will definitely contact you to ask for your assistance. I will certainly also recommend your services to anyone ( http://www.allistanbultours.com and http://www.onenationtravel.net ) I know who is contemplating a visit. Once again, many thanks for your help. Sincerely, James...

pfox says "traveled to Huatulco and the trip was terrible,never saw the app" about Apple Vacation - Mexico

pfox — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:51:09 GMT

Went to Crown Pacific Resort in Huatulco, Mexico March 9 to the 16th. 2009. This had to be the worst vacation of my life. Apple vacation rates this resort a 4 red apple but in reality its nothing more than a 2, and that is being generous. The resort only has one specialty restaurant that was only open on Tuesdays and one buffett. The food on the buffett on most nights was terrible. There was very little variety and it all basically tasted the same.The second day we were there, we became ill with stomach pain and diarrhea. This lasted the entire vacation and when we returned home, we had to seek medical attention. While at the resort, we found that many of the other guests were experiencing the same symptoms as we were. Some had to seek medical attention there. The resort has all suites and we paid for an upgraded suite. The only difference between ours and the others besides the additional cost was that we had a view of the pool and the ocean. The view of the ocean was nice......

LaurafromIllinois says "awesome personal tour you cannot get from any boat tour " about www.ramsestours.com - egypt

LaurafromIllinois — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 23:54:34 GMT

We booked with Ramses Travel for several reasons: the price was excellent, the personal service was excellent, booking and paying for the tour was easy. Kareem, our guide, was so easy going, taught us some basic Egyptian language, and bent over backwards to accommodate our every whim. Whatever we wanted to do, no matter how long we wanted to stay, he did it. We took a 2-hour long personal car ride to Cairo from Alexandria with Kareem and driver, Mourad. They met us at the port, picked us up and off we went. First stop was the pyramids . . awesome . .got to go into one (hope you're not claustrophobic) then we rode camels to the Spinx which was all pre-arranged. Next stop was the Hard Rock Cafe to buy some shirts and extra disposable cameras then off to a very nice American-friendly restaurant for lunch . .again all paid for in one lump sum. Went to the museum which was again, guided by our friendly tour guide, Kareem, who explained all history and folklore. We went shopping at any store...
